A-Z Spring Cleaning Challenge

One Task A Day for the Month of April

We may all be ready for spring, but are we all ready for spring cleaning? Along with the flowers blooming and warmer weather come the tasks including flipping mattresses, pulling out furniture and cleaning the space behind, washing window screens and curtains – things that need to be done, but probably aren’t done on a regular basis.

However, there are many other areas in our homes that get overlooked constantly. What if we used this spring as the time to tackle those areas? To make it easy, this A-Z Spring Cleaning Challenge includes one task a day for each day in April. You even get Sundays off to rest! By the end of the month, you’ll have cleaned many of those areas and items that are neglected, but need a good thorough cleaning.  

Of course, in the meantime, if you are ready to get your spring cleaning started, you can start with the items you normally do – move that furniture, power wash your siding, clean your blinds.  Just know that starting on April 1st, you’ll only have one task to complete each day. Imagine the sense of accomplishment you'll feel at the end of the month when your home - and maybe even your life - is cleaner and more organized!
