Spring clean with me! In this video I share how to spring clean my apartment. Find inspiration and motivation to spring clean your home! I'm spring cleaning my Scandinavian minimalist apartment at Södermalm in Stockholm Sweden.
I get so many questions about the things in my apartment and what I like and wear so I've collected links for many of them below.

I saw half of the video and feel the urge to clean my entire house xD I paused it, cleaned the kitchen, the 2 bathrooms and all the floors and sit down to finish the video with a cold lemon beer ;D BTW, I'm a new subscriber :)

I discovered this channel not long ago and decided to start watching from the first vlog. Love the calm way you describe what you’re doing and your minimalist approach - though I’m not anywhere near that level yet! You’ve also inspired me to declutter and do a deep spring clean which is a work in progress. My grandfather was Danish so I’m interested in all things Scandinavian. I can’t wait to visit Sweden again …hopefully next year 🤗🇦🇺

So I just watched this TWICE 🤷♀️ Nice job with the video....everything really! 👏🏻👏🏻 The little bit that I saw of your patio, LOVE IT. The netting like thing above for Bonus and Mini’s safety is on point too. Simplicity is everything... at least for me and I love that even your bed linens are simple which makes it easier to switch out linens and make the bed. No idea why I have my bed so complicated... mattress cover, fitted sheet, top sheet, blanket year round AND finally the comforter! Oh, let’s not forget the pillows we sleep with, then the decor pillows and then two small throw pillows!!! 🤦🏼♀️ Whyyyyyy? Changing this hot mess this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration ALWAYS 👋👋

Watching your videos is so relaxing they are literally ASMR for my eyes. :) You could try these white dirt sponges at the base of your kitchen table, they work better if they are a little wet. :) And it may be better as a scrubbing cleanser as it roughens the surface making it more sensitive for more stains Also it may look nice to put a medium-density-fiberboard on top of the tiled spot beneath your bathroom mirror for now. A similar one like at your washing machine and dryer, not the same diameter though. With a wooden or a white top. But that may only be me as I am not a big fan of tiled surfaces. :) Also I would like to see how you plan out your patio. Plants, pots, climbing supports, hanging plants, hydrangeas etc.
