Spring Cleaning Ideas

Shake the Dust Off with Spring Cleaning

Open all of the windows and doors, turn up the music...it’s spring. No need to work out at the gym on spring-cleaning days; work those abs, glutes, and triceps while you watch your winter cave transform into a spring oasis.

Just Get Rid of It!

This just might be the most important part of the entire spring cleaning project… if you haven’t used it in the past year (or even less) just get rid of it. Make a bag for trash, and a huge bag to give away. You can also put aside things that should go into the attic, garage, or shed for future use. Make sure that all the things surrounding you are things that you really need or love. 

Love your Houseplants

Plants need showers too. After being dried out by indoor heating, give them a special treat. They’ll love you for it. Use a gentle shower head attachment to spray your plants lightly with cool water.

Banish the Dust-Bunnies

Now that you can open the windows and doors to let in the fresh air, it’s time to DUST. Dust everything and everywhere at the beginning of the season. Remember to get the ceilings and the corners of each room, the blinds, fans, artwork, books, bookshelves, lamps, and dressers.

Take Apart, Scrub, Put Back Together

Wash the inside and outside of medicine cabinets, linen cabinets, and other shelving. Then put it all back in an order that makes sense to you. Now is also the time to wash and sanitize all of the trash cans in the house. Also wash all bedding, comforters, mattress pads, and pillows. Organize your closets.

Everyone’s Favorite...Wash the Windows

Window washing has really gotten a bad wrap. What can be more rewarding than looking through crystal clear windows after a long winter of buildup? Use newspapers and vinegar for a natural way to clean glass or use rubber-edged squeegees, which are a quicker way to clean big windows. 

Switch ‘Em Up

Vacuum and steam-clean curtains or have them dry cleaned. Replace heavy curtains with lighter ones as the weather gets warmer; it’s important to remove dust and dirt before putting the winter curtains away for storage. You can also replace your bedding for a quick spring makeover. 


Enjoy your sparkly home!
