Start by decluttering each room in your home. Donate or recycle items you no longer need or use.
I like to schedule a donation pickup online so I don’t have to make a separate trip to donate my used items. I use www.pickuplease.org. Invest in storage solutions such as baskets or bins to keep things organized. A clutter-free environment can do wonders for your mental well-being and make your home feel more spacious.
Give your appliances some TLC by cleaning out the dust, grime, and food residue that has accumulated over the winter months.
This includes your refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine. Not only will they look better, but they’ll also work more efficiently.
Don’t forget about your windows and screens!
Wipe down the glass to let more natural light into your home. Clean the screens to prevent dust and pollen buildup, especially as allergy season kicks into high gear. At Landers Cleaning we like to use glass rags for the cleanest window shine.
Dust has a sneaky way of accumulating in the corners of our homes.
Take the time to dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, baseboards, and any other overlooked areas. Follow up with a thorough vacuuming to rid your carpets and rugs of dirt and allergens.
Wash or dry clean curtains, pillow covers, and bedding to remove dust and odors.
Consider flipping or rotating your mattresses for even wear and a more comfortable night’s sleep.
Spring cleaning isn’t just limited to the indoors. Take some time to clean up your outdoor space as well.
Sweep away debris from pathways and patios or use a blower for a bigger mess. Prune overgrown shrubs and freshen up your garden beds with new mulch or soil. Wipe down your outdoor furniture of any grime that built up over the winter.
As you tackle your Spring cleaning checklist, remember to take breaks and pace yourself. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a spotless home.
Enlist the help of family members or consider hiring a professional cleaning service (check out our Seasonal Cleaning Services here) like Landers Cleaning to lighten the load. Spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about embracing a fresh start and welcoming the new season with open arms. So, put on your favorite playlist, pour yourself a refreshing drink, and let’s make your home shine brighter than the springtime sun.
