Spring is in the House
It’s officially spring, you guys!
While spring isn’t technically my favorite season, I do love it when the sun finally peeks out from behind the clouds, and my motivation for deep cleaning returns.
We had some amazing spring weather last week which motivated me to open up the windows and tackle some of those pesky cleaning tasks I’ve put off all winter.
However, winter has briefly returned to Montana this week and we officially have snow on the ground again.
So, needless to say, I’m trying to hang on to that motivation in writing this, you guys!
The Importance of Spring Cleaning
I’m the type of person who generally keeps a clean home.
I do this by focusing on daily maintenance tasks Monday – Friday, working on deeper cleaning tasks on Saturdays, and utilizing Sunday to reset.
That said, I also typically do an overhaul on the entire house with the changing of every season.
I go through everything, declutter, donate, and deep clean.
While I love doing this with the changing of every season, many typically only tackle this depth of cleaning when spring arrives.
I feel like spring is the most popular time for this simply because winter can wreak havoc on a house.
From the excess clutter left over from the holidays to the yuck tracked in from snowy weather.
Plus, spring is all about new beginnings in my book which means it’s the perfect time to get a fresh start in your home.
That said, spring really is the perfect time to work on forming good cleaning habits that last all year long.
It just feels so good, you guys!
Using a Spring Cleaning Checklist
While some people may be able to wing it when it comes to spring cleaning, that simply doesn’t work for me.
I thrive with visual plans and printable to-do lists.
Without checklists and plans, I simply lack motivation and struggle to stay productive.
So, if you struggle with staying on task or thrive best with a checklist, this one is totally for you!
That said, you also don’t have to live in a conventional home to use this awesome printable.
While I created this checklist to cover the areas in most traditional homes, you can totally skip over the ones that aren’t applicable to you.
For example, our family full-time RVs (part-time travels) and we live in a 5th wheel year round!
I too will be utilizing this simple spring cleaning checklist — skipping the garage section of course.
Since I already utilize a cleaning routine for our RV, this won’t be too hard to tackle in the coming weeks.
