What are the signature techniques Janis Elspas uses for Passover cleaning and organization?

When I get ready for Passover, I lean on a few core habits that make cleaning and organizing feel less overwhelming and more organized:

• Start early and in stages: I begin with non‑kitchen areas (toys, bags, bedrooms) and work toward the kitchen and pantry last, like in those posts where I shared my pantry all set up for Pesach.
• Zone-based cleaning: I treat each area as a “zone” (pantry, fridge, dining room, kids’ spaces) and fully finish one before moving on, so I can see real progress.
• Dedicated Pesach storage: I keep all Passover items (like the matzah cover and special dishes) together so they’re easy to pull out when I “start to prepare the house for Passover.”
• Visual reset: Once an area is cleaned for Pesach, I avoid bringing chametz back into that space and try to keep surfaces as clear as possible.

Would you like a room‑by‑room checklist based on these techniques?
