Spring Cleaning Checklist: A Room-by-Room Guide

I’ve always loved having my tasks written down—there’s something so satisfying about checking things off as I go. To this day, I still jot down my to‑dos, grocery lists, and daily intentions. That little moment of crossing something off feels like a tiny victory. So to everyone strolling through the grocery store with a handwritten list in hand, I’m right there with you.

I put together a few printable options so you can choose the style that works best for you. Completing everything on the checklist will give you a full, top‑to‑bottom home refresh. And if none of them fit your routine, no worries—I included a blank version so you can customize your own list and check things off your way. Every spring, I like to do a reset, set new intentions, and start by cleaning out my closet. Take a moment to reflect on your goals and let this season inspire a fresh start.
