Can you see it? The days are slowly getting longer as we creep into Spring. What does that mean for our homes? It means that it’s time to get those mops out and give them the refresh that they deserve. A long winter can mean minimal cleaning to those tricky spots. Now, it is time to tackle them!
- The Inside AND Outside of Your Windows
The inside of our windows probably gets a good wipe a few times throughout the winter. However, during our cold Alberta winter, cleaning the outside is nearly impossible. Having lovely spring weather on your side will help you get this task done and you will truly see a difference.
- Your Appliances
Give your stove, refrigerator and dish washer the love they deserve this spring! Pull out your fridge and stove and clean underneath. You will be surprised by the things that have collected over the winter months. Also, now is a good time to scrub the inside of these appliances as well. While they are out, you might as well, right?
- Rugs
Spring cleaning is an excellent time to get rid of some of the dust that has been floating around your home all winter. A great way to do that? Give your rugs a good shake outside. You will be surprised at just how much dust collects over the winter months.
- Clothes
As we move into spring and then summer, this is a great time to eliminate some of the clothes that you avoided all winter. Not only is donating your old clothes a great way to clean your space, it is also incredibly kind to those in need.
A GREAT TIP: When doing laundry, always put your fresh laundry at the front of your closet. In time, this will push to the back all of the items that you never wear. This will make your spring cleaning a little bit easier and truly answer the question, “Do I wear that?”
- Textiles & Lines
Your area rugs aren’t the only things that collect dust during the winter season. Your curtains, comforters, couch throws, and sheets all contribute to a stuffy home. Giving these items a good spring clean will make everything feel a little fresher.
Spring is a great time to give your home the extra cleaning boost that it needs. These are just a few examples of ways to prepare your home for the spring and summer months. Spring is all about longer days, more energy and fresh starts. There is nothing more refreshing than a clean home! And once the cleaning is all done – remember to take the time to enjoy the Spring weather.
