Spring Cleaning

It’s that time of year again for some good ol’ fashioned spring cleaning! With that in mind, we have gathered from the top ten spring cleaning tips from Style at Home. And without further adieu, here they are:

  1. Work from the top down, inside to outside, to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again.
  2. Do one room, even one area of one room, at a time to avoid unfinished jobs. The satisfaction of seeing one room sparkle will make the hard work feel like it’s worth the effort.
  3. When tidying, reduce trips around the house by temporarily depositing items in one spot en route to but not at their final destination.
  4. Do two things at once. While laundry is going, scrub the shower stall.
  5. Make small repairs. If you’re not handy, hire someone.
  6. Invest in good rubber or vinyl gloves to protect your skin and nails.
  7. Dust before vacuuming or cleaning the floor. Try feather or lambswool dusters, especially extendable ones for reaching above window and door casings and into corners. Household rags are invaluable for jobs requiring a damp cloth – natural fibres work best.
  8. Buy mops with a squeeze mechanism (great for vinyl, linoleum or ceramic tile floors) and a decent-size heavy-duty pail – one with a measuring scale helps get soap-to-water ratios correct.
  9. Don’t stand your brooms on their bristles. It will destroy their shape and diminish their effectiveness. Instead, get a broom holder.
  10. Use a Swiffer for light dusting, or your favourite broom or vacuum attachment to clean hardwood floors. Then damp-mop with a mild cleaner such as Murphy Oil Soap.
