Spring Cleaning Checklists and Tips

Does anyone have spring cleaning on the to do list? I want to share some of my favorite spring cleaning checklists with you and a few of my favorite cleaning tips and tools.

First off, if you hate the thought of spring cleaning and how overwhelming that sounds, then break it down into spring cleaning baby steps. Start with one room and make it small like the entry way. Quickly, you will have a room cleaned from top to bottom and feel motivated to move on. I suggest never starting with the kitchen if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Second, you have to have the right tools. I love those thick pre-folded cloth baby diapers for cleaning. They do not leave lint at all and work great on glass and window as well as for dust rags. Use my homemade frugal cleaner. Can't beat it for all purpose hard surface cleaner.

Okay, onto some of my favorite spring cleaning checklists from online:

1. I love this one from Real Simple. It goes room to room with specific spring clean tips.

2. This pdf from Martha Stewart is cool cause it goes through the whole house and you can download the pdf to your computer to use every year.

3. And finally this one from I Dream of Clean is the most thorough best spring cleaning checklist.
Organized by room and with checklists you can print, is my favorite spring cleaning tips site.

Sharing with some of these parties.
