Spring cleaning doesn’t happen just in one weekend. Well, it can but, boy, will you be exhausted after you are done. I like to do these tasks over several weekends or even a bit each day. Doing these jobs a part of the day for the next 30 days or longer will help manage the time more efficiently. You do not need to do these tasks in this exact order. The list below can be made when the weather or temperature is appropriate to do the task. Be patient and work through the 30 days to spring cleaning tasks and you will get them done. Here we go:

I really like your tips and I will definitely use some of them when making my spring deep cleaning checklist! Thanks for sharing!
I love your checklist! 30 days is a good amount of time to reasonably get these tasks done. I am sharing this with my followers.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting/sharing, Nancy!
I love lists, and your checklist makes spring cleaning a bit less daunting. It’s inspiring to consider the seasonal things that we can do to prepare for the new season. It’s one of my favorite times of the year, not because of the cleaning part, but because of the warm air and return of color to the landscape.
I love the checklist, although it does make me feel overwhelmed about spring coming. Thanks for the prod to get out there and take care of things.
It is overwhelming the number of tasks that need completing to get ready for summer. I printed out this list and have it here to give me direction on what I need to do.
I have to admit that I haven’t taken down most of my window coverings and cleaned them in many years. This list is making me feel like i need to get myself in gear! I was thinking yesterday that my car really needs a deep clean… it gets very heavy use. It isn’t cluttered, but it is kind of dirty. I recently did my own closet, washed every surface, and it does feel really great!
I printed out this checklist to remind me what I need to do. It’s better than having to create my own list each year. =)
We were planning to clean our windows soon, after such a long winter, thank you for the reminder. We just had all our eave troughs and downspouts replaced, so this is perfect time to do that.
This is a great checklist! I will be printing it. I really started in this weekend. We have had such beautiful weather I started outside though. I figure there will be some more rainy and snowy days I can work inside. 🙂
Great checklist! I bet some of those tasks could be done on the same day, if someone wanted to reward themselves by taking the next day off.
