How to Maintain your New Home with a Regular Spring Clean
TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP THAT ‘NEW HOME FEELING.
- Develop a Cleaning Schedule The first step to maintaining a clean home is to develop a cleaning schedule. This schedule should outline which areas of your home need to be cleaned and when. For example, you could schedule a deep spring clean for every three months and regular cleaning for every two weeks. Having a cleaning schedule ensures that you don’t forget to clean certain areas of your home and that cleaning tasks are spread out evenly over time.
- Declutter The next step is to declutter your home. Before you start your spring clean, go through your belongings and get rid of anything that you don’t need or use anymore. This will make cleaning much easier as you won’t have to clean around unnecessary items. You can donate items that are still in good condition, and recycle or dispose of anything that is no longer usable.
- Dust and Vacuum Dusting and vacuuming are essential components of a spring clean. Start by dusting all surfaces, including shelves, cabinets, and picture frames. Use a microfiber cloth or a dusting wand to reach high surfaces. Once you have dusted, vacuum all floors, including carpets, rugs, and hard floors. Pay special attention to corners and edges, where dust and dirt tend to accumulate.
- Clean Windows Windows are often overlooked during regular cleaning, but they can become very dirty over time. To clean your windows, start by wiping them down with a dry cloth to remove any loose dirt or dust. Then, use a glass cleaner and a squeegee to clean the windows. Make sure to wipe away any streaks with a clean cloth.
- Scrub Floors and Walls Spring cleaning is the perfect time to give your floors and walls a good scrubbing. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean hard floors, and a sponge or cloth to scrub walls. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Deep/ Spring Clean Appliances
Appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and dishwashers can accumulate dirt and grime over time. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean these appliances thoroughly. Make sure to clean the inside and outside of each appliance, including any crevices or corners.
Spring Clean Bathrooms
Bathrooms are a breeding ground for bacteria and germs, making them an essential part of your spring clean. Use a bathroom cleaner to clean the toilet, sink, and shower or bathtub. Pay special attention to the grout, which can accumulate dirt and mold over time. Also, don’t forget to clean the shower curtain and bath mat.
Spring Clean and Organize Closets
Closets can become cluttered and disorganized over time. Spring cleaning is the perfect time to clean and organize your closets. Start by removing everything from the closet and sorting it into piles of items to keep, donate, or throw away. Then, clean the closet thoroughly and organize your belongings, putting items that you use frequently at the front.
Spring Clean and Dust Furniture
Furniture can accumulate dust and dirt over time, making it look dull and dingy. Use a furniture polish or a microfiber cloth to dust and clean all furniture in your home. Pay special attention to areas that are often overlooked, such as the tops of bookshelves and the undersides of tables.
