5 Tips To Help You Breeze Through Spring Cleaning 

Spring has officially sprung, which means it's time for spring cleaning! We know spring cleaning can be a massive undertaking, but we've put together a few tips to help you through the process. 

1. Make a List: Spring cleaning can make you feel overwhelmed. You know you need to spring clean, but where do you begin? Should you start in the kitchen or the bedrooms, or should you tackle the big things first and come back to clean the small tasks later? Making a list takes the guesswork out of that. To start, take a look around your home. Ask yourself what areas do you skip during your routine cleaning? That is the best place to start. Regardless of where you choose to start, having a list will keep you focused and on task. Just work from room to room. 
2. Always work from Top to Bottom:  An important tip when you are spring cleaning; is always start from the ceiling and work your way down. Cleaning this way forces the dust and debris downward and keeps you from having to re-dust or re-clean your space. If you have a vacuum with an extension hose, use it to get cobwebs and dust from your ceilings, fans, and other high places. Then dust your furniture and other items before vacuuming all the dust and debris off your floors. 
3. Walls Need Love Too: While your spring cleaning, don't forget about your walls. You clean your floors and furniture, but how often do you clean your walls? To clean your walls, first lightly dust working from top to bottom. Then wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth from top to bottom. If your home has high walls, use a microfiber mop with a long handle to clean those hard-to-reach places. Don't forget your baseboards and door frames! 
4. Windows: Wait for an overcast day to clean your windows. Starting on the shady side of the house, raise your blinds or shades, spray your windows with glass cleaner and wipe them down with a microfiber cloth. Lower your blinds or shades and dust using a dry microfiber cloth or duster working from top to bottom. You can also use your vacuum with a soft dusting attachment and a low suction setting. Flip the blinds and repeat. 
5. Let Your Spring Cleaning Set a New Tone: Spring is the perfect time to make small changes to make your home feel light and fresh. Change up your space by adding new colorful throw pillows, art, or new table decor. Replacing items like bedding, towels, or window treatments can transform your rooms for spring and summer.
