Yes, friend, we are Spring Cleaning! I’m so excited you are here.
BE SURE TO GRAB YOUR FREE SPRING CLEANING CHECKLIST
Spring Cleaning seems to have started a bit earlier this year and, honestly, definitely more urgently.
At this point of the year, we are normally facing the transition phase between winter into spring. Spring cleaning, weight loss, spring break, March Madness, and Easter are the usual topics of conversation.
However, this year is different. We are in the Coronavirus self-quarantine stage. Every morning I wake up and there is something new! Who knows what the future holds.
But what I do know right now are 2 things that we MUST do:
1) BOOST OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS FROM THE INSIDE.
Check out this post I wrote specifically for boosting the immune system during this global outbreak.
2) IT’S TIME TO NOT ONLY CLEAN BUT DISINFECT!
Most of us were planning or have already started some deep cleaning and now with many of us and our kids being directed to stay home, what better time to dig in!
Whether your house is cleaned on the most consistent daily and weekly schedule or your disinfectant hasn’t seen the light of day in a long time doesn’t matter. It’s never ok to hold onto shame or guilt in any area of your life.
In the words of Elsa, LET IT GO, and let’s move on!
It is what it is!
Here are the products I use and highly recommend for earth-friendly and family-friendly cleaning and some super tough, germ and virus killing, bad to the bone disinfectants!

Ok… let’s move on.
ACCEPT IT
The only way to move on from where you are is to first accept where you’re at then make a plan to change it.
Being the mom of 4 kids, 3 of them being boys, I have had to do this more times than I’d care to admit. But it’s worth it. It will make you feel better overall, inside and out.
TIME TO DIG IN
If you’re anything like I was, Spring Cleaning sounded incredibly overwhelming, and let’s be honest, not fun… so I would avoid it like the Coronavirus.
I don’t know about you, but I work well in chunks. When I decided that I didn’t have to Spring Clean the entire house in ONE DAY I felt better.
I broke it down into bite-size pieces.
Room by Room Please!
5 DAYS = 5 ROOMS
Since we seem to be gifted with much more time at home, let’s get this done!
Spring Cleaning your Bedrooms
You will often hear at my house: Time to Strip the Beds!
SO LET’S START HERE
- Sheets
- Pillowcases
- Bedspreads
- Baby Blankets
- Favorite Snuggle Animals
- and grab your curtains while you’re at it. (read your care labels)
I set my wash machine to the sanitize setting, use my favorite detergents and boosters, and let it do what it does best! Clean, baby, clean
NEXT
- Flip and rotate the mattresses.
- Pull beds away from the walls and vacuum or dust mop the entire room.
- Wipe down the baseboards with a damp cloth.
- Dust dressers and nightstands.
- Clean mirrors and windows.
Good luck and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Let me know how it’s going in the comments below!
