The time for spring cleaning is right around the corner! After a long, stuffy winter it’s time to refresh your home in preparation for some summer fun. A time of the year when you want to be outside and not stuck inside cleaning. So, let’s get a head start on some deep cleaning, and don’t forget to open the windows to let in some fresh air on the nicer spring days!

Now that we have covered the main living areas, it’s time to cover some of the other areas that tend to get pushed to the back burner throughout the year. If you have an unfinished basement like mine, it’s still essential to do a deep clean of it every once in a while to keep this area of your home tidy and germ-free like the rest of it! I find that the garage is a place in the home that easily collects clutter, so let’s go through that too!
Basement

The garage is one of the places that is difficult to organize! Some of my favorite items to organize a garage with can be found linked below. I hope these items are helpful when organizing your own garage!
Spring cleaning can be not only time consuming, but also overwhelming! I find myself oftentimes not knowing where to begin, which is why I decided to compile this ultimate spring cleaning checklist for you. When you’re able to check things off of a list, it will keep you motivated as you go. Happy cleaning!
