Put some spring in your cleaning step
Spring is the season of nature's rebirth.
Trees and flowers begin to bloom
anew each spring, and young animals
can be seen frolicking with their parents.
During a time when it seems like the
entire planet gets a refresh, many homeowners
turn their thoughts to refreshing
their homes as well.
As the days lengthen and the weather
warms, spring cleaning takes center stage.
Spring cleaning is more extensive than
simply washing away grime, as cleaning
a home often offers a psychological reset
for the coming months. A clear strategy
can make the task of spring cleaning feel
less daunting, and these tips can help cut
down on clutter and other interior annoyances
that have arisen after months spent
indoors.
Declutter before cleaning
The rule of thumb when starting on spring
cleaning is to combat clutter before
cleaning. Trying to clean around clutter is
inefficient and may result in throwing in
the towel prematurely. It is important to
remove as much as possible from each
room before you begin cleaning. As homeowners
move through each room, they
can assess whether they've used items
in the last year or whether they serve any
functional or aesthetic purposes. If not,
they can be trashed or donated.
Move top to bottom
It's important to follow the rules of science
when spring cleaning. That means
that dust and debris will be affected by
gravity. Engaging in a top-down approach
will help make cleaning more efficient. Beginning
at the ceiling and working down
towards the floors will help people avoid
having to clean the same surface twice.
Using a duster or a microfiber cloth, individuals
can clear cobwebs from corners
and dust from crown molding. Fingerprints

will accumulate near light switches
and door handles, so those areas should
be wiped down, too.
Homeowners can conduct a thorough
cleaning of heating and cooling output
and intake vents as they likely have gathered
dust over the winter. A down of floor
moldings can get to any area near the
floor or under furniture that doesn't get
frequent cleaning.
Do a kitchen reset
Focusing attention on the kitchen, which
tends to be the busiest room in the house,
is a wise idea for spring cleaning plans.
This is the time for individuals to pull everything
out of the refrigerator and pantry
and check for expiration dates. Wiping
down the shelves means cleaning away
any accumulated food drips or spills. Additional
areas to consider include behind
the refrigerator, inside the dishwasher filter
and inside the microwave.

Focus on air quality
It's key to replace the HVAC system filters
come springtime, as well as any air purifiers
in the home. This will help reduce allergens
and ensure that the cooling system will run
efficiently when it's time to turn it on.
Spring cleaning takes place each year. Prioritizing
decluttering and following a systematic
path through the home helps people
eliminate stress and mess at the same
time.
