5 Tips to Spring Clean on a Budget!~
Hello friends,
Hope you are having a wonderful Spring so far! What are some fun projects, road trips or places you have been to enjoy the wonderful season?
These past few weeks I have been working on Spring cleaning, organizing and redecorating. I finally began using the Cricut which I got for Christmas. It has been a time of learning and joyfully making DIY projects on a budget.
I thought I would share with you a few of the tips, tricks and resources I used to help save time and money.
5 Tips for Spring Cleaning on a Budget!~
Utilize a Spring cleaning & organizing checklist
Don’t overwhelm yourself. Do a zone area at a time. Examples: Kitchen, bathroom, office etc.
Schedule a day or time that works for you.
Set priorities and deadlines for projects.
Budget for replacement items needed. Check out my blog: Spring Shopping Like a Pro.
Steps I take to Spring Clean
Main areas of focus for seasonal: kitchen, bathrooms, closets, bathrooms, outdoor spaces. In the kitchen: oven, fridge, pantry and drawers.
Remove items from spaces. Sort into piles: trash, keep, donate or sell. I love using Facebook Buy Nothing and Facebook Marketplace to donate or sell items. Plus, I give to family members or Goodwill.
Dust, sweep, mop, vacuum and clean windows.
Reorganize items into baskets, drawers, closets, shelves. etc.
Redecorate if you want. (To save money, go to Goodwill and thrift shops etc.)
Clean Rugs, baseboards, windows and vents.
Outdoor patio: organize, clean and decorate for Spring/Summer! Plus, I love to plant and garden
Below are just a few spaces that I spruced up for Spring and Summer!
There is A Time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1
