Spring Cleaning Tips You Can Use Anytime

Every year, I see people dive into spring cleaning. You make these huge lists of things to clean in the hopes of setting yourself up for success for the rest of the year. And while I do see the value in some spring cleaning, in some ways I think it’s another way that we can make ourselves feel bad about the state of our homes by not doing “enough”, compared to what we think others are doing. In that spirit, here are five questions I’ve been asked about spring cleaning recently, with tips that you can use all year round. My goal is that they help you simplify your season, not make it more complicated.
