2013 New Year's Cleaning Grand Plan Challenge

    Cleaning New Year Challenge

    Christmas has come and gone ... and left a mess behind. Looking around, you wonder how you'll ever dig out in time for Spring!

    Solution? Take the Challenge!

    Roar into the New Year and clean house fast with the 2013 Cleaning Grand Plan Challenge from OrganizedHome.Com.

    Based on Katie Leckey's Cleaning Grand Plan, Cleaning Grand Plan Challenge kicks off the new year with a 14-week plan to clean and organize a spring-clean house for the New Year.

    Working in small weekly bites makes a big job easy, while printable checklists help organize and track cleaning chores. By Spring, you'll be ready to open the doors to warmer weather.

    The 2013 Cleaning Grand Plan Challenge begins on January 13, with a preview week for lists, questions, and putting the holidays to bed starting on January 6.

    Each week, we'll work through a different area of the home, deep-cleaning and organizing the space for a new, fresh feeling.

    Deep-cleaning the entire house is a big job! To begin, read the complete plan here, or use the week-by-week links below to view each week's assignment.

    Plan and track your progress with printable cleaning checklists from the OrganizedHome.com Forms Library.

    To keep you on-track, we'll remind you of each week's assignment on the Web, and via our Facebook and Twitter feeds.

    Finally, it's more fun to follow the Cleaning Grand Plan Challenge with a team, so check in for the challenge at our OrganizedHome.com Facebook page.

    Find motivation, support and friendship with other Cleaning Grand Plan Challengers. Working together, we can do it!

    Ready? Set? Let's clean house for the new year!
