Spring cleaning? Let’s keep it simple
Spring refresh—without the all-or-nothing stress
This year, let’s ditch the overwhelming to-do lists and focus on simple, purposeful decluttering that actually makes your home feel fresh.
3 quick wins for your spring refresh
1. Start with what bugs you most
Got a spot that makes you sigh every time you walk past it? Start there! Just one cabinet, shelf, or corner. That first satisfying win will make the next one even easier.
2. Try a 15-minute micro-sprint
Set a timer and tackle a specific area: expired pantry items, sock drawers, or extra coffee mugs. Short, focused bursts beat hours of halfhearted cleaning every time.
3. Rehome or release
If something isn’t serving you (or sparking even a tiny bit of joy), it’s time to let it go. Donate, sell, or gift it—or, if it’s past its prime, recycle or toss responsibly. Spring cleaning isn’t just about wiping surfaces—it’s about making space for what matters.
There’s no wrong way to refresh your space
Some people love a deep clean. Others just want to clear one shelf and call it a win. Both count! Whether you’re scrubbing baseboards or doing a quick refresh, progress over perfection wins every time.

Happy spring refreshing!
I so agree with this.
But if I show this to my wife she’ll hit me with the phone. 😅
I barely convinced her to spread the spring cleanup over two or three days, doing two rooms per day.
First time seeing your post (new to me) but I like your ideas on how to do a bit at a time!!
