How to Spring Clean Like an Expert

Now that the more general jobs are done, move on to your room-by-room list. If you find yourself easily overwhelmed, start with the rooms that need the most attention—like the kitchen or the bathroom. This way you’ll have less work to do when you’re feeling burnt out.
