One of the biggest problems homeowners face when it comes to spring cleaning is not knowing where to start. Looking at the entire house and all the chores that need to be completed can feel overwhelming - so much so that sometimes it can prevent people from starting. 

Try some of these spring cleaning tips to help tackle your spring cleaning in an organized fashion. With these tricks, your whole house will feel fresh and tidy in no time.

Approach the cleaning room by room

Instead of looking at the entire house, look at the projects room by room. This can help prevent it from feeling so overwhelming. If you want to spring clean the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, try focusing on the room that’s most important to you to get done first. This will help you get your cleaning accomplished in no time!

Focus on one task at a time

Break it down further- not only should you focus on one room at a time, but one task at a time. If you have the weekend free, set one day to clean out the fridge, for example, and the next day to focus on reorganizing the cupboards. This can help you feel more accomplished and make the end goal seem more attainable. If you have limited time to dedicate to cleaning, it can also help to dedicate 30 or 45 minutes every evening to reach your goal of a clean house for spring.

Organize into categories - trash, giveaway, keep

A big part of spring cleaning is decluttering. It’s easy to accumulate items that may no longer serve a purpose in your home or that your kids or other family members may have outgrown. Start by sorting items into three piles - trash, give away and keep. You’ll be surprised how quickly getting rid of items that are no longer useful to you helps make your home look a lot tidier.

Once you know how to tackle spring cleaning, don’t forget some important items that may get lost in the general cleaning process.

Wash your pillows

Everyone washes their pillowcases, but did you know your pillows can also carry a lot of dirt and germs? Most pillows are machine washable, and throwing them in the laundry will be just as clean as your pillowcases in no time!

Wipe down light fixtures

Light fixtures are prime spots to catch dust and small bugs in your home. It’s a good idea to wipe these down during your spring cleaning. Your home will look brighter just in time for the warmer weather.

Clean the cupboards - outside and in

Organizing kitchen cupboards is a big job, but it makes a huge difference! Don’t forget to wipe out the inside of the cupboards; they tend to collect a lot of dirt and grime before replacing the dishes. Check out more spring cleaning tips to get your house spick and span in no time here.
