5 Apps to Help You With Spring Cleaning

Winter items need to be packed away on the top shelves or in wardrobes, windows need washing, and the kitchen needs dusting. The to-do list can grow so long and daunting that it kills your motivation to even start. To avoid this, try using specialized mobile applications to organize, gamify, and simplify the cleaning process.

​Sweepy

This app is a good helper for people who feel overwhelmed by large housecleaning tasks. The app generates a home cleaning schedule and allows you to track progress and stay motivated. One big plus of Sweepy is that you can distribute the workload among your household members and avoid having to remind your partner to do something.

The app also lets you filter tasks by difficulty or skip them on low-energy days when you need to tackle easier chores.

​iScanner

One constant source of clutter in your home is paper. Magazines, flyers, coupons, receipts, stickers, and other paper stuff can look messy on your desk or shelves. Obviously, you can throw out a lot of them without concerns, but some pieces can be useful in the future or have sentimental value. If so, digitize them with the iScanner app and save them in the cloud for instant access.

The app uses AI to improve the quality of scanned documents. This means that if your notes don’t have edges, look crumpled, or have stains, their digital copies will look better than the originals.

​Spotless

If you prefer a minimalistic design and want to stay motivated during spring cleaning, you can try the Spotless app. This is a great household task manager that helps you to keep on top of your chores. The app allows you to set up multiple rooms and create task lists for each one. This way, you can see the full list of future tasks and better plan your time for cleaning. The app shows how long it has been since your last cleaning of the kitchen or bathroom. You can set reminders at a time that suits you, helping you to be more organized.

Chorsee

For people with families and kids, Chorsee is a good option for managing cleaning tasks. With the app, you can create a profile for each family member you wish to assign chores to. You can schedule tasks daily, weekly, monthly, on specific days, or alternating schedules, tailored to your needs, and also add notes, reminders, categories, and subtasks. One amazing feature is that you can configure specific rewards, then your kids can track their progress as they work toward the goal. This feature helps kids stay motivated and learn delayed gratification and planning.

​Cleaner Kit

When you finish doing the majority of spring cleaning tasks, it’s time to declutter one thing that you use every day—your phone. All winter or even longer, your phone keeps hundreds of your photos, with pets, children, family events, selfies, and more. Instead of spending time manually sorting photos and deleting duplicates and low-quality images, you can use the Cleaner Kit app. It saves you time, cleans phone storage, and frees up gigabytes of space in seconds. Digital cleaning of your iPhone can become a good part of your monthly cleaning routine.

​Spring cleaning can feel overwhelming, but you can make it less so by adopting new approaches. Try using mobile apps to manage tasks and your residents. Spring is an amazing time for new solutions.
