Spring is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about spring cleaning. However, before you jump in, it’s important to prepare yourself and your home for the deep clean that’s about to happen. In this post, we’ll cover some tips and tricks for preparing for spring cleaning, so you can make the most of your time and effort.
Make a Spring Cleaning Plan
Before you start cleaning, it’s important to make a plan. Decide which areas of your home need the most attention and prioritize them. Make a list of tasks for each area, so you have a clear idea of what needs to be done. This will help you stay focused and avoid feeling overwhelmed. You can find a complete daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and yearly cleaning schedule in the 2023 Divine Life and Home Planner.
Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
Stock up on cleaning supplies before you start. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as cleaning sprays, sponges, gloves, and trash bags. It’s also a good idea to invest in a good-quality vacuum and mop to help make cleaning easier.
Declutter Before Spring Cleaning
Decluttering is an important step in preparing for spring cleaning. Before you start cleaning, go through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need or want. This will make cleaning easier and give you more space to work with.

Enlist Help
Spring cleaning can be a big job, so don’t be afraid to enlist help. Consider asking friends or family members to help out, or hire a professional cleaning service if you need extra assistance.
Break It Up
Don’t try to tackle everything at once. Instead, break up your cleaning tasks into manageable chunks. Set aside a few hours each day or weekend to work on specific areas of your home. This will help you avoid burnout and make the process more enjoyable.
