Tips for Spring Cleaning and Organizing
1 Make it fun! Open the windows (or at least the curtains), and put on your favorite summer beach party music. The fresh air and sunlight will give you an energy boost and you’ll accomplish more!
2 For the major work, hire out or get friends and family to help. Window washing, air-conditioner maintenance, pressure washing, organizing, upholstery cleaning, tree pruning and painting often are better left to professionals.
3 For smaller tasks, assign a day for each task. Monday, get rid of clutter. Tuesday, do laundry. Wednesday, dust from floor to ceiling. Thursday, vacuum, mop and wax. Friday, go shopping for decorative items. Use the weekend to touch up paint, replace light bulbs and do other small tasks you identify during the week.
4 If you make a list of tasks you want to accomplish, you’ll be more likely to actually do them.
5 Think vertically. Remember to clean in high places (over door trim, tops of picture frames and cobwebs on the ceilings), and don’t forget the vertical space in your home as a storage option.
6 Don’t forget the great outdoors. Spring-cleaning time is a great opportunity to prepare and organize your gardening supplies, do lawn mower maintenance and tackle yard projects. Keep a notepad in your pocket to write down items that need to be purchased.
7 Glass cleaner and newsprint are great for cleaning windows without leaving streaks.
8 Take leftover firewood out of the house and store it in a covered area in the yard.
