I love the checklist. Great way to stay on track. I love cleaning out and organizing outdoor spaces in the Spring because I'm so eager to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather. My biggest challenge is dealing with the pollen in Spring. !. the clean-up seems endless. 2. I'm allergic so I pay for my time outside. This year I'm going to try wearing a mask. I think it will help my allergies.

Cleaning is a funny thing. Some people hate it, feeling like it is too much work. Some people love it because you can see instant results, a shiny floor, windows or furniture. Some people find it irritating to have to do all the work themselves and others find it calming to not have to think or concentrate to get the job done. The trick is to use the plan that works best for you. I do a little at a time and stay on top of it instead of doing a big cleaning once or twice a year.

This post just makes me want to hire a maid! Luckily, I don't have the vast majority of spaces you describe (and none of the outdoor ones), but now my ceiling fan is calling me...as is that microfiber mop!

What great lists and suggestions to get our homes spring-ready! I am actually looking forward to doing some deeper cleaning, especially outside. I'll be bringing out the power washer soon. It's so much fun to use. And on a hot day, what could be better than playing with water while cleaning!

Oof. When I look at that list it can feel a bit overwhelming. I think the secret sauce is to follow your challenge and do a little bit each day.
My grill is in such sad shape I think it may be time to just start over LOL!

These are fabulous articles with lots of great tips. I particularly like your checklists. I am a fan of being able to cross something off a list. It helps me know what to do now and what to do next.

We are very tidy and have cleaners come in on a regular basis, so I must confess that I haven't really thought about spring cleaning in a very long time. You've not only inspired me to look at areas that probably need a more thorough cleaning, but provided tips and a framework - thank you, Sabrina!
