I read somewhere that “ happiness is a place between too little and too much” and I couldn’t agree more. As a matter of fact, that saying can be applied to many aspects of life including your home organization.
It is spring and many of us get in the Spring cleaning mode and try to get a handle on the home and declutter and organize our homes and living spaces.
Clutter can cause stress
It is a fact that a cluttered space can increase stress and affect productivity. Walking into a cluttered home can decrease your stamina.
Spring is the perfect time to clean and organize
Why? Days are warmer and longer but not as hot as they will be during the summer. Therefore, we are more inclined to engage in physical activities and a much rewarding one is cleaning decluttering our home.
Divide and conquer
In order to effectively make a cleaning plan that would actually work without making you feel overwhelmed, make a list of the things you really use, the things you can do without, and those things you love.
Chose a room and stick to it
When you start jumping from room to room, you get sidetracked and chances are no room will get done. Decide where do you want to start with your cleaning and declutter project, and do not move on to the next room until you are completely satisfied with the results.
Lists are very helpful
Make a list of each room and what areas need to be organized, cleaned or decluttered in each room. You will be surprised how often we neglect certain areas of the house because we don’t even think about it.
Living Room:
• Board games
• Electronics
• DVD’s
• Junk drawers
• Books and magazines
Bedroom:
• Linens
• Accessories
• Underwear drawers
• Nightstands
• Closets
• Bedroom drawers
• Under the bed and dressers
Bathroom:
– Medicine drawers
• Hair products
• Body products
• Makeup and beauty products
• Bathroom drawers
Kid’s Room:
– Kid’s toys (only keep the toys that the kids really play with and donate all the toys that they have outgrown).
• Kid’s closet- This is the perfect time to get rid of the winter clothes and all the clothes that do not fit anymore then make room for Spring and Summer clothing.
Kitchen:
• Kitchen drawers
• Pantry
• Counters
• Pans and pots
• Fridge and freezer
Office:
• Desk
– Paperwork
• Files and emails
• Mail
• Receipts
Let’s not forget the laundry room, the car, and the arts and crafts supplies for those with a creative side.
Make sure you have all you need
Before you start any cleaning project, make sure you have all the cleaning products and supplies you need to tackle your project.
Scratch items off your list as you complete it and move to the next room or area when you are done.
Home updates?
This is also a great time for any small or not so small home improvement projects that you might have been putting off.
Small updates can make your everyday life easier and can be easier than you might imagine… Add elements that would make your home smarter and more efficient like a touch activated faucet from Delta, that allows you to use the faucet by touching it anywhere and use the back of your hand, arm or your elbows…No more cross-contamination in the kitchen!

I usually do a deeper spring clean every year. I like to wipe my doors and walls down as much as possible, clean the carpets, and declutter my closets and house in general. My tip is take it one day at a time and don’t get overwhelmed.
I do Spring Clean but I dont only do it in the Spring. I do it often. My advice would be, don’t throw everything out or even give it to a charity, keep it if you have a place or a use for it. I have ended up having to re-purchase things because I threw them out 🙁
I hate spring cleaning and I dread it so much! It is so worth it though to start fresh and have a nice, clean house.
We usually have this great “Cleaning” every season — Spring, Summer etc. To change curtains, really deep clean the house inside and outside. As for the tips– don’t do it in one day, for me it’s usually 2-3 days, so I wouldn’t be really tired at the end
We do a spring and a fall cleaning each year. Spring allows the fresh to come in after the winter closed up time. The Fall is needed to get rid of everything that tracks in and time to hunker down for winter. Our tip is to put away the past seasons clothes and items no longer needed for this season.
I do, do spring cleaning. I try to organize drawers and get rid of things we no longer are using. I go room by room, so it’s not too overwhelming.
typically i do a spring cleaning every year. Wiping walls, baseboards, organizing and getting rid of stuff we don’t use or need.
I love to clean at least once a season and share all of the goodies with family. It’s always a good idea to clean! Thank you for the great offer!!
I do spring cleaning with help from the family. My best tip is to break it up, tackle one or two rooms per weekend.
To be completely honest, my Husband does the Spring Cleaning!
He is a whirlwind and has immaculate tendencies. Everything looks amazing after he is done!
If we left it up to me, I’m afraid it doesn’t look like anything has been done, lol!
I love spring cleaning! Whenever I get rid of stuff I don’t use or need, I feel like I can breathe! Clean day by day so you won’t tired yourself out. Get help if you can!
No real big spring cleaning routines I just wait for a day when I’m “in the mood” and try and knock out a full deep clean then.
I agree with Darlene in that I have daily/weekly cleaning routines with bigger tasks for when I can allocate time to perform them. For example, today is a pretty day outside so I’m going to tackle the garage. I’m saving the basement for a rainy day. Those two spots aren’t very well organized because they served as the catch all for when I moved here 6 months ago.

I’ve already started spring cleaning. You realize how much stuff you have when you go through closets and say to yourself.. huh.. that’s where that went.
My cleaning tip would be to use all natural products and just do one room at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Yes, I do spring cleaning every year. My tip is to donate anything that you haven’t used in the past year. This helps reduce clutter a lot.
I did some of mine already. Took dishes out of kitchen cupboards & wiped off shelves, re-arranged dishes etc.
We do spring cleaning. We clean the garage and get rid of things that we’ve accumulated it.
Yes, I do spring cleaning but only a little at a time. That way I don’t get so overwhelmed with it all.
We dont often do Spring Cleaning. But this year it was really cold here so we are ready to spring clean.
I do spring cleaning all year long! My tip is to make lists and start small.
I try to clean weekly throughout the year but in the spring I do deep cleaning. My tip is to clean your fridge, including underneath the fridge and behind, and move the stove out to clean the floor. A lot of food particles accumulate there and can attract bugs. I also recommend making your own soap/cleaning solution using vinegar.
Yes i do spring cleaning there is to much dust here in texas not to clean seasonaling. My tip is wash curtains that way you will get every thing clean then do windows i use windox and then old newspaper well new newspaper actually. While your in the living room move the furniture vaccum then dust your items and then go to the next room like the bedroom or so farth. This is just what i do i go through batches in the clothes section cause id be like no way so i cut it into pieces to make it less timeful anyways i put what we have out grown in a pile and by time im done its huge like 2 or three bags full i donate them but i throw them in the laundry room and sometimes i have to wash them just take your time your cleaning anyways i keep them till i go to town so my tip after writing this is use whatever you want to clean with i like bleach so i use that on every thing smells so clean after im done i do the doors the light switches the walls if needed espically where people love to lounge against and then rest hun i know its ok so lets keep thinking tips ummm i sometimes cant get the grout clean so i ripp it off and i put some new plastic stuff its in a tube and its not grout i forgot what its called just clean … anyways i hope that helps someone o and when i get through i usually light a candle or a diffuser smells nice when you come back in to relax
Cleaning is done all throughout the year – whenever it needs to be done. Tip is to donate when you can; one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. There are always those in need.
I typically do spring cleaning every year. My tip is to go room to room instead of tackling the entire house at once.
We usually do our spring cleaning in March. We like to do it early so that we can do things on the weekends when the weather gets nicer. We don’t like it, but it needs to be done!
My tip would be to just do it and allow yourself a reward for doing a deep clean. That’s how I motivate myself.
I do a little bit of spring cleaning. I don’t clean the whole house top to bottom, although I’d love to be able to. I do clean all the windows and curtains. I also try to move some furniture that usually never gets moved and sweep and/or mop underneath. We get a lot of dust here.
I like to plan a little bit in advance. Everyone gets a few chores to do and hopefully we get it all done in one weekend!
I love Spring cleaning and enjoy donating unwanted items to a local charity. I use biodegradable products such as vinegar to do my cleaning.
I make my spring cleaning list using old fashioned recipe cards. I put every chore on a separate card. This way, I can do small or larger tasks depending on the time I have. It also gives a sense of accomplishment when I can rip up a card because I finished the task. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity!
I do my spring cleaning a little at a time. It takes longer but it’s not so exhausting.
I do do spring cleaning. I start at one corner of the house and just go all around until I am done. Wish I had the energy to do it in one day but not anymore
A Power Washer is the best way to clean the outside of your house.
I do not usually do spring cleaning;. I’m not a big fan of cleaning, but when I do it always helps me to turn up great music. My rule is that I cannot stop cleaning until the playlist is over. I can usually get it all done.
I love spring cleaning. I clean every room from top to bottom. This is also a good time to clear out closets.
I spring clean before our kids get out of school for the summer, going through closets and toy boxes and donating things they have outgrown don’t play with anymore. I then tidy up the house every room is cleaned dusted mopped and windows washed. It saves time so when they are out we can enjoy summer with less housework involved.
Yes I always do spring cleaning and my best tip is to donate what you don’t use. I also clean all the windows and carpets.
My tip is focus focus focus! Its easy to get distracted
We do usually do a spring cleaning day as a family. We all work together in a room while cleaning the windows and moving furniture around and really getting into it. I like to keep wipes handy for an easy clean up. Thank you for the chance!
I almost never do spring cleaning. We live in Texas, so spring isn’t too much different weather wise. I simply just keep the house clean all year round. We almost never deep clean, but our kids are probably healthier for it!
I always try to do some serious Spring cleaning and it’s gone well this year. I hosted my book club last week and having all those ladies over really motivated me to clean up my living room. I ran with that motivation and cleaned my kitchen and bathroom too. My bedroom still needs some Spring cleaning but I feel confident that I will get it done!
I typically do spring cleaning every year. My tip is to go slow and to have a plan.
I don’t really do Spring cleaning but I do Spring purging. I try to get at least a trunk load of stuff to donate every Spring. My best tip is to keep up with cleaning monthly so that things aren’t totally piled up for Spring.
My tip is a year round one that works great for me. I DO one load of laundry every single day 7 days a week. It makes it much easier to manage and handle only 1 simple load. This way everything stays flowing well and no one ever runs out of clothes. One a day is the way to go!
This would make life easier! I’m pregnant again this spring, ..it’s always spring. I’m nesting, so it means re organizing everything! Deep cleaning, and buying a few new things to keep me motivated!
I use all natural cleaning products. My tip would be to focus on one room and clean It throughly before moving on to another room.
I try to call my deep cleaning a “Spring cleaning” – but it goes on all year long. WIth so many boys that struggle to do a good job picking up after themselves, I am always going behind them to clean it the way I want it to be….CLEAN. Thus prize would be great as I have a 27 year old leaky faucet and haven’t saved for a new one that I would appreciate having to make my life easier.
I don’t do a Spring cleaning, more just whenever I’m in the mood and have time I’ll do a deep clean of whatever room is bugging me… no tips other than knowing how good it will feel and look when it’s done is a good motivator to get started.
Spring cleaning is so necessary. I clean all the places I don’t get to the rest of the year, mostly the fridge and all the shelves and drawers in it!
My wife usually does most of our spring cleaning, but i help her as much as i can. cleaning the windows is one of my jobs. to make the job easier and to tell which side of the window is still dirty i was up and down on the outside windows and side to side on the inside window. when i see streaks i can automatically tell whether they are on the inside or outside depending on which way the streaks are going, so i know which side needs more cleaning.
I do spring cleaning all year LOL. I recommend a carpet cleaner, some Clorox and a lot of energy. A sunshiny day helps as well.
I spring clean each year my tip is do one room at a time. I always start with my bedroom and go through closets and drawers and donate any items i no longer wear
i hate spring cleaning. but it’s okay when you hae help and great products
We always do spring cleaning no great tips though
I do a deep clean every season, I keep myself on track with lists and fabulous music! The crosswave has seriously been a lifesaver!
Try to look up DYI recipes for cleaning around the house. Often find many with simple ingredients such as vinegar or epsom salts that can be made much cheaper and often just as or even more effective.
Yes, we spring clean… we use to clean one room at a time, now a days I try to do a project at a time like the windows, pantry, clothes closet
I start by opening all the windows for fresh air. I then shampoo all the carpets. Floors are then washed and waxed, I finish by completely clening the bathroos
I don’t normally do spring cleaning. I just did it this year because I had a houseguest.
I do some spring cleaning around the house. It seems like I’m always cleaning anyway I also find the holidays more so.
I have been trying to do some spring cleaning. I just keep doing more and more. The walls need more work, the baseboards, I need to move furniture and get behind it but I’m getting it done. Thank you so much!
I spring clean every year! I like to focus on one room at a time to make things easier.
I try to spring clean, but now that I work and am in school it’s difficult. I now commit an hour every 3 to 5 days a week to some spring cleaning task. This piecemeal approach is the only way to get anything done now.
I usually do spring cleaning and make sure I don’t take on too much at a time. I always need to start with one room only and work my way toward the other rooms.
Yes, I always do spring cleaning. My tips are to make a list of tasks, then get all supplies in a caddy so that you can carry them from room to room. I also try to do windows one day, blinds another, etc, and break it into projects so I don’t get overwhelmed.
I do major spring cleaning every single year. My best tip is to donate what you do not use. I also like to clean all the windows and carpets this time of year.
I feel like I clean all the time! Spring cleaning includes washing the patio furniture, all of the curtains and I move every single piece of furniture in my house to clean baseboards and vacuum underneath.
Spring cleaning helps me feel ready for the nice weather: and all the visitors and house guests that entails up in the Hudson Valley! My biggest challenge is always wanting to do it, so my biggest hint is to wait until that inspiration hits me, put on some upbeat music mixes, and then block out the rest of the world while I dance and clean away 🙂
Yes, I do Spring cleaning as it helps with the windows being down all winter. My biggest challenge is saying I’m going to do it on a certain day and then ends up not doing it.
I do a spring cleaning but make it last a month. Once a week I pick a room (kitchen,living room, bathroom, bedroom) and do a thorough cleaning. This way I am not overhwlemed
I spring clean, I summer clean, and Fall clean and winter clean. I enjoy having a clean house. I think where you live you should be proud of.
I am purging clothes that haven’t been worn in a year.
I do spring cleaning little bit of a time so I don’t burn myself out. I like to donate old clothing and toys or maybe have yard sales.
Now that I am older, I have definitely come to realize that clutter drives me insane and does, in fact, create a lot of stress. I always try to work my way through the house. I try to do each room and once completed, move on to the next rooms. I try and donate a good bit of unused items that are able to be donated and that helps clear a lot of space and DE clutter.. which is such a great feeling!
I love to do a deep spring cleaning. I normally make a list and do the things that must be done that day first. Then I tackle the things I hate doing, such as baseboards. Ugghh, those are the worst. I like to clean out the closets and make donation piles. I rarely have things that need to be thrown out all together, unless it is a kids toy that has broken and is not repairable.
I like to make spring cleaning into a game. I pick one area (like a drawer or closet) a day and choose a number (like 5-20) of items to get rid of. Say it’s a drawer, I find 5 items to get rid of either in trash, recycle or donation. If it’s a closet, I make the number higher. At the end of the week, my goal is 100 items and if i meet my goal, I get myself a treat!
Yes, Spring cleaning is a must especially after a winter couped up! I enlist all family members and space it out over the course of a few weekends so we aren’t overwhelmed.
Yes I do spring cleaning. My tip is do one room at a time. Start from top to bottom
I do spring clean every year. My best advice is to take it one room at a time. try not to have to many projects going at one time. I will just frustrate you and you will give up.
I do my spring cleaning, I do one room at a time and go from top to bottom.
I dont usually do Spring Cleaning because I try and keep up year round. I do however try and purge out any clothing and items I might want to donate starting in March or April from my closets. I really hate feeling a massive cleaning is needed so I do try and keep up with the cleaning routine all throughout the year! Don’t let things accumulate.
I do not do a formal spring cleaning, but try to deep clean a room each month. That keeps the house (and closets, drawers, etc) in good condition without overwhelming me at any particular time. I must admit though, I would rather have someone else do it!
Do you usually do Spring Cleaning? Yes, while the weather is still cool, so I can open the windows. Do you have any tips? My mother gave me a tip years ago to clean pleated lamp shades. Use a clean small paint brush to get into the grooves of the pleats.
my spring cleaning is more often than not a winter or fall cleaning, it just gets so hot in the spring and summer that I never feel like cleaning. I do try to actively keep everything organized but then I get lazy =p.
I usually don’t do spring cleaning. BUT this year is different. We’re ALMOST through building our house. My spring cleaning will be packing and moving down the road to our new house. THEN I’ll have to clean the house we’re moving from!
Yes I always do spring cleaning and go through all our clothes that we can do without and clothes that no longer fit. Group items into sell items, donate items and items that are just thrown away.
I do Spring cleaning, butI don’t know any great tips. I’m probably not very good at it, lol.
Now that we have downsized we don’t need a big annual clean. We try to keep up day-to-day. We do like to steam clean the carpets once a year in the spring.
My suggestion while spring cleaning is to clean room by room. It goes smoother that way and allows you to focus on that one room really good!!! And make sure you organize everything!!
Have a timer like 20 mins each room so it dosn’t take a long time for each room. Also do a 30 day monthly cleaning challenge each day clean something different.
For many, many years I did a good spring cleaning but now that I am older, I don’t. The knees just won’t let me.
My spring cleaning consists of cleaning out closets and drawers. Removing clothing that hasn’t been worn in awhile.
Cleaning corners, doors and walls could be a job for the kids.
I’m more of a saver then a organizer. But I am learning to let go and keep things clean. I might downsize so better to make it easier on myself. I have been using baskets and storage units to keep up with my stuff. I think real hard if I am really not going to use a item or is there another person that can use it!
i’m not much of a spring cleaner, honestly. I usually hire my cleaning out, but I do love to organize!
Cleaning is alot of fun. We clean the garage and get rid of things that we’ve accumulated it.
Yes, I do spring cleaning. I don’t really have any tips. I never seem to get everything done that I would like to do, even with a to-do list.
I’m definitely a list maker, so I recommend making those. Also, set a timer and work on a specific task for that time. Then move on.
I don’t make it a point to spring clean. I have to be in the right mood to do a deep cleaning/purging otherwise I get frustrated and don’t finish! When I do get that cleaning urge, I take it one drawer or room at a time so I don’t get overwhelmed!
I do a spring cleaning. I usually sort things into 3 boxes. Keep, giveaway, and throw away. It’s a good way to purge and clean out stuff.
I don’t Spring clean anymore. My health limits me from doing this, as much as I want to.
Yes I spring clean every year and the only tip I have is start at the top and work down. Get those cobwebs down close to the ceiling first or they will fall on your nice clean floor.
I always spring clean and spend about 2 weeks doing it. The first week, I got through every drawer and closet. Then from there, I go onto to cleaning all the windows, then I use the vacume hose to vacume all the basebouards and the corners in the ceilings of the rooms. From there, I go on and clean all the bathrooms. Then onto all the rooms dusting and etc. Last mopping and shampooing carpets.
I have a 3 day spring cleaning ritual…. and I go by room, top to bottom. I even dust my ceilings and go down from there. Cleaning curtain treatments, blinds, and then molding, etc.
I do, but I don’t have any tips. Soon as spring rolls around I get “in this mood.” Lol
I don’t really clean on a schedule. It’s whenever I have a free day and get tired of dust that I get to cleaning. I’m also a mad cleaner but I don’t get mad easy since I’m pretty chilled. So will someone please insult me so this floor can get mopped already!!
I usually do spring cleaning. I set an agenda for the day and make sure I accomplish that agenda or even more than is on the agenda.
I start my spring cleaning by organizing my things. I make piles of what I am going to keep, sale, give away, and throw away. I immediately put throw away and give away items in bags.
I do spring cleaning every year to get rid of things I never use and to deep clean my home. My biggest tip is to take it room by room because doing the whole house in a day is just too much. Spring cleaning is a wonderful way to donate items as well
I have to Spring clean or I will go crazy. Usually I take one day (when everyone is gone) and go through my house, top to bottom, and get it clean.
I do spring cleaning, we live on a dirt road and until they spread oil and stone in the late spring there is dust everywhere.
Each year I do Spring cleaning, We are a family of 5 and things can get out of hand really quick. I take the the time to organize, I put all our winter clothes in totes. It gives us tons of space for our spring/summer clothes, This helps me a lot. Spring Cleaning is a MUST in out family.
Get all the kids to help. Make it a family event.
Every spring I do a deep clean! I get rid of stuff I don’t use! I clean the garage, I power wash the house, and steam clean the carpets!
I clean up my kitchen pretty mu h daily to keep it clean
My tip would be to do a small space at a time. Otherwise I get overwhelmed!
I do spring cleaning every year. I tackle one room at a time. When all rooms have been cleaned it is time for a garage sale.
I do a few things for spring cleaning. I clean the garage so I can dig out my gardening equipment, etc. I also like to give my windows and screens a good cleaning. Almost everything else, I do year round. It keeps things easier to maintain this way.
I don’t usually ‘spring clean’ per se. I deep clean the house in early summer and just before the holidays, mostly because this is when we’re off since we work in the public school system!
I do spring cleaning and like to be able to organize and clean.
My wife and I clean together for a living so we are cleaning all the time we also clean our home all the time we start room by room complete and move onto the next
my wife and I clean houses together for a living so we are cleaning everyday for our home deep cleaning we start in one room and from top to bottom and complete and move on it’s the best way
i like to do one room at a time and get it really clean. i start with one end of the house and work my way through the rooms.
I am the worst spring cleaner. Usually I try to throw out kids toys missing pieceses at the very least.
I do spring clean every year. One tip I have is to sprinkle either carpet deodorizer powder or baking soda on your mattresses. Let it sit for about half an hour then vacuum it up. It really helps to freshen up the room.
When doing spring cleaning do one room at a time
My spring cleaning tips are to take the clutter and donate it via a pickup from a local charity that does curbside pickup. It gets a ton of space cleared just by doing that. Also, spread it out over a few weekends so that it doesn’t take over all of your free time. It can get so frustrating to use every waking minute cleaning. It shouldn’t be that way!
I usually do one room per day if i’m doing heavy cleaning and de-cluttering. It’s not overwhelming that way.
I always do spring cleaning. It includes washing all the curtains, which I hate hanging back up. I also wash walls , but that takes up alot of time.
spring cleaning can be done any time of the year but I like to do it when the weather gets warm and I can open the windows and freshen out the house
I usually do not do Spring cleaning….I do Fall cleaning. I live in the desert and it is scorching during the Spring and Summer….so Fall and Winter are the best times to really dig in. 🙂 Thank you.
I do a spring cleaning every year, every closet and drawer. I go with the theory that if you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it. But I put those things in a box in the garage and hold another year just to be sure I don’t have to repurchase. The next year anything in the box goes and I start over. Keeps my condo tidy and the closets manageable
We try to do a little deep cleaning every week. That way it never seems too overwhelming.
I have a weekly schedule, and clean a little each day. Also, put away something right after you use it. Clean as you go!
I usually don’t do spring cleaning. I just clean as needed.
I actually do Spring Cleaning and Fall Cleaning. My tip is to try to keep up with clutter, so that when doing the heavy duty cleaning you don’t get bogged down by the little things.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Yes I like to Spring Clean. I would love to have everything in order. You need a list to do a great job. Do one room at a time no matter how long it takes. It will get done.
Yes I do spring cleaning like wshing windows and curtains. As for any tips I really can’t think of any.
Ugh. Spring cleaning is a necessary evil. I try to do it year round and find the best strategy is to tackle one room at a time. That way, the job is not so overwhelming!
Yes I do Spring Cleaning as well as Fall Cleaning after our very hot summers. My only tip is to enlist help if you can.
I normally don’t do “spring” cleaning. It’s just when I get in a mood and EVERYTHING needs to be cleaned right away. I separate my tasks by room so when I start the kitchen, I’ll do a few tasks there but I get bored easily so I’ll move on to another room for another task or two. It’s a bit rough because I can’t look at one room and say “It’s clean! :)” until I’m almost done.
I do a deep cleaning twice a year. Usually in the spring and fall. I also declutter the house at least once a year.
Yes I do spring cleaning I start with one room at a time
I don’t spring clean specifically. I just deep clean as I feel it is needed. But my tip is to listen to your favorite music and dance through it.
I work full time and have some issues with asthma and anemia so I don’t have the energy to do typical spring cleaning. The only was I can manage is to do a little every day. If it piles up I have to get help from extended family or pay for a housecleaning service. That has happened before when I was ill for a while and it’s amazing how much clutter accumulates in just a matter of days.
Yes I do spring cleaning,,although its not my favorite thing to do.
I try to declutter and get rid of things we don’t use, but usually I throw something in the out pile and
my husband drags it back saying we might need it!!
I do spring cleaning and try to do deep down cleaning. I carry a little cleaning tote around the house with me so that I have what I need right then and there.
Yes I do spring cleaning. I hink one of the biggest tip is do not overwhelm yourself. Tackle each chore on it’s own, get it done, do not jump from one room to another. Have a list of mus do’s and anotherof things that do not need to be done right away too.
I do spring cleaning as soon as the weather breaks. The only tips I have are geared toward motivation. I open the windows and make sure I can feel the warmth. Then I put good music on!
We do spring cleaning. The tips are great about doing one room at a time and having all the cleaning supplies you need. My wife wants it done immediately so we do it all at once.
We try to do spring cleaning and then keep it going. Mostly we focus on clutter and recycling or donating what we don’t need.
I don’t necessarily do spring cleaning, it’s pretty much a constant ongoing thing. I do I suppose once or twice a year do more cleaning than other times, which would include moving everything to get what’s lurking underneath. It feels really good, even if for a short time, to know that your home is completely clean. I try to use natural products for my cleaning also. 🙂
My tip is to give each family member a job to share I. The fun.
Yes, I do spring cleaning. I gather as I clean, and have a garage sale. Swiffer is one of my favorite time saving cleaning tools.
Yes, we do spring cleaning, inside the house and out in our yard. Inside we usually opens the windows, and dust throughout the house. We also clean all teh windows inside an out. Then we start on the yard work.
Yes, we do spring cleaning, inside the house and out in our yard. Inside we usually opens the windows, and dust throughout the house. We also clean all the windows inside an out. Then we start on the yard work.
Yes I do spring cleaning but not major cause I divide it up each month. But my best hint is that I use baby wipes, unscented, to clean so many things. I also try to put giveaway stuff in a special box and take it to goodwill or similar donation areas, about once a month.
I really need to have a spring cleaning plan I don’t have one….
I like to spring clean after the long winter, but I do it one room at a time. I’m to old to do it all at once now. lol.
Our “Spring Cleaning” usually occurs twice a year, in spring, and then again in late summer as we prepare the house for winter. The major cleaning task is having the carpets steam cleaned, the furniture cleaned where necessary, and the windows. The garage usually gets cleaned out in late summer as well !
We do Spring Cleaning. We don’t always do the cleaning in Spring though.
I definitely do Spring cleaning. My advice is to have a solid outline/plan of what you are doing when. For example, tackle the kitchen one day, and list what specifically you are going to be cleaning and in what order. This helps me not go off on some tangent and never fully finish a room because i’m distracted by dust in the living room.
We have spring and Summer cleaning. The teens are home then! I get EVERYBODY involved. I usually have to dictate who does what, and make sure breaks are included – less whining that way! We usually have take-out as a reward.
I do not do Spring Cleaning. I simply clean on a regular basis year round. My tip for cleaning would be to always keep your vacuum bag on your vacuum empty to make sure it does it’s job properly.
Yes. I always spring clean. I don’t really have tips other than putting a knee high over the end of a vacuum cleaner hose to pick up items without sucking them up.
I do spring clean every year. Sometimes twice a year. I don’t really have a tip other than to cover your vacuum hose with a knee high to keep small objects for being sucked up.
I try to clean an hour before going to bed. That way i have a timeline to meet and I can take a shower and get into bed! It helps me to get things done!
I do try to do a deep clean each spring. my best advice is to do 1 or 2 rooms at a time and work from top to bottom. I am not sure why, but I usually start with the laundry room, then move to all of the bathroom. Next I do the bedrooms , and end with the living room and kitchen.
I don’t do much spring cleaning. I just do normal cleaning…but I do have bouts of ‘clean this closet out now!’ I don’t have to have those moments during spring…
im not a big cleaner but when i am i encourage the kids to help out. and the hubby! it makes the work go so much faster!
thanks! xoxo
Set a time frame you’re comfortable with, like 6 months or a year and if you haven’t worn or used something in that time frame toss it or donate it.
I do a little bit of spring cleaning. My tip would be to pick one room a week to work on. Make a list and work through that list a little bit everyday and you’ll be done in no time!
The Delta Faucet would update my kitchen. I clean every season and Spring gets the deepest cleaning and the windows opened wide.
my spring cleaning tips would be to work on one room at a time, dont over stress yourself and save the vaccuming for last. i always vacuum last and then wipe down! thank you for the tips also!
I’m a neat freak husband says I have ocd …lol I clean every day my tip is when cleaning ceiling fan blades I use a old pillow case put over blade and then hold on blade and wipe the dust off and it falls in the pillow case not all over the floor.
Yes! We make a day of it to spring clean! Lots of coffee, garbage bags and bins! We take 1 room on at a time:)
although we all do I do the most.
top to bottom…in and out!
even paint touch up and check for leaks, screen holes. Wood rot, termites..everything.
THIS is a giveaway for me as we are smack dab in the middle of a huge total house gut job of my parents home.
This will help. Thank to you and @DeltaFaucets.
I hope.
I do spring cleaning. My tip is to make a list of what needs to be done in your spare time. This way, you can think of the smaller tasks, not just the big, noticeable things.
I try to clean throughout the year so that it doesn’t pile up on me.
I don’t wait until spring. I try to clean throughout the year.
I don’t do a dedicated spring cleaning. I get on cleaning kicks and do everything I can think of when I’m in the zone! lol.
I do Spring cleaning and usually do all of the things i don’t do on a weekly basis, such as washing the windows, framed artwork and mirrors. I wash screens, power wash the porch, walkways and patio and outdoor furniture. I like to clean carpets and rugs and curtains.
I do spring cleaning inside and out. I set aside a different chore for each day of the weekend – pressure washing the house and driveway one day and washing the windows inside and out another. There’s a great sense of accomplishment when I’m done.
Yes, we spring clean. We try to clutter one drawer a day in our house. Also we go through our kids clothes and weed out the ones that no longer fit.
I don’t normally Spring clean. I am just cleaning all year round.
My tip is to tackle one room at a time.
Thanks for the chance.
I do not find any benefit to “spring cleaning.” I clean as needed.
I do a big clean a few times a year. The biggest for me is after christmas! So much new stuff, its necessary to clear out some old things. My only tip is to make a list of what you want to accomplish before you start. Stay focused!
Yes I always do spring cleaning and get rid of clutter.
I try to do Spring cleaning but I never get as much done as I would like to. I would be great if the rest of the family helped out too.
I do some spring cleaning. I try to wash the curtains. Have some cleaned. I would only have the tip to open the windows wide and air out the house!
I have always spring cleaned. My mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother all spring cleaned. Believe me, even as a little kid, I helped. Spring cleaning in our family consists of scrubbing, painting, windows, etc. Everything gets cleaned. I remember starching doilies and ironing curtains. lol.. On doing my own home, I have found that my best bet is to make a list. If I don’t make a list, I just wonder from room to room and nothing gets accomplished. It’s a tradition for this Southern family.
I do Spring Clean my home each year. I clean from top to bottom including closets, cabinets, windows and even a fresh coat of paint on the walls if needed. I find many things while cleaning that I do not use or want so I also donate these items to help others.
I dread spring cleaning so much, but it is necessary. I usually end up with a much bigger mess than when I started, but it’s nice to finally get it over with. I try to do deep cleaning twice a year. Once in the spring and again in late fall.
Yes I organize and deep clean in the spring! My tips is start cleaning high to low!!! Always dust first.
This is my problem. I have no real system. I have subscribed to organizing and cleaning checklists and whatnot but I really need to get a system in place!
I love cleaning my house because it makes me feel fresh but I do not have time to do it often now since my baby was just born. I think I need to do a list and focus on which one needs to be done first, and do the tasks little by little 🙂
Thank you!
