It’s finally starting to get a little warmer (well, at least that’s what I am telling myself), and you know what that means… Okay, yes, getting to go outside without fifteen layers, but I am talking about spring cleaning. Cue everyone’s collective groans.
Whether it’s just sorting out your cluttered dorm room or your parents have assigned you to help in the full household clean, spring cleaning is rarely fun. While I love a clean room as much as the next person, that journey from point A to point B is just a little too much for lazy lil me. So how can we simplify the spring cleaning process? Here are a few ways:
Play With The Schedule
Seriously, why spring cleaning? You're a busy lady these couple months, so consult your planner and go against the mainstream cleaning schedule. How about summer? Hmmm, no because you're planning cool vacations. Fall? Maybe.... Winter? Okay, just keep pushing it back season by season. Hey, as long as you plan to do it someday (maybe), that's really all that matters. Source: Shutterstock.comGet Literal
Seriously, how many springs could you have in your vicinity? A few? Just make sure those all look spiffy and you won't be lying when you tell someone you sped through your spring cleaning. Source: Shutterstock.comDisney Princess Lessons: Part 1
Those girls always had their little animal friends helping them out with things. There's no reason that can't work in the real world, right? Just leave open the door and see who joins you to help in your cleaning adventure. It's not like having animals in the house means more to clean up or anything...

Those who didn't have the help of small animals, often did have the help of magic in their life. Is there really a better time to try and boost your amateur magician skills than when you want all the junk around you to disappear? Spend some time working on your illusion skills, as these will be help in all future cleaning endeavors. Source: Shutterstock.comAll-In-One Cleaning
Mops, brooms, vaccums... don't they all just kind of do the same thing? Grab them all at once and start taking them for a spin around your floors together. They'll each do what they are supposed to, and you've just saved three trips to basically do the same job. Multi-tasking! Source: Shutterstock.comTrash Decor
Just start filling those black garbage bags with whatever is in sight. Now, don't worry about throwing out something you may need, because actually sorting your stuff and hauling those bags all out to the curb will be way too much work. Instead, find ways to incorporate them into your decor. If they're filled with clothes, they're basically like cool bean bag chairs! Once you accept that trash bags are totally cool decor, your spring cleaning just got simpler. Source: Shutterstock.comOffer Alternatives
Your mom wants you to clean out the basement cobwebs, but wouldn't it be better if you just left them up and let people tour your creepy basement clutter as a year-round haunted house? Money-making sounds way better than cleaning! Instead of grabbing the sponge, I think your parents will appreciate your initiative as you put together a business model and let those cobwebs stay in place.

Is there really a difference between things being clean and them just looking clean? It's the oldest trick in the book, but streamline your cleaning by making use of packing things under your bed and stuffing your closet. Just be careful the next time you go to open your closet in case a pile of clothes comes tumbling down, but if it means you get out of spring cleaning duties early, totally worth it.
