Truth be told, I swear by daily cleaning routines. They help me keep my home tidy, but sometimes, deeper cleaning is needed. So, when winter starts to retreat and I know spring is on the way, I pull out my spring cleaning checklist to freshen up my entire house (usually within a week).
However, this year, I've decided to spread out my cleaning tasks over shorter periods and turn it into a challenge to combat boredom and minimize cleaning anxiety. After completing my 7-day kitchen deep cleaning challenge, I'm diving into the bathroom for this week's challenge. Join me, and let's make spring cleaning manageable and stress-free!
Below, you'll find guidelines on organizing your bathroom deep cleaning challenge along with helpful tips and a free printable checklist.
