I have added to each section a reminder to write down all the DIY/trades jobs that I come across as there are bound to be a few things I notice when I’m cleaning.

Right – that being said – shall we get on to the main event?! We all have some stuff lying around in our day to day lives, so it makes sense to at least do a tidy round the house first before spring cleaning. This makes sense because then you aren’t trying to clean around things quite as much. What I would suggest before you start your cleaning is a QUICK tidy up and getting rid of obvious rubbish. TIP – There is a sort of exception to this rule, however. Doing it this way means you can focus on one thing at a time, and you’ll get through it Oh so much more easily. And who wants that much to do?ĭeclutter as it’s own job, trust me, that’s big enough! – then clean what’s left – and then organise. Most checklists I’ve found so far have tasks that run to pages and pages because of these extra tasks. Sounds logical, right – but most people try and also declutter AND organise as they go round their home. One thing I’d really like to mention before we get started (and that I think is crucial in avoiding overwhelm) is that my Spring Cleaning checklist is purely for, well, cleaning! YES – I Want This Free Printable(s) My #1 Tip For Spring Cleaning Imagine that sense of accomplishment when it’s all done (there’s nothing like ticking things off a list to create motivation!). You’ll know where you are with everything, and you can even delegate tasks if you have family that can help. Whether you have half an hour a day, or want to do everything in one day – it’s UP TO YOU.įor me, I DO love to tackle my spring cleaning over just a day or two – as it feels great to have it all done at once, but you work as you see fit and as your schedule allows.Īll you have to do, is follow the checklist, tick each task off as you do it – and do every job on the list. You don’t need to take a week off work to tackle it – and you certainly shouldn’t feel like it’s too much of a chore.Īs such, I’ve put together a spring cleaning checklist for you – but I’d like to note that there is no time limit here. But I’m here to say that it really needn’t be that way. Spring cleaning can come with a lot of overwhelm, in terms of how much needs to get done. I suppose that’s why we hear about spring cleaning so much, and winter/summer/autumn cleaning less so…. With all this being said, a good deep clean can be something that’s done at any time of year (I tend to do it each season, which means that it never gets too out of control!), but Spring is definitely the nicest time to get it all done. When I can sit down with a cuppa and enjoy the (albeit brief!) time that everything is immaculate. I think my favourite part though is that feeling when it’s all done. There’s something really therapeutic about cleaning, when you really tackle it head on and get loads done – and that’s where spring cleaning comes in! but maybe, just maybe, it’s got something to do with the fact that the sunshine shows off all the corners of the house that little more clearly than the winter light did – and there’s a few cobwebs showing that were previously hidden…. When the sun shines I feel the need to turn some music on, open the windows to get some fresh air in, and get the house sparkling. It depends on my mood, and to be honest – how nice the weather is outside! Well – sometimes it can be a joy, and sometimes it’s a real chore.
