Spring Cleaning Tips

Spring is finally here! Here are five spring cleaning tips to make your home blossom.

Make a Schedule

Scope out your home: What areas need the most work? What areas do you skip during routine cleaning? Those are the best places to start. Having a plan will keep you focused on the task at hand, so break it down room by room and then get started!

De-Clutter

Set aside some time to dust and organize your office, look through that dreaded junk drawer (and desk drawers!) and organize all of your closets. You may be surprised how fresh you feel after you eliminate unnecessary stress from your life.

Walls and Windows Need Love Too

People almost always clean their floors, but they typically forget about walls and windows. Not all dust settles on the floor and other surfaces. Just use a damp towel to wipe down walls and blinds (starting from the top then going to bottom). Remove and wipe down the window screens.

Don’t Forget About the Air

Replacing furnace and HVAC filters is one of the most important and overlooked parts of spring cleaning. In fact, replacing a standard filter with a more robust one with a high MERV rating will help keep you healthier as you enter spring.

Think Green

If you don’t have a steam cleaner, one of the best natural combinations for cleaning is white distilled vinegar, baking soda, and water. These ingredients are affordable, non-toxic, and have worked for ages when it comes to cleaning.
