After a long winter, an annual deep-spring clean is the perfect way to liven up your home. For many, the satisfaction of thorough spring cleaning doesn’t come until after all the work is finished. However, this sizable task doesn’t have to be something to dread. With the right tips and management, this can turn into an easier to handle job and even some fun for the family.
Here’s your ultimate spring-cleaning checklist.
Some Simple Tips to Get You Started
Make sure you stock up on any cleaning supplies you’ll need before starting. Being mid-way through cleaning, just to find out you ran out of something, will surely be a pain!
Remember to start cleaning from top to bottom! Otherwise you’ll end up cleaning the floors twice. Lucky for you, our spring-cleaning checklist is already ordered from top-to-bottom!
Lastly, enjoy yourself. This isn’t a task that needs to be done in one day. You can split it up and even clean as little as a room a day to avoid overwhelming yourself. Play some good music, talk with you family or maybe even make a game out of it!
