Spring Cleaning Checklist with room by room cleaning ideas

It’s that time of year when we need to pull out our Spring Cleaning Checklists and go through our home room by room cleaning our whole house out.

Spring Cleaning Checklists Room by Room Printable and Cleaning Tips - A list of room by room spring cleaning tips and a printable spring cleaning schedule.

Spring is on the horizon, and you may be itching to get your home spotless. Spring cleaning is a great way to deep clean your home and take care of the spots that have been neglected during the winter months. However, many people are unclear about how to spring clean room by room. Take a look below at some helpful spring cleaning tips and use the Spring Cleaning Checklist to help you tackle each room more thoroughly and effectively.

Before you begin spring cleaning your home, you may want to begin by decluttering your house and organizing your home. Then when you are done with your spring cleaning, you will have thoroughly deep cleaned your entire house.

During this process, we will work our way through each room covering all of the spots that may need your attention. You can follow this list as it is written or skip around to the spaces that you feel need your attention first. Let’s get started!

    Thank you for this cleaning list! I’ll be using this to get my fall cleaning done. Our weather in the northeast hasn’t been so bad yet (early November), so maybe the windows will get opened! Thanks again!

      You can use a spring cleaning checklist any time of year. Probably wouldn’t want to open the windows to air your home out, but other than that everything should still be doable.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
