If you’re looking for ways to welcome spring into your home, look no further! Follow this easy guide for some spring cleaning tips this year. Get ready to jump right into this time of rejuvenation.

First Stop: Your Kitchen

Do a thorough kitchen cleanup because your kitchen is one of the busiest parts of your home. Aside from the usual mopping and sweeping, degrease your kitchen cabinetry if you haven’t already. Here’s what else to do to say hello to springtime:

1. Sanitise Cutting Boards

Use lemon rinds to scrub away bacteria and remove stains off your cutting boards. Sanitising your cutting boards is also necessary to keep illness-causing microorganisms off the surface.

2. Make Your Freshener

Why spend bucks on artificial air fresheners when you can make your own? Pour some water into a pot and boil lemon or orange peels. This will infuse the air with a naturally fresh scent. Throw some lemon into your garbage to get rid of the odour.

3. Organise Your Pantry and Cabinets

Have you been putting off cabinet and pantry cleaning? Now’s the time to do that. Organise your cabinets and pantry for a brand new and fresh look. Dispose of expired and empty jars. Wipe down the shelves, dust the tops and reorganise the containers.

Next Stop: The Bathroom

The bathroom is another highly-frequented and visited space home to grime and dirt. Follow these cleaning tips:

1. Clean The Walls

Bathroom walls are often overlooked in daily cleaning. Wipe down the walls, especially the one that has your back, when you get ready. This wall is coated with products like hairspray and whatnot! Dampen a cloth with a cleaning liquid and rub it across the wall. Wipe it immediately with a fresh cloth, and Voila!

2. Declutter The Sink

Declutter the used products and mess of shampoo and soap under or over the sink. Clean the products if they’ve been accumulating dust. Reorganise your cabinets and invest in smart storage solutions.

3. Put Everything in Dishwasher

Make full use of your dishwasher by putting everything in it. Toothbrush holders, bath toys, and soap dispensers load it all up for an ultimate deep clean.

Third Stop: Your Living Room

This will take the longest because of the time you and your family spend in the living room. Make sure every nook and cranny is tended to.

1.  Carpet Cleaning

If your living room is carpeted, it’s probably filled with microorganisms. Remove all the upholstery and deep clean the carpet. Vacuum the surface to make sure each corner is cleaned, and there’s no dust or grime left on the surface.

Pro Tip: Bring home air-purifying plants because hello? It’s springtime!

2. Tend to Furniture

Be strategic about cleaning the furniture. Make sure you dust everything off their surface. Tidy the living room. Maybe reorganize the furniture for a change?

3. Clean Everything Else

Your living room needs to be thoroughly cleaned bottom-up. Whether it’s dirty drapes and curtains, ceiling corners, flooring, and door and window frames – clean it all. Remove the cushions and throw them in the laundry while you vacuum away any dust particles.

Final Stop: Your Bedroom

Last but not least, your bedroom needs to be clean too. It’s your personal space which means you need to be extra thorough.

1. Vacuum Your Mattress

Do you know mattresses are home to dust mites that can cause allergies? Dust mites feed off dead human skin cells, which means even the cleanest mattress can be home to these microorganisms. Remove and wash your mattress coverings and sheets.

2. Wash Duvets and Pillows

Toss your duvets and pillows into the laundry while you vacuum your room. Duvets and pillows need to be cleaned at least two to three times a year.

3. Declutter Wardrobe

Nothing’s more relieving than standing in front of your organised wardrobe. Put away your winter clothes and bring back spring dresses and summer outfits but first clean your entire wardrobe including cabinets. You can also give away clothes that you won’t wear again. There’s no use hoarding!
