Spring is finally here! This means that it is time for the annual spring cleaning marathon. If this is something new to you and you have absolutely no idea from where to start, try sticking to these rules:
- Clean only after you declutter and organise your place
- Repeat Step 1 in your garden or backyard
- Set some time aside for this seasonal chore
- Plan it through
- Arm yourself with cleaning products and tools
If you have already started to feel overwhelmed by all the work you need to do, know that we have prepared a special treat for you at the end of this article – the world’s best spring cleaning hack.
1. It is not just about cleaning
The biggest mistake rookie spring cleaners do is to assume that all they need to do to restore the order in their home after the long and cold winter is to clean. Before you get to that phase you will first need to declutter every room in your property and to organise it. If you do not take care of the piles of junk mail on the floor or the mess in your wardrobe now, things will only keep getting worse and worse.
2. It is not just about your home
If you have a garden, you will need to remove any clutter and foliage from there too. Cutting corners will not help you do a good job out of it. So, roll up your sleeves and spring clean your backyard.
3. Spare at least a weekend of your spring
We hate to break it to you but it will take you more than an hour or even a day to wrap it all up. Dedicate one full weekend at the very least. If you are sharing your home with someone else, involve them too. Assign tasks to everyone in your household to speed up the process.
4. Have a plan
Do not clean on a random basis. Go online and download a spring cleaning checklist. Follow it and you will work in a very organised manner.
5. Get some tools and supplies
Even if you have a microfiber cloth and some basic cleaning supplies and products, get more of them. They will quickly get dirty or used-up. Therefore, unless you want to make several trips to the shop while you are spring cleaning, take care of these details in advance.
Take breaks
You will make your work more efficient if you take a break every couple of hours or so. Even just 10 minutes can help you feel refreshed and rested. Go and grab a quick snack or enjoy a cup of tea. Do not race against the clock.
World’s best spring cleaning hack
Although you may not be able to skip cleaning your house or flat in the spring, you can make this task several times easier and quicker. You can achieve that if you make an effort to regularly clean your home. But do not limit yourself only to vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, etc. Take things a little further and opt for quality deep cleaning in London every 3-6 months. In that way, you will reduce your spring cleaning list mainly to tasks related to organising and decluttering.
