After an intense winter,
there is nothing better than the prospect of warmer weather. With spring just
around the corner, we’re starting to see bathing suit displays, patio furniture
and other reminders that our favorite season is on its way! With the idea of
blue skies and a lack of snow banks, we’re thinking the term “spring cleaning”
is also being tossed around. Check out some simple cleaning tips to get your
home ready!
· Do
you have roommates?
It’s important that you ring in the
new season of your home with your roommates and those you live with. You can
reorganize rooms, do a kitchen and grocery restock and put time into parts of
the house that you all use together.
· Make
a day of it
Time is the most important part of
the process. Take a day or so to rejuvenate your home and help it adjust to the
season. It might be a good idea to clear your schedule for a weekend, but be
sure to take frequent breaks to avoid getting overwhelmed when cleaning!
· Create
a New Mood
Winter brings the feeling of indoor
warmth and family togetherness, and we’re guilty of stocking up on candles that
reflect the season. Spring is ready to take us outdoors on vacations and to the
water. You can change the mood in your home with simple things, such as swapping
out the cookie and pine needle candles, for more floral and tropical smells.
· Dust,
Dust, Dust
Since you likely haven’t used your
ceiling fans in a couple months, be sure to wear gloves and have plenty of
clothes on hand when dusting fans and light fixtures.
· Organize,
Trash, and Restructure
Out with the old, and in with the
new. Spring is a great time to go through your clothes and get rid of items you
no longer wear. You may also need to swap out your coats and scarves for shorts
and flip-flops stored during winter.
· Food
is a must
The most important thing is to make
sure you clean your fridge out. Winter foods are full of holiday desserts and
comfort items, so clean out your fridge and get it ready for the beginning of
the barbecue season!
