Winter is here but Spring is not far away. When the birds begin to sing and the nature blooms with fresh flowers and leaves, don’t you feel the need to clean up your home and get rid of those winter blues? As the air gets warmer and nature spells happiness in the atmosphere, rejuvenate your space and catch up with Mother Earth by doing a deep cleaning; gear up for the hectic months of Spring and Summer!
Here are some house cleaning tips for the Spring months:
Start from the entrance
The entrance to your home also impacts the curb appeal. This is the place that your guests first look at and you do not want to make that first impression go wrong! If you have mats on the outside and inside of your entrance, make sure to clean them up. Use a cleaning solution and a scrub brush to thoroughly clean your door mats; since these mats take most of the dirt when people enter your home, ensure to wash them often to maintain cleanliness.
Clean Upholstery and Carpets
It doesn’t matter whether you rent a machine, do it yourself or hire a cleaning service; carpets and upholstery will require deep cleaning in order to get rid of germs, oil and dirt that would have accumulated during the chilling days.
Floors deserve the attention too!
How can you forget the floors? In order to remove all dirt, sand and other particles that might have accumulated during the winter, clean up your floors. However, since cleaning method depends upon the kind of flooring (Tiles, Marble, Wood), take care and clean accordingly to ultimately make them sparkling and spotless.
Go room-by-room
You cannot deep clean your entire house in a day or two. Make a check list and approach one room a day to ensure effective cleaning. Skip items or furniture that have been recently cleaned and focus on those that are not attended to. Clean the bed, tables, lights, books and other items that are lying around and provide them with their original look. It might take a whole week or even more, but do not rush or be in a hurry to finish the cleaning. Take your time and clean efficiently.
Get rid of the clutter
Whenever you come across items that you no longer use or need, make it a point to dispose them. Have a large bin by your side when you are cleaning and put those unwanted items into it. Once the cleaning is complete, recheck those items; if you still feel they are not required, clear them off. On the other hand, if you feel they might be required in the future, store them neatly in a closed cabinet. Spring is also a good time to donate your items to societal or good causes.
Care your outdoors
Windows, grills and Patios deserve a makeover too. Even though they do not require regular cleaning, doing it once or twice in a year can help you transform the look of your home. Spring is the perfect time to bring your outdoors back to their glory. Cleaning them is simple; you can either do it manually or hire a professional service.
Clean your kitchen
Kitchen is not like the other rooms. It requires special care. Start cleaning from left to right and top to bottom to effectively clean this part of your house. Open the windows and kitchen cabinets first and let the fresh air from outside enter. Clean the stove with an effective solution and wipe off the grease and dirt from the floor, shelves and cabinet surfaces. This is the space where you cook and eat every day, hence ensure to maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
Remove unwanted items on surfaces
The more the items on surfaces, the harder to clean. Check out the items that are displayed or accommodated on flat surfaces of your house and remove those that you feel are unnecessary. Store them in a separate place where you feel would be appropriate. This makes it easy for you to clean and maintain.
Have you checked the corners?
Your house is clean if the corners are clean. Yes, you read it right! Check each and every corner; if you find dust or dirt, clean it with the tools you have. A small toothbrush might just be the ideal tool to clean these portions.
For better and faster cleaning, involve your family members in dusting, washing, vacuuming, scrubbing and other small cleaning chores and instill a sense of responsibility within them. You can even try to make cleaning fun by rewarding the helpers.
