Today is officially the first day of spring and it’s the perfect time to refresh your home and clear out the clutter from winter. A thorough spring cleaning not only revitalizes your space but also brings a sense of renewal and clarity. Here’s a complete checklist to help you tackle your home room by room and start the season feeling fresh and organized!

1. Declutter Before You Clean

Before diving into deep cleaning, start by decluttering your home. Donate, recycle, or discard items you no longer need.

Sort items into keep, donate, and toss piles.
Organize closets and drawers.
Store winter clothing and decor.

2. Deep Clean Every Room

Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time for a deep clean! Focus on these key areas:

Kitchen

Clean out and organize the refrigerator and pantry.
Wipe down countertops, cabinets, and appliances.
Degrease the stovetop and oven.
Sanitize the sink and replace sponges.

Living Room

Dust and polish furniture.
Wash throw blankets and pillow covers.
Vacuum and deep clean carpets or mop hard floors.
Clean windows and wipe down blinds.

Bedrooms

Rotate and flip mattresses.
Wash bedding, including pillows and comforters.
Organize and dust nightstands and dressers.
Clean under the bed and in closet corners.

Bathrooms

Scrub sinks, tubs, and toilets.
Replace old towels or bath mats if needed.
Wipe mirrors and sanitize high-touch areas.
Declutter and organize toiletries.

Home Office

Organize paperwork and shred unnecessary documents.
Wipe down desks and electronics.
Disinfect keyboards and computer screens.
Declutter cables and cords.

3. Refresh the Air & Fabrics

A fresh-smelling home can uplift your mood instantly.

Open windows to let in fresh air.
Diffuse essential oils or light a candle.
Wash curtains and vacuum upholstery.
Replace HVAC filters for cleaner air.

4. Tackle Outdoor Spaces

Don’t forget your home’s exterior!

Sweep patios and clean outdoor furniture.
Wipe down door frames and porch railings.
Check gutters and downspouts for debris.
Plant fresh flowers or refresh landscaping.

5. Maintain the Clean

To keep your home fresh year-round, implement small daily habits:

Wipe down surfaces regularly.
Do a quick declutter at the end of each day.
Stick to a weekly cleaning schedule for maintenance.

Spring cleaning is all about starting fresh and making your home a space that feels light, inviting, and stress-free. Take it one step at a time, and soon, you’ll have a beautifully refreshed space to enjoy all season long!

Have you ever had clutter sneak into your home or office and create a disastrous mess? That’s me right now. I don’t even know where all the stuff comes from. It’s like I’m a magnet for collecting stuff, and that stuff attracts more stuff, and before you know it—BOOM—there’s stuff everywhere!! 😂

But don’t worry, we can break the cycle. Here’s how to organize like a pro (or at least like someone who knows where their keys are).

1. Declutter First (Yes, That Means Letting Go)

Before you start organizing, you have to ditch the extra stuff. Ask yourself: Do I use this? Does it bring me joy? Or is it just here to mess with me? If it’s the latter, donate, recycle, or toss it before it multiplies again.

2. Use Smart Storage (A Fancy Way of Saying “Put Things in Bins”)

Pro organizers love bins, baskets, and labels. Why? Because they keep your stuff from turning into an uncontrollable avalanche. Clear containers = no more guessing what’s inside that mystery box from 2019.

3. Give Everything a Home (So It Stops Wandering Off)

If something doesn’t have a designated spot, it will find a way to spread chaos. Find a home for every item, and when you’re done using it, send it back like it’s on a mission.

4. Maximize Vertical Space (Because Floors Aren’t Storage Units)

When in doubt, go up! Shelves, wall hooks, and stackable storage keep things neat while freeing up space. Bonus: you’ll finally stop tripping over that pile of books you vowed you’re going to read.

5. Set a Daily Reset Routine (AKA, Save Future You From Stress)

Spend 10 minutes tidying up each evening. Future You will thank you when they walk into a clutter-free space instead of a scene from a home disaster movie.

The key to staying organized is consistency—plus a little humor when stuff gets out of control. Start small, build good habits, and take back your space, one decluttered drawer at a time!
