Spring is here! You can look forward to warmer weather, rainstorms, chirping birds in the trees, and bunny rabbits in your yard. It’s also time for spring cleaning your house. In today’s blog from Decorating Den, we give you some tips for a successful spring cleaning.
Prioritize
Prioritize what needs to be done first. Do you have a room that looks neglected? Is there a space that looks like you haven’t cleaned it in a long time? Start with what needs the most cleaning first. Finishing the harder rooms first makes the rest of your spring cleaning easier. Decorating Den believes you can spruce up your home in very little time if you set a schedule and prioritize the major rooms first.
Get Rid of Clutter
Getting rid of clutter not only feels satisfying, but it also frees up space in your home and creates a cleaner environment. Several areas you might consider decluttering include your garage, spare rooms, playrooms, and storage areas. You don’t have to throw things away to declutter. You can improve your storage options with a proper boxing and shelving system. Consider donating old clothes to charity or selling old furniture in a yard sale. Decorating Den has lots of storage ideas that can make your space more efficient and inviting.
Collect as Much Dirt and Dust as Possible
HEPA filters catch very small particles in your vacuum that are much smaller than dust and dirt. HEPA filters collect dander, allergens, and even impurities from the air. Investing in a HEPA vacuum for spring cleaning is a great way to improve your indoor air quality. Consider replacing your ordinary air filter with a HEPA filter to keep even more dust and dirt at bay. A dust-free home is a clean home!
Work From Top to Bottom
Dirt, debris, and dust travel from the top to the bottom thanks to gravity. Start by cleaning your ceiling first, and then work down to your floor. Clean off your ceiling lights and ceiling fans first, then any high shelves, bookcases, and tall lamps. Work on furniture, chairs, side tables, and your coffee table. Finally, clean the floor and deep clean your carpet.
Go Green
Decorating Den loves the color green. It’s a cool color that bespeaks prosperity, plants, and life. But that’s not the green we mean in this case. We mean using eco-friendly cleaning products to spring clean your home. Steamers sanitize and sterilize surfaces without harsh chemicals. Citrus- and plant-based cleaners leave a fresh scent afterward. You get the satisfaction of cleaning your home and saving the environment at the same time!
