Simplify Your Spring Cleaning
It may look intimidating but…
- Spring cleaning can often be easier said than done. But this doesn’t have to be. If you take it day by day, you will have the whole house done in no time. Try cleaning one room a day. I recently did some major cleaning in our home office. Instead of cleaning the whole thing in one day, I spaced it out over the weekend spending and hour or two at it each day.
- Start the big jobs first. Tackle the largest rooms or the ones with the most clutter first. After you get the big stuff out of the way, you’ll feel better. The remaining work won’t be as hard.
Make it fun
Start at the top:
- When cleaning you should always start at the top. Whether you are starting from the top of a bookshelf or the top of your windows, working your way from the top to bottom is the best way to get your home the cleanest. Spring cleaning your attic first also makes it easier to make room for what you will remove from the bottom floor of your home. If you don’t have an attic, just start at the main rooms in your home and go from there.
Don’t skip:
- It may take some time to get it all don’t but don’t cut any corners. When the house is completely clean, the areas that were skipped will stand out even more. The air will even smell better when you get all of the crevices and corners thoroughly cleaned.
- Get the family to gather everything that they don’t wear, or have grown out of. Donate them to a charity. When you get rid of things, you make room for God to bless you with more.
Budget:
- When you are on a budget, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on cleaning products. The Dollar Store is a great place to find whatever you need to effectively spring clean your home.
