One of the most important aspects of a homeowner's life is spring cleaning. After all, if you don't do it, you might end up with a lot of clutter, trash, and unwanted items. Spring cleaning is also essential because it helps your house feel fresh and new again. If you are looking for guidance on how to start and what to cover in spring cleaning, you might want to look at the best spring cleaning strategies for 2022 that we have devised just for you.
1.
Start with Dust Removal
You can start the spring cleaning by
dusting and vacuuming the entire house. It will help eliminate all the dirt,
dust, pet hair, and cobwebs.
2.
Clean Out the Closets
The next step could be to clean out the
closets and organize them. Go through every item you have in the closets of one
room, remove clothes that you don't wear (and possibly donate them) and organize
all the sections. You can do the closet cleaning room by room.
3.
Wash the Essentials
Wash all the sheets, blankets, towels, and
comforters to avoid dust accumulation and add a fresh scent to all of those.
4.
Eliminate the Clutters
Go through every room in the house and get
rid of anything you no longer need and are just sitting there for months. The
items you might need to throw away or donate during decluttering may vary from
old toys to dusty showpieces. You can also sell or recycle the products.
5.
Get Rid of Unfits
Every year, during spring cleaning, you
should wear all the clothes and shoes (one by one) to see which still fit and
which don't. You can donate the ones you no longer like (out of fashion, bad
fit, or uncomfortable) and keep the ones that fit (and feel) right.
6.
Clean the Bathrooms
It is also essential to include bathrooms in
your spring cleaning tasks. Clean the washbasins, commodes, taps, showers,
bathtubs, cupboards, storage spaces, mirrors, and tiles!
7.
Polish All Wooden Furniture
Your next step should be to wipe all wooden
furniture pieces at your home and throw all the cushions into the wash (if
recommended). Clean under the cushions, under the legs, and around the base.
Also, polish the wooden furniture if it's required.
8.
Clean Surfaces
It would help if you also took the time to
clean and disinfect all the surfaces of your home. After cleaning, make sure
you wipe down surfaces like bathtubs and countertops.
9.
Condition Leather Items
If your furniture has leather additions,
you need to wipe them down and use a leather conditioner to bring back its
shine.
10.
Clean Appliances
Spring cleaning is incomplete without
thoroughly cleaning the appliances you use daily, such as washing machines,
refrigerators, dishwashers, air conditioners, microwaves, and many others. Get
special cleaners deep clean each appliance and wash their covers (if any).
