Perfect Your Spring-Cleaning Routine with These Creative Tips

Spring is finally here, and at GiftWorksPlus, we couldn’t be more excited! We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief knowing that warmer days are ahead. Although, one harsh reality we all face this season is spring cleaning. Very few people truly enjoy spring cleaning, but it doesn’t have to be as stressful of a process as you may think. This week we thought we would share some tips for decluttering your home or apartment without overwhelming yourself!

1. Consider your goals. Maybe you would like to get all of your old clothes and things you don’t use any more out of the house, or maybe you’d like to do a thorough deep clean of your floors, windows, cabinets, and surfaces. Whatever your goals are, be sure to write them down and visualize what you would like to see when you are all finished!
2. Make sure you’re equipped: Look through your home cleaning products and make sure you have all that you’ll need to get started. Make sure your vacuum is running well, that you are stocked with all the products, paper towels, and cleaning rags you need before you get started! A quick tip- to save money, try some microfiber cloths instead of paper towels, these trap dirt and dust quickly and can be washed and reused!
3. Start in your bedroom: Allergens are a necessary evil of spring weather and your bedroom is the first place you’ll want to start cleaning if you suffer from springtime allergies. Start as simple as dusting, vacuuming, and washing your bedsheets and you’ll feel a big difference right away!
4. Check your ceiling: Very few consider the fact that dust can build up everywhere, not just the surfaces that you see every day. It is also important to dust the tops of ceiling fans, to avoid dust dispersing all over the room next time you turn it on.

Whatever your spring-cleaning goals are, be sure to start small. Don’t make it your goal to deep clean your entire home in one day. Start off with a couple of rooms at a time to be sure you are being thorough, and check in at our website for more blogs on how to make the most of your spring!
