Beyond the periodic maintenance cleanings that you do at home, spring is a perfect time to do a thorough one. Perhaps it is due to the arrival of good weather, which encourages cooling the home. Or because the rise in temperatures and the fact that there are more hours of daylight invite us to get down to work and welcome the good weather in pristine surroundings.
Whatever the reason, it’s clear that doing a spring tune-up has many benefits. At the end of the day, no matter how neat we are, we always resist some area of ​​the house where we do not influence so insistently. Not to mention the tendency we have to accumulate things even without realizing it. If you have in mind doing a deep cleaning of the house this spring, do not miss these tips to make it much more effective.
The first step is a sieve of all the objects that you have at home that you do not use. Go through every hole and storage corner: cabinets, drawers, pantry, shelves, sofa, various boxes… Analyze your belongings and throw away, sell or donate everything you consider unnecessary.
This way you will have a much wider and clearer space. Review the clothes that don’t fit or you don’t wear, the household items that you don’t use, decorative accessories that you no longer like so much or books that could have a second life in the hands of other people.
I’m sure you dust around the house at least once a week. But there are always corners where we don’t insist so much. Take advantage of the fact that you have emptied drawers and cabinets to clean them well. Also clean the shelves of the shelves, small hidden holes that are difficult to reach, moldings and skirting boards, doors, switches and sockets, plant pots, radiators, photo and picture frames, etc.
You should deep clean your mattress and sofas at least every six months. Also wash cushions, curtains, blankets, rugs, bedspreads and comforters. Everything that you are not going to use in these hot months, store it properly so that it is like new in autumn.
Window cleaning is one of the most tedious parts of the house and it is common for us to put it off longer than necessary. Take advantage of the good weather to give them a good review and that your windows and mirrors look impeccable.
Another aspect of the home where we do not insist so much is the electrical appliances. So it is a good time to clean the oven, the fridge, the microwave, the dishwasher, the hob, the washing machine, the toaster, kitchen robots and also vacuum cleaners, televisions and other electronic devices such as the router or the telephone.
Finally, if you have a terrace, porch or balcony, you will surely have abandoned it during the cold season. Clean it thoroughly and prepare it to spend much more time there in the summer season.
