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!
