Spring Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most frequently used spaces in the house, and it can accumulate clutter quickly! To begin your spring cleaning, start in the cupboards. Check for any expired items and throw them away, then organise your remaining items by type. Next, move on to your fridge and freezer, throwing away any expired or unused food items. Give the shelves and drawers a good clean using warm, soapy water. Finally, tackle your countertops, wiping them down with a disinfectant and organising any small appliances or utensils.

Living Room

Your living room is the hub of your home, so keeping it tidy is essential. Begin by dusting electronics including your TV, sound system, and any gaming consoles. Don't forget to clean your blinds or curtains to get rid of any dust. Then, take the opportunity to declutter your shelves and coffee table. Consider donating any items you no longer use or need to charity. Finally, hoover your carpets or clean your wood floors to give them a fresh look!

Bedroom

Your bedroom is where you begin and end your day, so keeping it clean and organised is essential. Start by washing all of your sheets, pillowcases and duvet. Then, go through your wardrobe and drawers, removing any items you haven't worn in the past year. Consider donating these items to charity or maybe even selling them online. This not only clears up space in your wardrobe but also helps someone in need. Finally, clean under your bed and hoover your floors.

Bathroom

Your bathroom is an area that requires regular cleaning, but a deep clean is particularly important every now and then. Start by scrubbing your toilet and shower, then wipe down your sink, don't forget the grout! It might be worth considering replacing any old or worn towels and bath mats. Finally, declutter your cabinets and any storage you might have, throwing away any expired or unused hygiene products.


Kids Toys

If you have children, you know their toys can accumulate quickly and take up valuable space in your home. Take the opportunity to declutter by removing any toys your kids have outgrown or no longer play with. These toys could be donated to charity or you could give them to friends or family members with younger children. Also, consider using storage bins to keep toys in their designated home.

General Areas

Giving your home a deep clean means getting into all the corners and doing the smaller jobs you often forget about. Be sure to give your skirting boards a wipe down with a wet cloth as well as any blinds, curtain poles, door frames and shelves. Don't forget to wipe down the inside of each window and any mirrors within the home.

Spring cleaning is a great way to declutter, organise, and refresh your home. By following these tips, you can tackle each room in your house and start the season off on the right foot. Remember, the key to successful spring cleaning is to take it one room at a time and be patient with the process.
