Spring Cleaning!

April 30, 2018 | Posted by: Holly Cochrane

It is that time of year when our energy levels increase due to more hours of daylight, we feel fresh and we feel more motivated because it’s warmer outside. Spring time typically encourages us to do some spring cleaning but some of us find it challenging to get into the cleaning zone!

There are a few things I like to do to get me into the cleaning and organizing mood! First, I put on comfortable clothes, light a nice smelly candle, put on some music and I refer to my cleaning checklist. If I have a checklist to follow it helps me stay on task and not feel so overwhelmed.

Below I am sharing with you a small checklist you can follow. I don’t tackle all of these tasks in one day. Rather I focus on one or two areas of the house and then the next time I move on to another area.

Kitchen

-       Cleanout fridge and throw out expired condiments

-       Sweep and mop behind appliance

-       Wash down inside and outside cupboards

-       Clean out pantry and reorganize

Bathrooms

-       Wash bath mats

-       Reorganize medicine cabinets

-       Put toothbrush holder in the dishwashing machine

-       Replace shower curtain liner

Whole House

-       Wash walls where needed

-       Wash baseboards

-       Dust blinds and ceiling fans

-       Vacuum and shake out area rugs

-       Wash windowsills and windows

Office

-       -Go through yours desk drawers and toss anything you don’t need

-       If you don’t have one, create a filing system to keep you organized

-       Go through your accumulated mail and shred what you don’t need

Closets

-       Go through closets in the house and create a donate pile

-       Organize closets

-       Sweep, mop or vacuum bottom of closets

I hope by using this small checklist it helps and gets you to feeling more organized and refreshed!
