A Spring Cleaning Checklist to Help Get You Started

Happy April! Spring has sprung and it's time to spring clean our homes. Oh, the joy!

Now that we are all at home during the coronavirus crisis it makes sense that we at least tackle our spring cleaning since we literally have a ton of time on our hands.

Now I will be the first to tell you that I hate cleaning my house but I enjoy living in a clean house so it has to be done. I was recently listening to the radio and heard about a spring cleaning challenge for the month of April and I thought that would be a great way to pass the time and get my house in order at the same time.

So far I have done a few things in my kitchen already like throwing out expired food and cleaning the microwave and toaster. But I really want to give my floors a good clean and I'm out of my refill for my Bona Mop. I'll have to break out the old fashion mop and give it a go.

Hopefully, this list is helpful to you. Let's challenge each other to do as many of these tasks as possible this month.
