When the flowers start blooming, it’s time to start scrubbing. Spring cleaning is a great way to tackle the parts of home maintenance that we wouldn’t typically consider. Oftentimes, we become overwhelmed with the list of chores that never seems to end. Don’t fret! With these easy tips you’ll be able to manage spring cleaning and get your house tidy and ready for the warm months of summer.
Create a Schedule
Rome wasn’t built in a day, so why should you expect to clean your entire house in one? Section your house by room or floors, and assign each zone to a certain day. When you break the work into smaller segments, it makes it much less overwhelming.
Create a Checklist
Create a checklist for each room of what needs to be accomplished. This is an easy, visual way to break down tasks. It also gives a heightened sense of accomplishment whenever you’re able to check off a box!
The Devil’s In the Details
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to take on the chores we usually forget about. Take a look around the room and consider which parts of it you don’t typically clean. Dust your ceiling fans and light fixtures. Clean off your window sills. Wipe down your blinds and vacuum your curtains. Disinfect light switches, door knobs and handles. Clean every nook and cranny!
Declutter
Cleaning is much easier when you have less to clean. Take this time to declutter your home. Sort through old clothes, knick knacks, and books to see what you can get rid of. Donate them to a local thrift store or have your own yard sale to make a little extra cash!
Team Effort
Get the whole household involved! Assign your family members to rooms or tasks. Take the day, blast some tunes and spend time tidying up together.
