Spring is a wonderful time of renewal and awakening. This is also the perfect time for a deep clean. The change of seasons creates a great opportunity to refresh and breathe new life into your home after a dreary winter. As the temperatures start to warm up, we can open the windows to bring fresh air into our homes and finally pay attention to all the neglected nooks and crannies. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be an overwhelming burden. Creating a checklist can help you prioritize and organize your tasks. It also helps give you an idea of what to do next. If you don’t have a full day or a weekend to spring clean, try doing one small task each day. In a few weeks, your house will be looking stunning.
If you’re ready to tackle some spring cleaning projects but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve created a spring cleaning checklist to help you get organized.Jess has Tackles a cleaning project in her bathroom We were all excited to give our home a much needed deep clean after a long winter in Vermont.

closet/wardrobe
Now is a great time to go through your closet. Before switching your wardrobe from winter to spring, take stock of the items you didn’t wear in the winter. A neat trick is to switch all the hangers at the beginning of each season. When you wear an item, you can fold it back in the opposite direction. At the end of the season, you can see which items are not worn and easily make the choice to donate or sell items that are no longer worn.
Put away your winter clothes and pull out your spring/summer wardrobe, always welcome the change of seasons.

Windows
Windows is one of my favorite spring cleaning tasks. There’s something so satisfying about getting into those hard-to-reach places that have accumulated dust, bugs, and grime over the past year. It’s amazing what a clean window can do to a home. Being able to see clearly outside is a game changer on those sunny days!

During the winter, the surfaces of items such as our nightstands, coffee tables, bookshelves and dressers often collect dust. Use a microfiber duster to remove everything from the surface, then clean with a spray appropriate for the surface (wood, marble, etc.) to refresh them and leave them nice and clean.
floor
If you’re anything like me, you vacuum regularly in the winter, especially for a lab that’s a crazy shed, but come spring, a deep clean with a floor mop or steamer is much needed. Get out your mop or floor steamer and use the floor cleaner of your choice (we just love the classic white vinegar and water homemade tile cleaner- Try Clean Mama, an easy homemade solution or This is a great store-bought option) and make those floors sparkle.for hardwood floors Bona is an excellent cleaning solution.

Ceiling fans and light fixtures are often overlooked, but just because we can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist! get a duster and reach those hard-to-reach places. Clean the dust off the top of the fan and around the light fixture, you’d be surprised how much dust builds up over time.
