I always get so excited to spring clean! Is that weird? I just feel like earth has just been cleaned, it is all fresh, with the new flowers and the trees coming back to life, with the spring air that just can’t quite be described.
I feel like it is my turn to get my house in shape too.
Sometimes I am not quite sure where to start. This year I came up with some ideas so I can stay focused, and actually get’er done.
Here are my 25+ ideas for spring cleaning.
I have broken it down by rooms.

1) Clean out the garbage can
2) Wipe out the cupboards
3) Deep clean the fridge
4) Clean under the fridge and stove

That is all that I thought of for now. I am just going to pick a couple to work on everyday (or maybe some of the things I will work on for a week) until it’s done. And hopefully, (fingers crossed) when spring gets here, my house will be clean and fresh too.

I like that you added in “rearrange” since when I’m done my home renovation and am just working on keeping the home organized and happily functioning, I’ve always been attracted to the thought of actually changing out bed linens, some pillows, beloved knick nacks, curtains?? and even some art – as part of the spring clean up. I think its a healthy idea that could be a fun family tradition that welcomes in spring maybe? .. if we keep everything up and the same we can kind of get complacent with our homes and the energy can get stagnant .. I believe our homes are an organic representation of us and we should always keep ourselves fresh and alive right! 😉 Great post!
What a nice guide! It is very helpful, I like organizing and rearranging my house but unfortunately I don’t have enough time to do it. Thank you for giving us a cleaning plan! Greets!
