Who is ready for spring? I know I am! When the weather starts to get nicer and we start having longer days I get spring fever like crazy. My spring fever includes an huge urge to clean the entire house.

Here are my top 20 spring cleaning to do’s.

1. With so many tasks to complete its easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed. Sit down and make a plan with everything you need to complete. I suggest spreading it out with one or two tasks a day so you’re not rushing and doing a good quality clean.
2. Washing walls is a must on my spring cleaning list. I wipe down all baseboards and cold air vents when washing the walls as well. I love using my telescopic handled mop and warm water.
3. Cleaning windows inside and out. When cleaning the windows, I also clean the blinds, screens, window frame and curtains.
4. Dust light fixtures and lightbulbs. Take any removable parts off and wipe down as well as unscrew light bulbs and dust them off. 
5. Clean out the fridge. Remove all items and wipe down the fridge. Wash out the drawers also if need be.
6. Vacuum your entire house, including the area behind your furniture and along the baseboards.
7. Steam clean carpets and area rugs. Make sure you save this one for a warm day so you can open your windows and have the carpet dry quicker.
8. Clean your cabinets inside and out. Remove all items and thoroughly wipe down. I personally use warm water and dish soap to clean my cupboards. 
9. Organize your closets. This includes vacuuming or washing the floors, wiping down the walls, shelving and discarding of items you no longer need or want. 
10. Remove all books from your bookshelf. Dust and replace books in an orderly fashion.
11. If you have wood floors, spring is the perfect opportunity to treat and care for your floors to keep them in tip top shape.
12. Wipe down all door knobs and handles on cabinets.
13. Wipe down all doors inside and out as well as moulding around the doors.
14. Rotate and flip your mattress to extend its lifespan. While you’re working on the bed, clean the mattress as well as wash the bed skirt for a totally clean bedroom.
15. Make sure you work top to bottom when cleaning. That way any crumbs, dust, etc that fall to the floor will get cleaned up at the end.
