How to Make Spring Cleaning Easier This Season

Each one of us wants to be more efficient during spring cleaning and to make the project a little easier if possible so we can have a clean, tidy, and beautiful home.

Below are tips on how to turn what could be a daunting task into a fun, satisfying activity.

Tip No. 1 - Make a list. When creating a list, you can begin by walking around your home to inspect the work that needs to be done. Take note of the specific areas that require extra care and attention. To make your list even more detailed, break your notes down by task, by surface, and by room. You can even make a category of the cleaning method to be used.

Tip No. 2 - Perform one task all over your property before moving on to the next. To be more specific, first clean all the doors and windows of your home before cleaning ceiling fans and washing all of your baseboards. By doing so, you will save a great amount of time just by eliminating the preparation time for a particular task. You also won’t have to switch from one cleaning method and product to another. Make sure you have all the materials that you need to perform a cleaning procedure.

Tip No. 3 - Gather the cleaning supplies you need in a designated storage area. You have the task list ready, which means you now know the numerous cleaning supplies needed for each task.

Tip No. 4 - Start working at the top. Begin the cleaning with crown moldings and ceilings. Next, clean all your ceiling fans or the HVAC system. After you are done with the task, you can now start cleaning your windows, baseboards, doors, and walls. As soon as that’s taken care of, clean the horizontal surfaces of your home such as tables, countertops, and mantels. Your floors must be the last on the list.

Tip No. 5 - If possible, ask for help. However, you should not be working on a similar task. Working on different parts of the house and on different projects will ensure that no one gets in anyone else’s way. You can assign one person to clean a particular room or section of your home. The others can work on the lawn, landscaping, kitchen, etc.

Tip No. 6 - When you reach the point where you need to clean your closets, trash bags and storage boxes must be available. This way, it will be much easier for you to remove every item from your closet. When you put your things back to their proper places, it’ll be much easier for you as well to decide which ones need to be disposed of.

Tip No. 7 - The grocery shopping will be put on hold until your pantry and refrigerator are clean. Doing so will save you a lot of time and effort because you no longer have to move and put back hundreds of items. As soon as everything is clean, you can start stocking up.

Tip No. 8 - When cleaning your home’s exterior, use a combination of window and siding cleaners. The cleaners that you can get from your local stores can be hooked up to your water hose. They can also be utilized at ground level, which means you won’t have to use your ladder.

Tip No. 9 - Have a yard or garage sale before starting the spring cleaning project. This will help you get rid of the clutter in your home and make some cash in the process. The money that you’ve gained can be used to reward yourself after the entire undertaking is complete.
