Congratulations, you’ve made it to the 4th week of the Spring Cleaning Challenge! This means that you’ve gone through your home and deep cleaned!!! I could probably use about 100 more exclamation marks because WHAT A GOOD FEELING.
Now, I want to help you keep your home feeling good all the time. Having a home that feels good doesn’t mean it’s always perfectly clean, it means it’s always clean enough.
Homes should be clean enough to be healthy, and messy enough to be happy!
But before we jump into this week’s assignment, let me make sure you didn’t miss anything.
Remember that Spring Cleaning just really means “deep cleaning,” so if it’s no longer spring when you do this, that’s okay. This challenge is just a plan on how to get your home deep cleaned and STAY clean. It’s always a good time to do that.
If you’re just joining in, this is what you missed:
Feel free to start at the beginning, or start anytime. I can’t say this enough – it is always a good time to deep clean!

Cleaning Tips
You can browse all of my cleaning posts here. I have never counted, but I think I’ve written more about cleaning than decluttering if you add it all up. There’s lots of posts in there that will help this week.
And yes, as you browse the posts, you can see that some of my cleaning habits have changed over time, but yes, my main cleaners are still from Shaklee … but over time I’ve added a few more brands and favorites, like Mrs. Meyers from Grove. Don’t feel stuck in a rut! Try new things and keep cleaning fresh! (Pun intended.)
Alright, people, you’ve got this!!
Have a great week staring a cleaning and laundry schedule!
