That’s a great idea! Spring cleaning can be refreshing but also overwhelming if you don’t have a plan. Are you focusing on your entire home, or do you have specific areas in mind? I can help with checklists, organization tips, or even a schedule to make it easier!
What is Spring Cleaning?
Spring cleaning is a deep cleaning and organizing tradition that many people do at the start of spring. It goes beyond regular cleaning by tackling areas that often get neglected, like closets, baseboards, windows, and storage spaces. It’s a chance to declutter, refresh your home, and create a cleaner, more organized space.
Common tasks in spring cleaning include:
✔ Decluttering and donating unwanted items
✔ Deep cleaning carpets and upholstery
✔ Washing windows and curtains
✔ Organizing closets and storage spaces
✔ Dusting hard-to-reach areas
✔ Cleaning out the pantry and fridge
