Anyone else look forward to Spring Cleaning every year? Call me crazy, but I do! Sure, it’s a lot of work, it can be gross and time consuming, but once it’s all done, the house looks AND smells spectacular!
The problem is that it can be so overwhelming, and oftentimes; you don’t know where to start. You tend you forget some things or clean some things multiple times.
That’s why it’s important to have a list including each room and the things you wish to accomplish in that room. I’ve included a Spring Cleaning check-list to help keep you on track. I also include yard work on my Spring-cleaning check list, so if you’d like to stick to the inside of your home only, that’s fine!
