More Spring Cleaning Tips




Simplify your cleaning supplies. Many times I see people with cleaning supplies overflowing under their kitchen sink, filling up a linen closet on the second floor and spilling out into bathrooms. If you pull out all of the cleaning supplies and look at them collectively you can start to see many duplicate items, empty bottles and old supplies that haven’t been touched in years because they were buried in the back pile. Remember too many choices can be just as bad as too few.

My suggestion is just keep the basics. Most houses can be cleaned with window cleaner, a multi-purpose solution, a tub and tile cleaner, bleach, toilet bowl cleaners, dusting polish and a good floor cleaner. Be careful not to fall into the trap of buying all the newest products without throwing out some of the old ones that haven’t worked. Cleaning is so much easier when you only have a few choices to deal with and one central location to grab them. Inventorying supplies is also a cinch because you will quickly see when items are running low. You will save money, space and avoid overbuying items you don’t need.

Easy access to your cleaning supplies will also make it much easier to grab what you need and get the job done. Paring down supplies will allow you to have a kit that you just pull out when you are ready to straighten everything out. Put your most essential supplies in a bucket that you can take from room to room. Make sure your vacuum is not jammed in a closet that makes it so difficult to get out that you never want to use it. Items like mop and broom holders mounted inside a closet, basement or garage wall can also make these items easily accessible and more appealing to use.

Spring cleaning time is here and there is no better time to put these items in order so you can breeze through your responsibilities and begin enjoying the warm weather in your free time.

Spring Cleaning Tips

Many of us fall into the trap of using our free time just to keep up with what is around us. I live in a small apartment by myself and I still find it difficult to keep everything in order! Throw in a family or a spouse that doesn’t care as much about keeping order and you could be saying good bye to your spare time just to get it together each week.

Most people do not have the luxury of hiring a cleaning service. And even those that do can do a great injustice to the house during the time between visits. Being as organized and as simple as possible in your home will help decrease the time and energy you must place on keeping everything clean and dust free.

One of the first things that I suggest is really simplifying your surface areas. The more small knick knacks, picture frames, candles etc. you have taking up your counters, bookshelves and tables the more you are going to have to clean. In addition to creating more surfaces to clean, too many of these types of objects in a space can create visual clutter that detracts your eyes from focusing on the beauty of the pieces.

Rotate your pictures instead of adding a new frame every time you want to show off a new photo. Put away candles that you are not currently burning. Focus on displaying pieces that have meaning and decorative impact on your room not just throwing things up on shelves because there is a space for them. By editing these small things dusting will be much easier and your room will feel more streamlined.
