Before you dive into the list, I want to talk about something you may or may not already have a handle on and that’s being able to keep your home clean without spending all your time cleaning or energy stressing over when you *might* clean. If you don’t know when to clean your house or don’t have any routines in place, here are 2 places to go for more help:

1. Read about the fail-proof cleaning routine for working moms (but seriously, it’s for all humans). This will give you an idea as to exactly what chores you should be prioritizing, and what a totally doable cleaning routine actually looks like. Not to mention, you can grab the free cleaning routine template with this one.
2. Check out The Clean Cure Kit & Caboodle where I show you a garden variety of cleaning plan styles so you can clean your home in a way that works with your personality and schedule. But I’ll help you with wayyy more than that. You’ll also get the weekly step-by-step plan you need to follow to feel more organized, energized and finally get your home life under control for good in just 7-days.

Your House Cleaning Checklist Decoded

I added one clever little thing to make keeping your house clean even easier! While your clening checklist is broken down room-by-room, I added hints to help you know what type of cleaning each task needs! You know like whether something just needs just a quick wipe-off versus items that really need some elbow grease – big difference!

The Typical Spring Cleaning Tasks

Before we jump into the full house cleaning checklist, the cleaning tasks in this section are what you can consider typical spring cleaning tasks. You’ll need to do them in every room from the kitchen to the bedroom at some point.

But there’s a catch! You should spring clean your house in a way that makes sense to you! Some people want to spring clean their house in one day while others want to do a little each month so that they don’t have to do an epic cleaning. However you approach it, the tasks are the same and here they are…
