SPRING CLEANING, THE EASY WAY!
DIY Deep Clean This Spring: The Erin Condren + Home Sort Planner
the best diy approach for spring cleaning
it’s that time of year when we’re extra motivated to deep clean all the places in our homes that haven’t seen the light of day in a year (or longer!). under the stove? check. the pit of despair behind the dryer? check. (you know you’ll find some strange stuff back there.) the grout in the bathroom? check and check.it’s a ton of hard work but so dang worth it when it’s done. but how do you keep track of ALL the tasks you need to tackle with your spring clean?with the new erin condren and home + sort organizational planner, of course!
what is a project planner?
erin condren creates a ton of different planner options so you can find one that fits your personality type. just like there isn’t one cookie-cutter way to organize your home, there are also different ways to manage your time or tasks. rather than focusing only on the calendar, a project planner focuses on — you guessed it — a project. in our case, that means a home organization planner. inside, we break things down into twelve categories including decluttering, organizing products, and of course deep cleaning.
spring cleaning overwhelm
as rewarding as spring cleaning feels after it’s done, it can feel overwhelming while you’re getting started. where do you begin? how do you keep track of everything? how can you get your kids involved without the eye-rolls? (we can’t guarantee that last part but we can help you get them involved!)just like when we help you get organized, when you’re deep cleaning the whole house it’s best to break things down into small steps and take them one at a time. and it never hurts to put on some fun music so you can stay motivated!
the link between deep cleaning and organization
what came first…organizing or cleaning? it’s hard to deep clean when there’s a lot of clutter in the way, so it can help to begin with a little sorting and letting some things go. at the same time, when you’re feeling inspired to deep clean, sometimes you’ve just gotta roll with it! tidiness, cleanliness, and organization are so connected and play a major role in your productivity. that’s why we cover all of it in the home + sort organizational planner — and it’s why we love to call it whole-life organization. spring is all about fresh starts and we want you to have that feeling in your home. if you’ve ever wished you could hire us to help you get organized, start with the planner and see how we can help you fall in love with your home again.
