Spring cleaning, you start thinking about doing it the first day you can roll down your car windows and enjoy the sun and breeze on your face. To some spring cleaning is cleaning every nook and cranny in their home. To others, it is simply getting out their spring/summer clothes and throwing them in the wash. The point of spring cleaning is to freshen your home and to be ready for the upcoming seasons that can be a little crazy because people are out and about enjoying the outdoors and vacations, graduations, weddings, family reunions, etc. The first step to spring cleaning is to create a plan, and if you have more than just you in the home, designate who is going to do what task for that plan.
The next easy step in spring cleaning is to de-clutter. Get rid of items that you haven’t used in a year or that are broken or have been broken for some time. The reality is if you haven’t used it or gotten it fixed, you’re not going to. Also, if you find something and your reaction is: “oh, I thought I lost this, or that is where that went,” then obviously, the item doesn’t mean that much to you and you should let it go.
Another simple step for spring cleaning is to wash your windows. Spring and summer months offer bountiful sunny days, especially here in Colorado, so let that sun come into your home as much it can. The sun will help your plants to grow, warm your home and provide you with some of the daily needed Vitamin D.
Another project, if you own a home, inspect your home’s exterior for any potential problem areas. Problem areas can be a leaking cutter, missing or broken shingles or siding. Also, pull out and touch up any out door furniture.
The list for spring cleaning is endless, so concentrate on the areas that are going to put your mind at ease. For more great ideas on how to get started on spring cleaning visit:
