How to Keep Your Home Sparkling in This Christmas

It’s hard to believe that spring is only a few days away. I hope you’re as excited as I am for sunny skies, spring fashion, and fresh, seasonal produce. And then there’s spring cleaning…

I know I might be the only one who actually gets excited at the thought of scrubbing and dusting. But even if you’re not as obsessed with organization as I am, spring cleaning doesn’t have to be scary.

One of the biggest tips I’ve learned as a lifelong neat freak is that if you keep up with routine chores on a regular basis, things will never get out of hand. So to make things easy, I decided to put together a simple cleaning chart designed to keep you accountable on a daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal basis.

If you can spend just a few minutes each day tidying up, you will never have to clean like crazy just before guests come over or when you’ve finally reached your limit.

Daily CleaningMake Your Bed

Do Any dishes left to the sink

Hang up any clothes left around your room

Take out of the garbage if it’s full

Wipe up spills if they’re fresh

Weekly CleaningVacuum, Sweep or Mop

Change Towels & Sheets, Do Laundry

Disinfect Doorknobs, Phones, remotes, Keyboards, etc.

Wipe down Kitchen & Bathroom counters & mirrors

Scrub & Disinfect Toilets

Monthly Cleaning

Dust Bookshelves, appliances, light fixtures & Other surfaces

Wash Bath Mats

Launder duvet cover or quiltsWipe down microwave & Fridge

Clean & disinfect showers & tubs

Seasonal Cleaning

Wash windows

Deep clean the oven

Wipe down baseboards and molding

Recognize kitchen, bathroom and desk clutter

A few more tips… If it’s been a while since you’ve done a deep cleaning, it might

be worth paying a professional to come in once just to get you started. After that, you can take over and just maintain the level of cleanliness you started with.

If you have pets, babies, or dust allergies, you will want to clean a little more frequently than what is listed in the chart.

If it feels like you’re doing laundry too often, splurge on another set of sheets, towels, or socks.

If it helps motivate you to actually check things off, frame this list and then use a dry erase marker to check things off on the glass.

I hope this post helps you to keep your space spick-and-span.
