The first day of spring, March 20th, has come and gone. This means one thing: it’s time for spring cleaning! Let’s get your house out of hibernation – it’s time to tackle those tasks we hold off on until big cleaning events. The first step is to schedule a weekend to dedicate to this event, and make a list of what you want to accomplish.

Get the whole family involved by assigning a few age-appropriate responsibilities to the kids and letting them play family favorite music to keep you energized throughout the day. Make mealtime easy on yourself by planning for a simple lunch and take-out for dinner. Here are 10 suggestions of what to set your sights on in your own home:

1. Wash windows (inside and out)
2. Take down drapery, curtains, and blinds to clean
3. Clean out and wipe down drawers, cupboards, and bookshelves
4. Dust and clean couches and chairs
5. Dust and clean inside lamps and home decor
6. Set oven to cleaning mode and clear out refrigerator
7. Clean walls and ceilings, including ceiling fans
8. Clean artwork and framed photographs on walls
9. Clean out fireplace if has been in use throughout the winter
10. Sweep and wash all floors, clean rugs and carpets

It may be an intimidating list, but starting spring with a clean house will give you a fresh start for the warm months ahead, and allow you to remain organized in your everyday tasks. Good luck!
