Spring is in the air and we’re offering up our best advice for achieving a spotless home (and mind). If you’re anything like us, you know that spring cleaning can be a daunting task. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and flustered by the idea of doing a big deep cleaning of your home.

That’s why we created the ultimate spring cleaning checklist to help you create a neat, tidy, and organized space. We’ll also share our best tips on how to keep the process as organized and manageable as possible this spring and beyond.

The tips below outline a basic six-week approach that will help you clean almost every surface (or object) in any room, leaving both you and your home feeling refreshed.

WEEK 1: OFFICE

We’ve all heard of the saying “messy bed, messy head”, well the same goes for your desk. This is your chance to recycle any unnecessary clutter.

• Dust desk and shelves
• Organize drawers
• Clean mouse and keyboard

WEEK 2: CLOSETS

Our best tip is to tackle all of your closets at once. Don’t just focus on cleaning and reorganizing, but ensure that everything has a designated place. Get intentional about creating space.

• Organize clothing
• Donate unused items
• Vacuum

WEEK 3: KITCHEN

The kitchen is a big task due to the amount of organizational tasks. Take inventory of all the items, from silverware to small appliances, and then create a plan. The great thing about this approach is that you’ll be able to decide if there’s a better way to arrange things.

• Organize fridge
• Disinfect counters/surfaces
• Clean sink and appliances

WEEK 4: LIVING ROOM

As the main space in your home, the living room needs a bit more attention. In addition to cleaning surfaces, it’s time to declutter or even rearrange the decor to give the room a refresh.

• Organize and tidy all surfaces
• Wash or change curtains
• Wipe down baseboards

WEEK 5: BEDROOM

Similar to the living room, the bedroom is probably most in need of deep cleaning and a bit of reorganization.

• Dust tables, vents, and light fixtures.
• Wash or change bedding
• Organize side tables/drawers

WEEK 6: ENTRYWAY

Now that all the main spaces in your home are clean and organized, it’s time to move on to the entryway.

• Vacuum and mop floors
• Clean or change rug
• Organize decor
