Item details
Australian spring runs September to November, six months after the American lists most printables are written for. This one is timed for here: clean the ceiling fans and air-conditioner filters before summer, check the flyscreens before the mozzies, and swap the winter bedding.
Two pages, room by room, plus a weekend plan so it doesn't all land on one Saturday.
What's included
- 2 A4 pages of seasonal jobs, room by room
- A four-weekend plan
- Three colourways
How to use it
- Pick one area per weekend from the plan.
- Do the declutter first, so you aren't cleaning things you'll give away.
- Leave the outside jobs for a dry, mild day.
Questions
When is spring cleaning in Australia?
September to November. Late September and October are mild enough for windows and outdoor jobs in most cities.
Should I clean the gutters myself?
Only from a stable ladder with someone holding it. For two-storey homes, use a professional.
Rather hand it over? Book a house clean with simply maid.
