Spring Cleaning Checklist, Room by Room Cleaning Tasks
It’s easy to ignore the dust and dirt that build up in the winter. But when the dark clouds of winter clear and the bright sunshine starts streaming into the house in the spring, you realize just how much dust and dirt has built up over the winter.
All that dust that you never really noticed on those dark gloomy days of winter is now suddenly revealed with the bright sunshine of the springtime and it needs to be cleaned. But getting started with spring cleaning can be hard. That’s why this spring cleaning checklist can be so handy.
The spring cleaning checklist has the basic tasks for each room in your house. No need to worry about thinking about what to clean you can just go right down the checklist for each room and get your spring cleaning done.
The spring cleaning checklist has everything from the outside of your house through the entryway and all the way through the bedrooms and the bathroom. It’s just the basics you need to do to get your spring cleaning done.
I’ve included the list of tasks below but if you would like to print the spring cleaning checklist just click here or the photo below.

Other Spring Cleaning Helps,
This is such a great checklist, Shelly! We don’t really spring clean every year, but we’ve only been in this house about two years. I just like to clean every day and deep clean as needed. 🙂
Moving that often you don’t need to spring clean 🙂 We’ve been in our current house 18 years now. I always declutter and spring clean at the same time. After cleaning out my grandparents house after 50+ years of living there I realized just how much stuff can build up if you don’t keep purging along the way. It’s also a reason for me to wash down the walls, which I only do once a year. I’m always amazed at how much dirt can come off a wall when I’m spring cleaning. You wouldn’t think that much dirt would stick to them. I do spot clean them regularly too. 🙂
