Winter is receding, and the bloom season is closing in. With that, the surroundings feel more refreshing and renewed. But the same is not the case with your home. Winter leaves its traces behind in the form of dust, dirt, and grime accumulation, which is enough for bacteria, viruses, and other allergens to creep in and linger in your home’s deep, dark corners. Spring cleaning is a crucial activity that everyone follows as a tradition. But every time, only one thought captures the mind – where to begin? We have got you covered with the ultimate spring cleaning preparation guide that will help you prepare your home well for the season of bloom, renewal, and happiness.
Let’s dive into the steps to transform your home into a springtime sanctuary.
Declutter and Breathe Again
Spring is all about renewal. So, why not start fresh by getting rid of all the things that serve no use except taking up valuable space that you could use for something productive? A cluttered home is distracting and stressful, and it feels as if you can’t even breathe in that space. So, begin with decluttering so that you can de-stress and breathe.
- Work on cleaning your closet by packing away all your winter wear. Instead, swap all that with breezy outfits perfect for the spring.
- Next, move on to cleaning up your kitchen, as it will surely be full of expired products that you must have stocked up on due to your winter cravings.
- Remember to declutter the surfaces where you might have piled up used clothes, keys, mail, and other random items.
These simple activities create a calm and breathable space perfect for the upcoming spring season.
Deep Clean Like a Pro
Once you have eliminated all the clutter, it is time to turn to phase two—deep cleaning. Your home is full of accumulated dust, dirt, and grime, which has also invited bacteria and allergens to live there. So, it’s time to eliminate it all by indulging in a complete deep clean.
- Start by cleaning the floors and other surfaces with proper cleaning agents and disinfectants. This is essential to eliminate dust and dirt on surfaces and tile grouts.
- Don’t forget the ceiling fans and light fixtures, either. Dirt and dust accumulate on them, too, as fans are unused for most of the winter.
- Take your upholstery and carpets for a wash, too, so that all the stains are eliminated, and they have a fresh, new look.
- Also, clean the windows, inside out, so that the dirt sticking to them is removed and the windows do not block the warm summer sunshine.
- Don’t neglect the baseboards and walls, either. A lot of dust has collected on them, and they can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Clean up the appliances to eliminate all the dirt, dust, and crumbs hiding in plain sight.
This deep cleaning will make a massive difference in your home and sparkle like a new place.
Bring the Outdoors Inside
Who says that you can keep plants only indoors? Spring is all about flowers, scents, and greenery. So, why not bring all those elements indoors? Here’s everything that you can do –
- Bring in beautiful, gorgeous, and colorful houseplants, such as tulips, daffodils, and lilies. They will brighten up your living space.
- You can also add other low-maintenance house plants, such as snake plants or pothos. These will not only add greenery to your home but also help with air purification.
- Get in herbal scents with lavender or eucalyptus plants that will instantly uplift the vibes in your home.
- Make room for natural sunlight by keeping the windows open and adding mirrors to your living space to reflect the sunlight in the home.
These simple additions will go a long way in breathing new life into your home by creating a refreshing atmosphere with positive, healthy, and energetic vibes.
