Get the Jump on Spring with these Simple Steps to a Comprehensive Spring Cleaning!


Spring cleaning isn't what it used to be.  In today's busy households, it can be difficult for one parent, let alone two, to find the time to dedicate to a big annual floor-to-ceiling deep cleaning.  One solution is to prioritize your tasks, taking a more realistic approach to home cleaning and organizing.

First, approach your cleaning by room rather than by chore (i.e. dusting or scrubbing the whole house). Then, by separating spring must-do's from warmer-weather good -to-get done's, you can get essential tasks out of the way and apportion other work for later in the spring or early summer.  

Here are some common sense strategies to help refresh your home without putting your life on hold this season.

KITCHEN
Spring Cleaning Must Do: 
  • Deep-Clean fridge and freezer
  • Sort and file items in junk drawer (look for income tax receipts
  • Self-clean oven interior if needed
  • Clean window and exteriors
Can do later:  Almost any and all cleaning can be divided up and conquered year-round, including detailing tile, deep-cleaning and conditioning wood, washing walls and cleaning light fixtures.

BATHROOMS
Spring Cleaning Must Do:    
  • Cleaning window interiors and exteriors
  • Clean and empty drawers, throw away outdated makeup
Can do later: Almost any and all cleaning can be divided up and conquered year-round, including detailing tile and grout, washing walls, cleaning light fixtures.



LIVING AREAS
Spring Cleaning Must Do:
  • Replace winter drapery with summer curtains and send the former to the dry cleaners
  • Clean light fixtures
  • Store any knickknacks that were on disploy over winter, replace with spring/summer accessories or fresh flowers.
Can do later: Almost any and all cleaning can be divided up and conquered year-round, including washing walls, cleaning molding and baseboards, cleaning and polishing wood, cleaning and protecting leather furniture. (If you can postpone larger cleaning                                                 tasks to summer, it may render the overall spring project less daunting).

BASEMENT/GARAGE
Spring Cleaning Must Do:
  • Get rid of junk--donate items in good condition, dispose of broken items
  • Check furnace filters and replace if needed
Can do later: Shop-vac any dust or debris from workshop, mop floors, clean windows inside and out.



CLOSETS

Spring Cleaning Must Do:
  • Sort, clean and pack away winter clothing and sports gear and footwear, donating items no longer needed and disposing of any damaged items.
Can do later: Install a customized closet if desired








It may still be winter, however you can get ahead of the game now especially when you need to be inside anyway!



Happy Cleaning!
