Tips and Conclusion
Work from the top of each room downward so dust and dirt fall to floors you clean last, and finish one room before starting the next. Keep your caddy stocked, take short breaks, and put fresh bedding, towels, and flowers in place as you finish each space.
Spring cleaning does not have to be done in a single day. Tick off one section at a time, enjoy the fresh air and lighter rooms as you go, and end with a home that is clean, organised, and ready for spring.
