It helps you break the task into manageable parts, ensuring you neither miss any areas nor become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work. Take a walk around your home with a notebook and list down all the areas you want to work on. Don't skip any neglected spots like the laundry room. Here are some areas to keep in mind:
• Big ticket items like carpets, curtains, and upholstery
• The often-forgotten spaces such as the pantry, under the bed, and inside appliances
• Season-specific tasks like cleaning outdoor furniture.
• Prioritize areas in need of attention and extra supplies.
• Focus on high-traffic spaces like the kitchen and bathrooms first. Guest rooms can wait if they're rarely used.
• Create a schedule to tackle cleaning tasks efficiently.
• Dedicate one room per day or set aside a whole weekend for organization.
• Organize cleaning supplies. Make sure you've got a range of tools, from scrub brushes and sponges to dusting wands and vacuum attachments. Pro tip: create a cleaning caddy with your most-used items to easily transport them around the house.
Certain spots in the house always seem to be particularly troublesome. Here’s how to handle them:
• Bathrooms: Use a disinfecting cleaner for surfaces. Pay special attention to grout and drains, which can harbor mold and mildew.
• Kitchen: Degrease appliances and surfaces. Defrost the fridge and clean out the freezer. Don’t forget to remove the stove’s drip pans — or clean beneath them if they're sealed burners!
• Bedrooms: Flip mattresses, wash bedding, and vacuum pillows and comforters, taking care to use the appropriate settings to avoid damage.
• Living Areas: Refresh couch cushions by fluffing them and vacuuming between and underneath. Address any stains on carpets or upholstery.
Decluttering is a vital part of spring cleaning and can make the overall process much more efficient.
The Four-Box Method- Organize your items into four categories: trash, donate, keep, or relocate. Be sure to get a receipt for anything you donate.
