Spring is just around the corner! While nobody enjoys spring cleaning, we can all appreciate having a fresh home.
We have provided some spring cleaning tips below to help you tackle your home and get it looking its best for the season ahead.
Create a Playlist
Everything is more fun with a great playlist! Not only is music great therapy, but it can make the cleaning process more enjoyable.
One Room at a Time
Everyone likes seeing their home all sparkly and fresh, but sometimes it can be an overwhelming process to get to that point. It is best to clean one room at a time. Start with the smallest one and work your way up to the larger, project rooms!
Declutter as You Go
Spring cleaning isn’t just about shining up the brass on the door and dusting; it is just as important to declutter. Before you start cleaning a room, go through the closets and cupboards to clear out anything that can be donated or discarded.
Think Green!
Start the season off on a fresh, clean note; don’t muddy that up with harsh chemical cleaners. In today’s eco-conscious world, there are many eco-friendly and safe alternatives to regular cleaners. For example, vinegar makes a great chemical substitute for the bathroom or kitchen, and a steam cleaner is great for tile, hardwood floors, appliances and some outdoor areas.
Don’t Forget The Fridge & Freezer
The best time to clean out your fridge and freezer is right before you do your grocery shop. Dispose of anything that is past its expiration date and any almost-empty items that you won’t use. Before you restock be sure to wipe down the interior of the fridge with disinfectant and a damp cloth. The same can be done for the freezer but you’ll have to defrost it first!
Clean Air Reduces Allergies
Replacing furnace and HVAC filters is one of the most overlooked parts of spring cleaning. Consider replacing your standard filter with a more robust one that has a higher rating. This is a healthier option that will catch smaller particles to ensure your home is void of allergens, chemicals and odors. Your allergies will thank you later!
