Spring Cleaning Checklist

The only bad thing about the sun finally shining is that you see how much dust has settled in your house over the winter. Thought it timely to share a Spring Cleaning Checklist to do some deep cleaning (and take care of those dust bunnies!)…

Spring Cleaning Checklist

I think one of the most important things to do in Spring is to change your smoke alarm batteries (it could save your family’s lives).  Other top-of-the-list Spring cleaning to-dos are: deep clean oven and  deep clean coffee maker (I use both every single day and they get a big work out…I deep clean both once a year…Spring and Fall…to ensure they are in the best conditions possible.

We also make Spring cleaning a family activity. We turn on the music. Give every kid a “job”. And then get to it. We find it goes faster when everyone joins in (and Mommy doesn’t feel resentful doing it all by her one-some). Plus, cleaning is a life skill – so why not kids to pitch in and do their part. Their future wives/husbands/roommates will appreciate it!

I invite my son to help wipe down my Smudge-Proof kitchen (mostly because it’s his little fingers which make most of the messes!). Getting him to help in the kitchen is easy because he loves getting on the step and doing all the wiping and cleaning which he sees us biggies do every day. Yes, with him cleaning it takes longer (and there is always water spillage). But he is happy to take part…and Spring Cleaning is all about pitching in!
