This post is about Spring cleaning your home with the help of the ultimate spring cleaning checklist printable!
The start of the new Spring season is all about new beginnings. And what better way to set your home for the season of renewal than Spring cleaning!
Spring cleaning can be a daunting task. And even as someone who loves cleaning, it can get overwhelming cleaning every single room in the house. But what I found that helps me is having a thorough spring cleaning checklist which I’ll be sharing with you!
Having a detailed checklist means that you know exactly what needs to be to be cleaned without missing out or forgetting anything! It’s simple to follow and best of all, it’s free! Download and print out my checklist below to help you get ready for Spring cleaning your home.
Tips for Spring Cleaning
🎧 Put on your favorite playlist – The most difficult part about Spring cleaning is actually having the energy to get up and get started. But I found that putting on my favorite playlist gets me motivated to start!
🫧 Gather your cleaning supplies – You can’t start Spring cleaning without your trusty cleaning supplies! Make sure you’re stocked up on them for a smooth Spring clean!
🪟 Air out your home – Spring cleaning while it’s stuffy inside doesn’t help with the amount of energy you’ll be using up. Crack open those windows and let fresh air into your home so you can be more comfy (and breathe better) while cleaning!
💭 Declutter – Spring being the season of renewal means being open to letting go of the things you don’t need, use, or like anymore! And if you can, donate them!
Spring Cleaning Must Haves
Here are the essential supplies you need to make your Spring clean seamless:
• Cordless vacuum cleaner
• Damp dusting sponge (for wiping down baseboards)
• Microfiber towels
• Spin mop
• Duster
• The pink stuff cleaning paste (for tough stains)
• Glass cleaning spray (for windows and mirrors)
• Glass cloth (microfiber leaves residue and streaks; this will make it streak-free)
