Spring Cleaning and Organization Challenge - 2015



Are you ready for spring? One rite of passage I enjoy each year is spring cleaning. There's something about cleaning the window sills and airing out the house that helps put the cold winter behind me.

To help myself and readers make the most of spring cleaning, I put together a calendar to bring you all the way from the first day of spring to the last day of spring. There are different chores and projects for most days to get you through the next three . I didn't include routine chores, like washing dishes or routine bathroom cleaning. I focused on chores that I never seem to prioritize, but that would make a big difference in my house.

Whether you own a home or live in an apartment, you can adapt this calendar to meet your needs. You can download the calendar and use it as is or adapt it to meet your needs.

Spring Cleaning and Organization Challenge Rules!

* The challenge starts on March 20 and ends on June 20.

1. Refer to the links to the calendars at the bottom of this post. Feel free to substitute items if one or more of the items don't make sense for your home.

2. Work ahead (or behind) as needed. The main goal is to finish all items by the end of each week and the entire calendar by the end of spring.

3. Go to the Missy Inspired Facebook page and click "Like." Feel free to Share this post on Facebook with your friends. Comment on this post by 3/20 to sign up for the Spring Cleaning and Organization Challenge. Post your progress every few days and share the challenge with your friends!

4. Keep up with your regular cleaning. I didn't include standard cleaning items on this calendar because I wanted to focus on the items that I never seem to complete. Here is my typical schedule:

Daily:
- Load and run dishwasher
- Clean and wipe down counters
- Clean and wipe down dining room table
- Take out the trash
- Make the beds (mornings)

Weekly:
- Sweep the floors
- Mop the floors, if needed

Twice monthly:
- Clean the bathrooms
- Vacuum
- Change bed sheets

  2. I love to deep clean. But since I work in tax, it’s usually May before I can find enough time. Then it’s bordering on being TOO hot if we’ve gone straight from winter to summer, so many years I deep clean in the fall.

  3. It’s great that you are keeping up these kinds of posts, with the itemized calendar as guide. Spring cleaning can be an overwhelming activity, with how the tasks could tend to overlap with each other. It might be best to start out in one area, rather than tackling everything in one go. That way, you’re sure that you can focus on one thing until it is finished. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

  5. Doing something without a specific plan is like walking on a path with no direction. Well, it's good to know that you have a calendar of activities. I'm sure that will make your cleaning easier, organized and efficient. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea! All the best to you!

  7. I really found this very useful. Spring makes the perfect time to clean the entire house. Using a calendar like this one allows to you do a certain task on a given day and stay organized at the same time. This is an excellent idea that I plan to use each year from now on.

  20. Many people simply do not clean their windows enough. Once a year or never is probably the norm but it's not enough in most cases. Many window cleaners agree that you need to clean your windows thoroughly at least every six months. Window washing robot

  24. Usually tenants have to sign a bond to rent a property on lease. They have to sign an agreement with the landlord to ensure the security of the property and its assets. Further, they have to assure the owner that their property will be kept in the same way as it was when the lease was initiated. And to ensure this, tenants have to take care of the property and keep it clean. To get this job done, tenants need to avail end of lease cleaning services that is a very convenient and budget-friendly option to help them handover the place in its original condition.

  25. While it is virtually impossible for the new look to continue indefinitely, what is definitely within your purview as a home owner is to think in terms of regular upholstery cleaning, either DIY or by hiring a specialized service provider. As days go by the new look of your upholstery is bound to be replaced by a dull look owing to a layer of dust having settled on the surface. And heart-breaking though it might be, equally inevitable it is for something to spill and leave a dark patch on the fabric which is bound to look ugly and unsightly. It is at this point that upholstery cleaning comes into play. Hero of Cleaning

  27. I’ve observed that in the world the present moment, video games are definitely the latest fad with children of all ages. Often times it may be unattainable to drag young kids away from the activities. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are numerous educational activities for kids. Thanks for your post.

  28. Living in Florida I've been around boaters all of my life. One of the most common complaints that I hear from boat owners is that they spend a lot of money on cleaning products that ultimately breakdown the original finish on gel coat or vinyl upholstery. I believe that the one most important step to properly cleaning your boat is to use the right products. Save time and money by doing it right the first time and protect the environment at the same time. office cleaning
