An Ultimate Guide to Spring Cleaning

It’s springtime, which gives all of us the perfect occasion to turn over a new leaf!

 

I am the first to admit that cleaning is not my favorite thing in the world. I enjoy organizing, but cleaning? Not so much. 

 

For a lot of us, cleaning can seem like quite the chore, but there’s no doubt that it’s super satisfying to see all the wonderful fruit of your labor!

 

Every year when spring cleaning time rolls around, I think about creating a list to help successfully clean out the stuff I don’t need and the places I don’t always clean. 

 

This year is the year, and I created a spring cleaning list for you and me!

 

With a written list I think that it helps me not only clean more areas of my apartment, but also stay on task with completing spring cleaning. 

 

With a written list, I am less likely to get discouraged and abandon my plans.

 

I created a list based off of areas in my apartment. This way I can get more from room to room rather than work all over the place. Also, it is easier to split up the rooms in case you need more days to complete spring cleaning.

First, start by thinking about what areas in your home need work. Make sure to have a plan when tackling each room so that you are more likely to complete it and promptly.
