Springclean your way into Summer Many of us find ourselves spending more time at home than ever, it’s a great opportunity to be rid off the winter blues and spruce up the space for Summer with some cleaning. Below are some tips to get you springing into action:
Tip #1 - Clean room-by-room Focusing your attention on one space at a time can help you to break things up. Create a checklist beforehand so you have a guide when you work your way through.
Tip #2 – Collate what tools you’ll need to clean Before you start, collect all of the cleaning supplies you need. This might include: vacuum, mop and bucket, window cleaner, toilet cleaner, dusters and microfibre cloths.
Tip #3 – Organise and clear the clutter When going through each room, sort your belongings into four categories – rubbish, donate, put-away (requires regular use) and store (items you cannot part with but don’t need on a regular basis).
Tip #4 - Get the family involved If you need a little help, why not get the family involved? It can be a great time of year to get the family working together. Throw on some music or a wee incentive to get the work done.
Tip #5 - Tackle the seasonal chores Get onto the tasks that need to be done seasonally e.g. outdoor chores like cleaning windows and grills.
Tip #6 - Establish new cleaning habits It’s a good time to also make some new ongoing cleaning habits to make things a little bit easier as you go along. Simple 15-minute clean up routines every few days can make it remarkably easy to keep your home clean and tidy all year long!
