30 Days Spring Cleaning Challenge

30 Days to Spring Cleaning Your Home Challenge

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. Below we share out Spring Cleaning Challenge. 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 of spring cleaning tasks, and you will complete them. Here we go:

    Excellent reminders and by breaking it down day-by-day, it all seems so much more do-able. I'm excited to see that more than a week of tasks involve the outdoors, and I am a renter and don't have anything outdoors to do. Whoohoo, I'm ahead of schedule! 😉 But this did remind me to change my air filter and dust my ceiling fan in the living room. (Is there anything more stultifying than dusting?)

    Great reminders as the weather begins changing. So helpful that it is laid out in categories easy to pick one and get going on it. Thanks for sharing.

    What a great list! I love how you divided it into categories, which makes it less overwhelming. We've done some, but not all, of these things. The doing has been a bit more organic rather than linear. But little by little, things are happening, and it feels great. Last weekend, my husband and I tag-teamed it in the yard to clear the beds and add mulch. We still have more to do, but we got a great start. It was so satisfying and looks great too.

    Definitely NOT all in one day LOL! I have a list as well, but your list has given me a few things to add.

    One I do is "Wet and Forget" my slate to kill the accumulated green mildew. It isn't hard to do, I just need to do it when it isn't going to pour rain. I like using the container of window cleaner that hooks up to the hose. Just spray and rinse.

    I definitely have some carpets that could use some cleaning!!

      Lol, definitely not to be done all in one day. Wet and Forget is a great product, I use it for my cobblestone walkway on the side of my home, and it really does a great job as well.

    This is a great checklist, Sabrina. You've covered absolutely everything. I like the way you identify the different areas or zones on which to focus attention. That makes it some much easier. You can pick a spot to begin, work on those tasks, and then move on to the next zone.

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Diane! It's a working checklist that was developed over the years.

    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.

    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.
