Set out the patio furniture
It is a hassle to get the furniture out of your basement or garage, but hey it is worth it setting the tables and chairs outside, particularly after being cooped up all winter long and just at the same period, you look forward to sitting outside during a nice and warm spring day. Make sure you wipe down all the chairs and tables thoroughly with soap and water after you set them outside. Also, if you have seat cushions for the chairs, wipe and wash those down as well.
Mop and Dust every room in the home
After dealing with people tracking in the snow, salt, and dirt while walking inside during the winter, spring is perfect time to use a mop to clean the floors. Get a mop, bucket, dust rag and some cleaning products (Windex, Pine Sol, Clorox, etc.) and get busy. Gather newspapers, magazines, toys, crayons, or whatever might be lying around that should not be. Take those items and put them where they belong. Once you have finished one room you can move onto the next. If you have carpet in your living room and the dining room floor, make use of the vacuum to sweep the each room to get rid of dirt as well as other debris. If you don’t want to do that, hire a professional carpet cleaner to do the job. Furthermore, do not throw what you consider as trash all at once. You will never know what may be actually made out of what you first thought to be garbage. You can also, reduce, re-use and recycle. You have all it takes to help Mother Earth. A green environment is what our future generation needs.
Finish one room at a time
Don’t leave a room to go and clean another one unless you are done with the first. If you continuously leave tasks incomplete, you may end up not finishing anything at all. You can also get rid of those objects you don’t need any more. Although some items may have great memories behind them, if they are taking up too much space then maybe it is time to reconsider getting rid of them.
Ask for help if you can
Get your family or friends involved and offer them incentives for helping you. Equip each person with a bag they can keep on them filled with cleaning materials and a list. Spring cleaning can be a chance for the whole family to come together. Everyone sharing the house should lend a hand.
Have the right attitude
Spring cleaning can even be fun if you all have fun and the right music. Just be careful not to get too distracted because then the work can really suffer.
