Spring Cleaning Tips
|
Spring cleaning is a great way to clear your mind and bounce into a new season with a fresh start, but it can also be overwhelming. With these 5 tips, spring cleaning is easy breezy and you can avoid the irrefutable urge to pull your hair out while getting it done. 1. One Room at a Time |
Declutter, clean, and organize one room at a time. Cleaning bits and pieces all over your house at once will make the hefty task of spring cleaning very overwhelming. You probably want to start with the rooms in your home that will be the toughest to organize. That way, it will get easier as you go
2. Make a Schedule
You know when you say you’re going to do something, and when the time comes, you think, “nope, I’ll do that later.” It’s kind of like how having a personal trainer to guide you through a workout makes you way more motivated to finish versus doing it on your own. Make a spring cleaning schedule with the order of rooms you will be cleaning. Treat it like a checklist, and mark those rooms “done” as you go. It will make you feel a lot more accomplished when you do finish a room and keep you on track for the next task
3. Declutter
Don’t just clean, dust, and reorganize your home. It’s essential to go through junk drawers, clothes, and other storage spaces to eliminate anything that isn’t useful anymore. While decluttering, think, “when is the last time I used this?” If it’s been a while, it’s probably safe to get rid of. When it comes to clothing, shoes and toys, if you haven’t used them in the past year, it’s time to let them go. Some houseware could also be sitting for a while, occupying space and kitchen, this is also items you could put aside during cluttering.
After all, a cluttered home makes a cluttered mind.
Remember, some items can’t be reusable, as the gold here is to separate the trash from the useable. Accomplishing these steps, you can
consider donating them to Qualitown Thrift Store. You help keep millions of pounds of donatable goods out of landfills by doing this. Plus, your donations benefit our local community shoppers and our homeless program.
4. Work from Top to Bottom
These steps are crucial in cleaning your home and making sure you work smarter, not harder. Always work from the top of the room to the bottom to make sure you aren’t doubling your work. When you clean off a countertop and then dust the top of a ceiling fan, you will have to go back and wipe that countertop down again. We want to be efficient with the way we clean!
5. Reward Yourself
Look, spring cleaning is no joke. It’s important to reward yourself for the intelligent work you have put in. You may want to reward yourself after each room you finish cleaning. Or you might spread out the task over a weekend and reward yourself at the end of each day with a yummy steak dinner, a massive dessert, a date night with yourself and a good movie.
What a delicious meal.
I hope this idea works as a cleanup strategy
