Maintaining Your House After Spring Cleaning

April 22, 2019 · In: Cleaning, Spring Cleaning Series

You made it to the end of Spring Cleaning! Cue the Beyonce music and glasses of champagne! But don’t think your done, Missy, because that kind of attitude is what got you into this 8 Day Spring Cleaning Series in the first place. Sure, once a year some extra tasks need to be done to keep your house clean, safe, healthy, and in good repair. But that doesn’t mean you get to let it go down the drain until next April. Here are a few tips on keeping your house cleaner and more organized the other 11 months of the year.

Spring Cleaning Binge Series: Day 8- Keeping It Up

Keeping Your House Clean Year-Round

You need a Cleaning Schedule! Hands down, a cleaning schedule is what will keep you on track and organized, and no weekly, monthly, or quarterly cleaning task will ever get pushed aside or forgotten about. It will also hold you accountable for not procrastinating, because you can see exactly what needs to be done today and what can wait til the weekend.

Here’s a post all about how to craft a cleaning schedule that will work best for you and your family, but because I bet you’re a visual kind of girl, here’s some snapshots of my own personal cleaning schedules. I know they may not work for you and your lifestyle, but they will serve as a jumping-off-point and an inspiration to building your own.

Know When To Call A Pro

In this DIY age of Pinterest and YouTube, homeowners often feel like they can do just about anything themselves. And while I’m all about homeowner’s empowerment, there are some times that calling a pro is a better idea. If you picked up my Printable Spring Cleaning Planner, you noticed that every single list reminded you to address any necessary repairs. I’m guessing that a lot of the repairs you had to address were things you had tried to DIY over the last year, or worse, just avoided them altogether.

Any time you’re dealing with the following scenarios, save yourself the trouble of failed DIY repairs, huge messes, and a big fat waste of money and just bite the bullet. Call the pro and get it done right.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
