Spring has sprung, and as we transition from winter, it’s the perfect time to embrace the change in season by partaking in some spring cleaning! Spring cleaning can seem daunting at first, you may ask yourself “Where do I start?”. Ashley Chambers with Spruce magazine gives her “15 Must-Know Spring Cleaning Tips from Cleaning Pros” to make your spring cleaning a breeze.
First and foremost, create a schedule, tasks are easier to accomplish when you have a plan and can visualize what areas need attention the most. Spruce suggests going through your house room by room, and working top to bottom, so you can really focus on the areas that need it the most.
Next prepare your cleaning arsenal with your favorite household cleaning products. Some must-haves include: all purpose cleaner, scouring powder, baking soda and vinegar, floor cleaner, a mop, and some microfiber towels.
Once you have your plan laid out, you can start to sort and organize your belongings. Spruce magazine suggests putting your belongings into four categories - keep, give away, trash, and put away. You have the option to donate your unwanted items or hold a yard sale. Spring cleaning is a great time to try new storage methods to organize the items you choose to keep.
Cleaning can often be a monotonous task, so try to combine it with something you love. Put on your favorite playlist or discover something new. You can listen to an audiobook or podcast to pass the time as you work. Be sure not to forget the parts of your house that are overlooked. You should change your air filter regularly, clean your carpets, and embrace the fresh air by opening some windows to promote air flow throughout the house.
