Spring is in the air, and with it comes the annual tradition of spring cleaning. It’s a great time to refresh your home and get rid of any clutter or dust that has accumulated over the winter months. Personally, I get a burst of energy and motivation with the longer lighter days!
To help you get started, we’ve created a room-by-room spring cleaning checklist. This checklist will help you stay organized and ensure that you don’t miss any important areas.

- Strip the bed and wash the sheets, comforter, and pillows.

In addition to cleaning, now is an excellent time to purge unused items in good condition to local charities. If you have sheets and towels that have seen better days, Animal shelters are always in need of used sheets and towels! Shop for linens and towels that are high quality so they last longer and also look for seasonally appropriate sheet weights. I recommend Organic Cotton Percale sheets for warmer weather.
We hope this checklist helps you get your home sparkling clean this spring!
Happy cleaning!
Please note that this is just a sample checklist, and you may need to adjust it based on your specific needs.
