Great list - going to use this as my guide to spring cleaning apartment addition!
Thanks for the list, Stefanie! I'm in the midst of making/tackling my own spring cleaning list & I'm taking bits & pieces of other people's lists & adding my own things too. I got some great ideas from your list. :)
Happy cleaning!
