Springtime in the Midwest is here! The birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, and flowers are starting to bloom. It sure was a long winter, but nothing shakes the dust off after a long winter like a good old spring cleaning! The time has come to wash windows, sweep and dust, and clean out all those leftovers from the back of the fridge that have taken up space for longer than you’d care to admit.
This week at GiftWorksPlus, we wanted to share tips for getting your living space sparkling clean quickly and efficiently!
Make a list
Start by making a list of all the tasks you want to accomplish with the more pressing matters at the top. Are your floors dying for a little TLC? Put vacuuming or polishing the floors at the top! Windows looking rough? Add that one next, and so on and so forth.
Take it a little at a time
Nothing is more overwhelming than feeling like you have to tackle your whole home all at once. By starting with one room or even one task at a time and working your way to the next, you will feel a sense of accomplishment that will propel you into the next step!
Donate!
When you are going through your items or clothes, take a moment to think if you have used or worn that item in the last year. If the answer is no, donate it! Chances are, you’re holding onto more stuff than you know what to do with. You may not even notice that it’s gone, but you will definitely notice a cleaner, less cluttered living space.
Get organized.
Spring is the perfect time to get organized in your kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Clean out cupboards and organize them in a way that makes the most sense to you and your habits. Picking up some kitchen and bathroom organizers can definitely help as well!
