Spring cleaning is a natural process of dusting off the winter cobwebs and shaking off the winter’s hibernation.  When the days grow longer and we see the sun shining, we begin to look with fresh eyes at our surroundings.  We may find that areas and spaces of our home have been neglected over a long winter.  This week, we’ll be focusing on spring cleaning each of the rooms/areas of our home.  Whether you have time to plow through a whole list of tasks in one day or need more time to carefully accomplish a few tasks throughout the week/month, creating a list for each of the rooms in your house will help your spring cleaning to be focused and productive.  Today, let’s get started where we prepare and eat our food.  Get ready to clean, sort, and organize your way to a clean kitchen and dining room.

Members to ListPlanIt have access to a wide range of lists that can help set goals for their spring cleaning in Home Management.  You’ll find detailed spring cleaning lists in both a mobile format (great for carrying around the house on your tablet or smartphone) and a printable PDF format.  Not yet a member?  Join today for just $5 and make it easy to organized for spring.
