Tips for the perfect spring clean

Spring cleaning is a great way to get rid of your winter blues and clean up your home.

This intense project can seem like a lot to take on and it can be difficult to get going.

However, if you break it down into a simple process, spring cleaning can suddenly seem a lot less daunting.

Up and down cleaning

The most efficient way to get your house cleaner with less work is to clean up to down.

What this means is that you should begin cleaning things up high first, and work to the floor.

For example, clean and wipe your stove and kitchen counters before you mop, so you don't end up with crumbs on your freshly cleaned floor.

Also, try to start on the second level of your home – bedrooms are easier to start with so you won't get worn out quickly and lose momentum.

Wintry Windows

Winter leaves its mark on your windows, allowing dirt, grime and dead bugs to build up in the space between the panes and the screen.

When spring comes, opening those windows to let in a breeze can be a shock when you find all the mess that has built up over the winter.

Fixing the grime can be difficult, but with the right tools, it'll be a breeze.

The Mr Clean Magic Eraser  is a great way to clean out those wintry windows.

It whisks dirt away instantly and makes it simple to follow behind with Windex and a paper towel for a perfect clean.

Because of the gross nature of what you're cleaning and the chemicals you're using, it's a good idea to wear a pair of disposable rubber gloves.

Cleaning your floors

If you have pets or kids, you probably clean your floors once about once a week, so you may wonder why they need any special treatment during spring cleaning. To really give your floors a deep clean, you'll need to do things a little differently. Tile

Two mixtures that really clean tile and grout well when used with a mop are either vinegar/water/lemon juice or bleach/water.

Both work exceptionally well when you mop vigorously; make sure you choose based on which smell you mind the least.

Carpet

Professional steam cleaning is the only way to go if you want to know with absolute certainty that your carpets are dirt and dander free.

Although you may think it's an expensive process, most local cleaners offer savings in the spring months; they'll clean a variety of rooms for one price that is discounted.

You'll end up saving a lot of money and your home will be exceptionally clean.

The cleaning takes several hours and you can't walk on the carpets until they dry, so plan accordingly.

Hopefully stress-free spring cleaning is now at your fingertips, so enjoy your results!
