Often we avoid cleaning as it seems to take up too much time. If you plan ahead and get organized before you start cleaning, you’ll be able to cut the time spent managing the mess and have more time to do the things you love!

Making a list of tasks that need to be completed will help you see exactly what needs to be done and allows you to track your progress. It’s very motivating to watch that to-do list dwindle down and especially exciting to check that final thing off the list!

Organization may actually help you clean less! Once you have completed your deep spring cleaning you can avoid the need for another heavy cleaning with a quick maintenance cleaning once per week! Make time for the quick touch-up cleaning and you’ll actually save yourself time in the long run.  Think of your list as a little reminder to keep you on track.

You’ll also need to make sure you have all the right tools for the job BEFORE you get started.
