Have you started with your Spring Cleaning yet? Sharing this FREE Printable Spring Cleaning Challenge. It’s A 25 day challenge broken into a manageable chore a day so your entire house gets organized and clean.
SPRING CLEANING
I LOVE this time of year. There is just something about opening the windows and letting the fresh breeze blow through the house. I also love decluttering the house and making everything spic and span.
Even though the process can be a big undertaking, especially when you are in the middle of it, it is always so worth it when you are finished. Don’t you just love how you feel when your house is in order. I always feel so accomplished…plus I love checking off my “to do” items. It can be so satisfying!

Some of my favorite cleaning products I regularly use for Spring Cleaning my home include the following:

CLEANING CHECK LIST
And because I love lists and pretty printables, I created a fun Cleaning Printable to help you get your Spring Cleaning done. This cleaning list can help you get your house in tip top shape in just 25 days. Simply tackle one of the chores each day for 25 days. You don’t have to do it in the order I have listed. Choose a chore that you can do for the time you have that day. Thinking about Spring Cleaning can be pretty overwhelming, but breaking it down into a manageable chore once a day, can ensure you follow through with it!
