Spring Cleaning Made Easy {with FREE Printable}

March is here and that means it's time to think about Spring cleaning.  Time to open up the windows, get some fresh air flowing and scrub scrub scrub!  I know...doesn't sound like too much fun so I like to get all mine done before the weather warms up too much so that I can enjoy the nice weather outside without having to worry about deep cleaning. What about you?

To make things easy and manageable, I created a checklist.  This is in addition to the daily/weekly house cleaning. Some of these things also get done weekly/monthly and some have been put on the back burner for way too long. So Spring is my chance to get in gear and get it all cleaned up!  I spread it out over a few weeks by tackling a few things each day.

• Clean inside/outside of oven
• Scrub outside of kitchen cabinets
• Organize drawers/cupboards
• Clean out junk drawers
• Scrub baseboards
• Clean window blinds
• Clean out pantry/throw away expired items
• Clean front and top of fridge
• Cleanwasher/dryer area
• Remove cobwebs
• Wipe down smudges on doors/molding
• Windex all windows and mirrors
• Dust, Dust, Dust!
• Scrub vinyl on screened-in porch and near front entrance
• Remove dead debris from flower gardens
• Sweep front and back porches
• Fully clean and sanitize all bathrooms
• Touch up/repaint walls (we have flat paint everywhere which is NOT scrubbable. This makes for very messy walls. UGH.)
• Organize areas that are out of control (garage, closets etc.)
• Donate items to Goodwill
• Sell kid's outgrown clothes to consignment store

I'm sure there are more tasks that will come up once I get started and find that there is even more mess and grime than I thought :)  When I'm done, I'm going to relax on my freshly cleaned back porch with a nice beverage.
