The daffodils are blooming, the birds are tweeting but the house might still feel like it’s stuck in the winter blues. Spring cleaning is a popular tradition with homeowners that allows us to freshen up our homes and get a head start on chores in time for the long awaited warm weather. It can sometimes feel like a daunting task, but with our top tips you can spring into cleaning mode in no time!
Spring Cleaning room by room
Concentrating on one room at a time rather than trying to tackle your entire home from top to bottom is the most effective way of getting everything done. Having checklists is a good idea, so you can have a clear idea of what it is that needs to be done in each room before you start. It also reminds you of areas in your home that need a little more attention than others – we’re all guilty of neglecting rooms that often aren’t used over winter so don’t worry!
Organise the clutter
One of the biggest tasks for homeowners is clearing the clutter that has built up over time. Having a systematic approach to this will save you so much time and by sorting your clutter into categories like bin, give away or put away will make things easier for you as well. Another tip for you – when you have finished putting everything away, things that you no longer want can be disposed of or donated to charity straight away, giving you lots more space to enjoy your home this spring.
Get started on seasonal chores
Most chores are done seasonally, especially when it comes to preparing the home for the summer. Incorporating your seasonal tasks into your spring cleaning routine to get them out of the way early gives yourself plenty of time to enjoy the summer’s sun. For instance, tackling outdoor chores like cleaning the BBQ, your patio and the outside of your windows and doors.
All your windows and doors need is a quick wipe down with soapy water and a soft cloth, just make sure to dry off any excess water so there’s no water marks. Our window and door ranges are so easy to maintain, that you don’t have to worry about the upkeep of them very often, giving you more time to get started on your other jobs.
Establish new cleaning habits
A thorough spring clean that covers the entirety of your house is a great opportunity to establish ongoing cleaning habits. This helps you can keep on top of your tasks so that when it comes to spring next year, it’s not as daunting. Don’t try to do all of your spring cleaning in one day or over one weekend. Instead, go through your to-do list for as little as 15 minutes a day so you can get in the habit of tidying even after you’re done with your spring cleaning.
