If there is one thing I have been on top of this year, it has been spring cleaning! Over the past couple of weeks, I have been organizing and cleaning different parts of the apartment, and I have documented it all on my TikTok. However, now it was time for the apartment refresh, and when it comes to spring cleaning, I have a specific quote that comes to mind: How do you eat a whale? You eat it one bite at a time! Clean at your own pace, and don't feel like you have to rush your cleaning or organization process. If you really have no idea where to start, this blog is for you as I walk you through my basic spring cleaning routine!

Create a To-Do List

If you have no idea where to start with spring cleaning, making a to-do list is the easiest place to start! I make a list of every single room in my house that I want to clean and write down all the different things I need to do in each room to refresh it. Remember, you don’t have to finish all of these tasks in one day. In fact, it took me two days to finish cleaning the kitchen, and I needed Will to help me complete everything on the list!
