It’s Spring and you know what that means, right? Time for spring cleaning (and of course spring showers, spring gardening, spring blooms) all that fun stuff. But I am most excited for Spring cleaning, yeah I said it! I just love deep cleaning and having a fresh house to go with the fresh feel that the Spring season brings. However, I will say that I tend to get a tad overwhelmed with all the cleaning mostly because I am a mom. If you are a mom then you know, it is no easy feat cleaning the house with littles in tow.

So I decided to make a Spring cleaning checklist to help with the overwhelmed plus it is so satisfying checking off those boxes, am I right? You can download the checklist here. Or you can scroll and read through in a more detailed manner and then grab the checklist at the bottom. 🙂 Either way, you are set! But before we get started…I wanted to share some tips for setting yourself up for success especially if you are a busy mama (but you don’t have to be a mama for these tips).

Some Tips To Keep In Mind For Spring Cleaning

Make A Plan To Clean:

You don’t have to do the Spring cleaning all in one day or even in one week. If you are a mom, unless you can get a babysitter, that is nearly impossible. So to set yourself for success, give yourself 3-7 days for deep cleaning each room! Take your time and take the pressure off. I have found it so much easier to focus on one room at a time. And if you finish early then you can start the next room with the same method. Try to devote an hour each day if possible to start the deep cleaning process! But don’t beat yourself up if you only get a couple things done a day!

Make Sure You Have All Your Cleaning Supplies Before You Start:

I cannot tell you how many times I decided that I am going to start cleaning and then I don’t have the right cleaning products to get the job done. So frustrating! So make sure you look through all your cleaning products and make sure you write down what you need to go purchase!

Let go of expectations & Make it fun:

Spring cleaning isn’t always fun and sometimes can be stressful especially if you have little ones. Just remember to take one day at a time and let go of those expectations. If while you are deep cleaning one area of the house while your littles are destroying another area, it’s okay! It’s close to impossible (at least for me) to have a completely clean house with littles. The goal is to deep clean not necessarily have everything picked up!

Now for the make it fun part: Blast some music, open up windows, and let that sunshine in. Light some candles and dance your way around the room while you clean! It’s going to feel so great once your whole house has been deep cleaned!

Alright, now that we covered some tips before starting your spring cleaning, lets get to the actual cleaning! Below is a list of rooms and what to clean in each room. Don’t forget to download your Spring cleaning checklist so you know exactly what tasks to tackle and to check it off!
