As the weather warms up, it’s worth thinking about deep cleaning the house. This common ritual eliminates dust accumulation and creates a healthy atmosphere. However, knowing where to begin can be a challenge. In addition to placing extra items in a storage unit, here are a few tips to streamline the process. 

A Guide to Spring Cleaning 

1. Make a Plan

Evaluate the house in its entirety and map out the availability of each room, which is usually dependent on school schedules and working hours. Next, figure out what each room requires and gather the necessary cleaning equipment. Focus on one area at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed.

2. Organize Clutter

Sort out items that the family doesn’t use on a regular basis, such as seasonal decorations, outdoor equipment, and clothing. Donate those that haven’t been touched in over a year. Bring the rest to a storage unit to better manage the clutter.

3. Start With Seasonal Chores

Seasonal chores, such as washing windows and cleaning the grill, tend to occur only once or twice a year. Since they can take more time to complete, put them at the top of your list to avoid losing motivation. It gets them out of the way and leaves you able to focus on the easier tasks ahead.

4. Work Top to Bottom

Dust off the ceiling fans, and wipe down every surface. This gives airborne particles time to settle so that you can sweep everything into a neat pile. Going out of order can cause you to clean the same space twice.

5. Go Green

Many cleaning products contain harmful chemicals, such as artificial fragrances and ammonia, that can harm air quality and make it difficult to breathe. Use options with natural ingredients to protect your health. Baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice are popular for ensuring clean surfaces.
