Spring Cleaning Checklist

 

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.

      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 🙂
