My hubby calls my idea of spring cleaning "inspection cleaning" and he HATES it lol
there are 4 levels of clean to me...
#1, kid clean (when i actually get the kids to help and end up having to redo it ALL)
#2, Man clean (same as kid clean, but only have to redo most)
#3, day to day clean (normal clean)
and #4 spring clean (where nothing is safe from being scrubbed, and organized. also when i tend to scrub things with old toothbrushes and throw a ton of stuff out)
but... i ignore attics, garages, and basements since i dont count them as part of the house lol. DH can do them, or they dont get done at all lol

When I was a stay at home Mom 23 yr.s ago My three kids thought I spring cleaned every Thursday or Friday.
I cleaned for each season and every week, did most of it everyday too. Now, I don't really have a set time to clean in detail, do it when the mood strikes. I'll be retiring in June and plan to do a little each day.

I would LIKE to spring clean, but life gets in the way...every year! LOL
Seriously, though, I go through bouts of cleaning, beyond the normal weekly stuff, all through the winter. I'm the world's best purger, and I HATE clutter. It makes it take too long to clean around. If I feel the need to do some cleaning and organizing I watch Hoarders and that gives me the motivation I'm lacking. I feel so bad for those people, living in the clutter and dirt they do. It must be so hard on both their mental and physical health. My brain can't function if I'm surrounded by clutter. I get too confused.

I'm getting new flooring (no carpet in the house ever again) new windows ( I can open the drapes again!) new countertops and new bathroom fixtures. I'll have a nice new clean house and then it goes on the market. LOL
