What is spring cleaning?
This is a very thorough room by room Spring Cleaning Routine. It is a deep cleaning in the Spring with a large list of cleaning tasks.
When to start Spring cleaning?
Traditionally, this happens in the Spring right after everyone has endured the long months of Winter. It is so refreshing to open the windows and let fresh air inside.
However, if Spring is not convenient for you, feel free to do a deep cleaning any type that suits you.
Where do I start spring cleaning?
To keep me organized and on track, I like to use a spring cleaning checklist. Using a checklist not only keeps you on track, but also makes sure you remember to clean even the smallest things in every room.
For example, the baseboards are often overlooked in daily cleaning. This handy checklist will help you remember to wipe down the baseboards and more.
This free Spring Cleaning printable list will help to keep us on track with cleaning the entire house.
