Spring is in the air, and with it comes the promise of spring cleaning. No matter the size of your home, spring cleaning is an essential step in maintaining your space and getting rid of clutter. A few simple tips, like taking it one day at a time and using dumpster rentals, can turn a big cleaning project into a series of manageable tasks. Here’s where to get started.

Go Day by Day

To be as efficient as possible, you want to break your cleaning tasks into smaller chunks spaced over a few days — or even a few weeks. It’s tempting to try and knock out all your spring cleaning in a weekend, but that’s a recipe for feeling overwhelmed. Instead, break your tasks into smaller pieces, starting from the top of your home and working down. Here’s an example:

• Day 1: Dust all the rooms, starting with ceiling fans and light fixtures and working down to the baseboards. Clean your curtains and blinds.
• Day 2: Put away items you want to keep. Set aside lightly used belongings you wish to donate. Throw away everything else. Dumpster rentals make it easy to get rid of clutter, especially if you need to get rid of furniture and bulky items.
• Day 3: Clean mirrors and countertops. Clean appliances, like your oven and coffee maker.

That’s a lot of progress in just a few days, and by organizing your tasks, you’re creating an actionable plan so that they get done.

Keep a List

As you clean, you’ll likely find items that need to be repaired, older belongings that need to be replaced, and things you need to purchase soon. These tasks are essential, but they can also distract you from getting the cleaning done. Instead, add them to a running list and schedule them into your calendar in order of priority. If you decided to donate an old winter coat, you probably don’t need to get a new one in the springtime — instead, add it to your list and focus on your daily cleaning goals.
