Spring Cleaning Made Easy: A Checklist to Refresh Your Home for the New Season
Below is my free printable checklist that is broken out by each room in my personal home. Feel free to utilize it in your own home to make this season’s cleaning extra easy.
Now, onto the tasks at hand!
Purge
The first step in Spring cleaning is actually decluttering and getting rid of what no longer serves your life. I like to do this by tackling the hardest spot in your home. For me, it’s my bedroom’s Monica closet. I have the largest closet in the world and thus, everything goes it in. Making it the perfect place to start pulling everything out and going through what’s no longer needed.
I like to separate everything into four piles:
- Garbage
- Donate
- Sell
- Keep
Deep clean
Next up is the most cathartic part. The deep clean. I love the feeling of each space after this part is done.
I love wiping everything down first. Then, I use an all-purpose cleaner spray on all my surfaces but a powder for tubs, stoves, and sinks. I also like to keep the windows open for air circulation.
Organize
This is my least favorite part but I will say that containers are helpful. So is a labeling system, and a place for everything. As I’m not an organization expert I will refrain from going forward.
However, I will say, Spring cleaning is the time of year I swap out all of my Fall/Winter wardrobes for my Spring/Summer. I also declutter and launder these as well. It’s a great time to consider bringing in your winter boots for repair and winterized for the next year, buttons replace, and coats dry cleaned.
Refresh
This is my favorite step of Spring cleaning. I love refreshing my new space by opening all the windows, buying flowers, and lighting a floral seasonal candle.
As promised, my free printable checklist is below! I hope you use it and enjoy it.
