Free Printable Spring Cleaning Checklist

March 11, 2013 - 36 comments
Free Printable // A very thorough spring cleaning list

A couple years ago I was pregnant with our twins and in crazy nesting mode. Unable to find a checklist that embodied my enthusiasm for spring cleaning, I made my own very thorough spring cleaning checklist.  I decided this year to revamp it a little and share it as a free printable.

For me, spring cleaning is not an onerous chore, but a treasured opportunity to throw open the windows and celebrate spring by making my home reflect the freshness and newness of the season. 

And crossing things off lists is, well, fun!


Please don't be daunted by the size of the list.  Many of the tasks are small ones that take very little time to complete, and not all of the items will be applicable to your home/life. I also left some blank spaces for you to add in items specific to your home and divided the tasks into the basics (like cleaning the kitchen table) and extras (like putting some fresh flowers on the table!)

You can print the file by going here.

(Note: Please enjoy this list without selling it in any way or passing it off as your own creation. But feel free to "pin" this post on pinterest.  I love seeing my own projects on pinterest!)

Happy Cleaning!

Thanks so much for visiting The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking.

    Such good timing, although quite a daunting thought, but the list is so pretty and I love the sense of achievement when you can tick something off - thank you x

    It just snowed *again* last night here. I guess I'll wait another week or so for "spring" cleaning. But now I'm excited!

    I just recently discovered your site, and have been really enjoying it! Thanks for this list, I've been in the mood for spring cleaning since it's been in the 60s already this week, and this will help give me some direction. I saw on FB that you were cleaning kids toys-do you have a list or any suggestions for going through kids toys for spring cleaning and could you recommend how you clean different things, like, stuffed animals? Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing your printables. I will really use it when I do my spring cleaning. :)

    I don't have anyone to help me do some deep cleaning, but I do quick cleaning every time so I don't have to always spend the whole day doing nothing but clean the house.

    Have a great day!

    Its great to have a cleaning checklist to follow and tick off as you go. After you have brought all the dust down to the floor you may want hire a good carpet cleaning and grout cleaning service to really bring the spring clean home. A good cleaning effort can give great satisfaction.
