It might not feel like it right now, but it’s almost springtime! The weather might be a little up and down, but soon the flowers will be opening, the sun will be shining, and you’ll be inviting friends over for barbecues. So now is the perfect time to do some spring cleaning, declutter your house and get everything fresh and sparkling clean for the warmer weather. But if you’d like us, you might feel like you’ve forgotten something, which is why we’ve put together a spring clean checklist you can follow! To make it simple to do we’re going to go room by room.

The bathroom is probably the area of your house you clean most often, along with your kitchen, so it’s likely in better shape than many other areas of your home But now it’s time to do the deep clean, so to the bathroom, you go. Here your job is to make sure you de-clutter. Throw away the half-empty bottles you’re never going to use again, or that random pile of rubbish that never seems to be taken out. You should also:
Of course, your spring clean isn’t just limited to the inside of your house. The outside needs some love too! And since the weather is starting to brighten up, now is the time to pull on your jumper and do the hard bits, so that you can enjoy that summer sun when it arrives. Your outdoor area will look different depending on where you live, but a few things to check are:
