Sprang cleaned or sprung cleaned or spring cleaned the rooms yesterday?

Question

How do you say the past tense of 'spring clean'?

Answer 1

spring cleaned. Spring is the adverb in this case (telling you what kind of cleaning you did), so you don't have to modify it. You do need to modify the verb though (clean) and make it past tense.

Another example of this would be power nap. You wouldn't say "I powered napped yesterda". You would simply say " I power napped yesterday."

Answer 2

I think it would be Spring Cleaned, because it is Springtime when you do it, and sprang, nor sprung is not the past tense for springtime.

Answer 3

I sprang into the room quickly sprung around & spring cleaned the the carpets. Past tense.

Answer 4

I would say:

I WAS spring cleaning....that way you don't have to change the tense of the word itself.

Answer 5

How about, "I did my Spring Cleaning, yesterday".
