We have finally arrived at week four of our Spring Clean in 30 Challenge. We’ve spent the last three weeks cleaning different areas, giving our home the attention it needs. We’ve been sweeping, swishing, and spraying down the surfaces and dusting off the cobwebs of wintertime. If you’re new to the challenge, Clean Mama and I kicked off “Spring Clean in 30” on April 1st. We are in the last week of completing 30 cleaning tasks (each under 30 minutes) for the next 30 days & sharing daily on Instagram. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can find out what we’ve been cleaning each week – here on the blog. If you have an Instagram account, follow us @abowlfulloflemons and @cleanmama to see our daily tasks. We would love for you to join the challenge & share with us, using the hash tag #springcleanin30. If you’ve missed the first three weeks of the challenge, begin today! Don’t forget to tag us so we can see your progress. Here’s an overview of what we accomplished during week three.

What is the purple thing you are using to clean your blinds? I need one of those..
It’s a tool specifically designed for cleaning blinds. You can find them in the cleaning aisle at your local ‘box store’, dollar store or even on amazon.
Great spring clean challenge! I am totally in! It is great that you post such a helpful list because I very often forget some places! 🙂
I am a little late with the spring cleaning this year. Your article reminded me it is about time to dry clean my curtains and steam clean the carpets. I usually do that in late March or in the beginning of April but this was a crazy couple of months for me so it would be in May this year. Don’t judge me.
I have to do this! Where I live we already consider it summer but I love a good deep clean nonetheless. Spring cleaning is my favorite part of spring!
I’m a full-time cleaner and when I come back home I am exhausted. But if I want to live in a clean house, I know that cleansing should be done. Yesterday I saw your blog and it’ll be very helpful to me. I won’t do everything on Sunday, but will allocate the duties during the week. Thanks for sharing your daily and weekly cleaning plan!
