Spring is in the air! This means it's time to start thinking about summer BBQs, pool parties, and spending time outdoors. But first, you'll need to give your home a good clean-up. Check out these Spring cleaning tips to help declutter your home. From sorting through your belongings to getting rid of unnecessary items, we've got you covered. So get started and make this the best spring ever!
Keep, donate, and trash
Start by going through your belongings and sorting them into three piles: keep, donate, and trash. The process of decluttering your home can be a daunting one, but it is vital if you want to make room for new items. Start by going through all the clutter in order and sorting out what should go where so that when everything has been reduced down, even more, there will only ever be three piles:
- Keep anything worth keeping. It is important not to be sentimental about items that could take up space in your home. Try to keep only what you need for its current use because memories often linger on these cherished possessions and can make things feel more permanent than they actually are!
- Clear out your home by donating items you no longer need or want to charitable organizations. This is an excellent way for people who are feeling overwhelmed with all their stuff, and it's also helpful if there are some specific things in mind that a particular organization could use!
- You can't be too careful about the items in your home. Be sure to get rid of any broken or damaged pieces, so they don't take up space and end up costing more money! Try recycling some things too - not only does this help reduce waste but also protects our environment by limiting pollution caused by landfills being filled with these sorts of trash every day.
After You Declutter Your Home, Start Cleaning!
After putting all those items in boxes or bags and packing them away, now's a great time for deep-cleaning!
Gently dust all surfaces, vacuum carpets, and rugs to remove any dirt or allergens before mopping floors. Make sure you also clean hard-to-reach places like ceiling fans and baseboards with a solution that is safe for your family's health!
Next, tackle the bathroom by cleaning the toilet, sink, and shower/bathtub. Be sure to scrub all surfaces thoroughly to remove any dirt and grime. A tub or shower needs special attention because water will get stuck on it easier than other things. Use cleaners made especially with tough stains such as mildewed areas that need strong chemicals combined into one product rather than many different ones used separately. This saves money over time when properly cared for.
Finally, move on to the kitchen. Start by washing dishes, then wipe down countertops and appliances. Don't forget to sweep and mop the floor when you're done.
After you've finished cleaning your home, it's time to enjoy the warmer weather! Invite friends over for a BBQ, have a picnic in the park, or just spend some time outdoors. Whatever you do, make sure to enjoy your clean and clutter-free home.
