(If you’re new here, you might want to grab March’s FREE cleaning calendar too – you’ll see a lot of the spring cleaning tasks in the rotating cleaning section.) It’s divided up into 3 sections – do one section or all three – any way you look at it you’re making progress and getting your home ready to welcome spring. Print it out and put it somewhere where you’ll see it and be reminded of your list and you can work on it when it works for you. If you want to follow along and get some spring cleaning done around your home too, start with this FREE Spring Cleaning Checklist. This year I’ll be doing the majority of my spring cleaning in March and finishing up in Mid-April. Why? I like to get it out of the way early so when the weather gets nice (we live in the midwest, so it takes a while) we can head outside and enjoy the much-awaited spring weather. yippee.I’m a big fan of spring cleaning in March. (yup, we’re getting snow three more times this week. I’ll be back with a few favorite cleaning tips to correspond with the tasks on the calendar, but until then, print out the Spring Cleaning Calendar so you’re ready for whenever spring hits your area! Probably June, if you’re in Philly. Need Clever Cleaning Tips? I’ve been pinning the best ones to my Cleaning Tips Pinterest Board.
#DALARAN SPRING CLEANING ZIP#
I grouped tasks by area so you can zip from one cleaning job to another, or at the very least keep the mess contained to one area as you worked through it. I have two weeks set aside for cleaning those specific areas, so you’re covered. Suffice it to say, they’re active areas with lots of messes. Target Zones: Let’s face it– the dirtiest areas of my home are the kitchen and the bathrooms. You’ll notice the calendar starts at the top (ceiling fans and light fixtures) and works it’s way downward until you reach the baseboards and carpet. That way, the dust falls downward and you aren’t re-cleaning the same area a second time. Can you tell I’m frazzled? Or are you just jealous of my crazy facial expressions? Anywho, here’s a great tip for cleaning: In case you don’t know the story, I couldn’t find the link to get on the hangout until literally the moment it went on air. Top-Down Cleaning: I mentioned this method in my OMG-I-almost-blew-it Spring Cleaning Hangout with Hometalk last year.
There’s a very good reason why I need the extra help, and if you buy me a few mojitos over dinner one night I’ll probably tell you. I can’t write this post and not admit that I have people come to clean my home once a month (BEST MONEY SPENT EVER) but I do keep up a regular cleaning routine on top of that– vacuuming, toilets, counters, dishes, laundry, floors, tubs, etc. It’s meant to piggyback on your normal cleaning tasks, so keep up your normal cleaning routine and add these tasks on top. You can spring clean in March or May or July, start on the first of the month or the 19th or the 28th– it’ll still work for you. You can start it on the first of the month if you want, but it’s formatted to be a 31-day plan so you can really start whenever you wish.
If they don’t apply to you because your home is already sparkling in that particular area, just cross it off (lucky you…) or you can stretch a task several days if needed. While each task is on a different day, if you have a bunch of free time then do several in one day. It’s organized in a specific arrangement (see below) but don’t feel as if you need to follow it by any means. Print the Free Printable Spring Cleaning Calendar And if you work your way through the tasks, your home really will be cleaned top to bottom in just 31 days. This is more than random cleaning tasks written on a calendar. With spring around the corner (somewhere it’s around the corner, just apparently not here…) I realized we could shake it up a bit and instead of focusing on organizing we’d get our homes so fresh and so clean this March!Īnd yes, that IS my second Outkast reference on my blog this past week. It seems many of you liked the January and February printable organizing calendars because I got lots ‘o requests for a March version.
