I can’t wait for spring, not only for the snow to melt, the hot weather and the flowers to come out, but to reorganize and clean my house from top to bottom. I just love Spring Cleaning! Opening the windows and letting some fresh air in, getting rid of things I don’t use and clean and refresh every room in my house.
It feels so good when the house is nice, clean and functional.
Since I have a list for everything, I do have a very detailed spring cleaning checklist that I’ve updated into a printable checklist so it’s easy for you to print and use.

This list makes me feel exhausted and invigorated all in one…hahaha! So ready for Spring! Thanks for the list, I love lists! Do you know of any recipes for any Au natural cleaners? Would love for you to post some if you do. Blessings from Twitter I’m following along everywhere.
I know how you feel. It’s seems like a lot but once you start it feels so good that you just want to do more and more. I do have recipes for natural cleaners that I will be posting shortly. Vinegar can be used to clean a lot of stuff. Here is a link to another blog that gives you some tips on cleaning with vinegar. https://www.livelovediy.com/2013/06/10-vinegar-cleaning-secrets.html
Thank you for this list, it is a great way to stay motivated. And I need all the help I can get when it comes to motivation!
I know what you mean! I took a week off work last year to do my spring cleaning, but this year I spend all my vacations with my kids. I don’t know when I’ll find the time to work, blog and do my spring cleaning, but with this list, you can do it a little bit a a time and just check it off the list as your go 🙂
