It’s that time of year again! Birds are chirping, sun is shining (at least sometimes!) and we are getting eager to organize, declutter and refresh. Spring cleaning can be daunting but when you break it down into smaller tasks and go at it one at a time it’s far more manageable. Whether you are looking to list your house soon to sell or just looking to start fresh, the rewards of spending some time now to spring clean and declutter can make a big difference in your daily life going forward. Many tasks can be easily missed with routine weekly cleaning and organizing so we’ve created a round up of spring cleaning tasks to check off this year.
