A good way to do that is to plan your Spring cleaning checklist before you start. Today’s post is full of helpful tips to help you accomplish the most efficient Spring cleaning yet!

Here are our best Spring cleaning tips & hacks to get you started on your own Spring cleaning checklist:

• Make sure you are all stocked up on your favorite cleaning products and tools. If you need some recommendations, check out our post on 12 Must-Have Tools for Spring Cleaning. You’re sure to find something you need!
• Don’t forget the extra large trash bags for getting rid of stuff you don’t need or plan to donate.
• Plan your meals for the week of Spring cleaning ahead of time. If you’re like me, the last thing you want to do is cook after a day of cleaning. Freezer meals are a great idea!
• Decide on a cleaning schedule and write it down. Keep it handy on a clipboard so you can check things off as you accomplish them. This is a great visual reminder of everything you’ve accomplished and helps you keep going.

Need help with your Spring cleaning schedule? Here are some good ideas:

• Break everything down into days. For example, day 1 is for cleaning baseboards and windows throughout your home. Day 2 is for washing curtains, bedding {including quilts}, and flipping the mattresses. On day 3, focus all your efforts on the kitchen. Bathrooms are the star of day 4. Day 5 is devoted to the office and the playroom. Vacuum the entire house. On day 6, clean carpeting, then change all the smoke detector batteries.
• Leave yourself a day to rest and take a breather. Everyone deserves that!
• Don’t forget to plan time for “extra” chores. These include such tasks as cleaning out your car, bringing out your warm weather clothes, and packing away the winter wardrobe.
