Now that spring is officially here, it is time to think about spring cleaning! First lets think about why we spring clean. When fall comes people open their windows, let the fall breezes come in. Quickly the windows get closed, and winter sets in. During winter months, the house stays closed up. Sometimes cold and flu germs run rampant on your home. You can change your air filter, sanitize everything, and it will still feel stuffy when spring comes. Spring cleaning is to focus on cleaning away the months of germs, dust, and things that have collected over the months of being stuck in the house. So are you ready to get spring cleaning?
When you Google “spring cleaning checklist” you will find tons and tons of different lists. Everything from full house lists, room-by-room lists, and even home maintenance lists. So where do you start?
Where to Start?
It really depends on how long it has been since you did a good spring cleaning, what your goals are, and what your time frame to get it all done is. If it has been awhile since you had your HVAC cleaned, and your gutters are full, maybe a home maintenance list is your starting point. If not, start with an indoor checklist.
After you browse all of the different spring cleaning checklists, find one that appeals to you the most. If you have time limits to get things done, concentrate on the common rooms first. Once these are done, you can check off one room at a time throughout the house. If you feel like you won’t complete your checklist if you start in the main rooms, start with your easiest room first. This will give you the inspiration to move onto the next room. Don’t save the biggest project for last, but add it right into the middle of your plan. This way you don’t want to quit before you get the biggest one done.
The best tip I have is to create a plan and stick to it. Don’t let distractions get in the way. If you miss a planned day, reschedule it. Get the family involved. You didn’t make the whole mess, you don’t have to do it alone.
