Spring cleaning is a time for fresh starts and renewed energy. However, the thought of tackling a long list of cleaning tasks can be daunting. The good news is that with a few helpful tips, spring cleaning can be done in no time. Here are some top tips from Good Housekeeping to make your spring cleaning a breeze:
Plan Your Steps
Start by creating a list of what needs to be done in each room. This will help you stay organized and focused. And it’s always a good idea to declutter before you really start deep-cleaning. Get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. This will make cleaning much easier. And if your cleaning list seems too daunting, give yourself the greatest gift you can: time. Make the task of cleaning seem less intimidating by setting a timer for each room. This will help you get through the task quickly and efficiently. And it’ll give you a break, as well as help you focus on the next task.
Take It From the Top
When cleaning a room, start from the ceiling and work your way down. This will prevent dirt and dust from falling on surfaces that have already been cleaned. And don’t forget the hidden spots: Dust and dirt can accumulate in hidden spots such as behind furniture, under the bed, and in closets. Make sure to clean these areas thoroughly. Spring cleaning means really digging in there and getting after dust and grime that’s potentially built up during the winter months.
Organize as You Go
When cleaning a room, take the time to organize as you go. This will ensure that everything has a proper place and will make it easier to keep the room clean in the future. And don’t be afraid to involve the whole family in spring cleaning. This will not only make the task more manageable but it will also teach your children important life skills.
