If you are anything like me, you love to clean. I Spring clean in the Winter, just to have an excuse to clean out the closets or organize.
I will give you some helpful tips that will help make Spring cleaning easier...hopefully ;)
- Make it easier on your self and do one room at a time
- Break the cleaning down between 2 days
- Do the upstairs rooms (bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, etc.) the first day and the downstairs rooms (kitchen, living room, family room, etc.) the second day, or visa versa
- When working in the kitchen, wash all appliances (big and small) with soap and water
- Wash all blinds and curtains
- Wash windows while you have the blinds and curtains down (a lot easier)
- Dust every crevasse
- Wash jackets/coats and hang them in your coat closet
- Clean out closets and put Winter/Fall clothes away or get rid of anything you don't use anymore
- Open the windows and just let the air in
- Wash your door mats or buy more Spring like colored mats
- While you are vacuuming your floors also vacuum your couch and chairs
- Make a detailed list of what needs to be done in each room. It makes you feel less overwhelmed when you walk into that specific room.
- Organize kitchen cupboards. Most people don't think about this. When most people think about organizing, they think of closets, so most people miss this step
- Put away all comforters and heavy blankets. Make sure you wash them before you store them
- If you have a curio cabinet or if you have shelves, update them with Spring colors and items
- Rearrange furniture
- Rearrange your walls
The most important part is, don't stress about it, have fun with it. Look at it as a whole new beginning for your house. You can make it fresh, bright and feel new again.
Anytime I clean, whether it be Spring cleaning or just my weekly cleaning duties, I always have my music on. It makes the time go faster and I have more fun that way.
