You don’t have to wait until spring to tidy your home. With a bit of extra care and planning, you can keep your home neat and tidy year-round. Once spring arrives, you’ll thank yourself – the job won’t be so overwhelming.

Every few months, clear out the stuffiness in your home by opening up all doors and windows. Then, get started on freshening up your home with these four spring cleaning tips:

Plan Ahead

Gather your cleaning supplies in the one container prior to getting started. If you need to move to another room to get supplies, you may easily be distracted from the job at hand. Once you’ve gathered your cleaning supplies, work in a systematic way around your home. It can help to segment sections of each room, dedicating a specific amount of time to each. This way, you will stay focussed and avoid running out of time. There’s nothing worse than a job half-done – especially when it comes to cleaning.

Clean Carpets Thoroughly

Though they don’t appear dirty, carpets and rugs hold a large amount of dirt. They should be steam-cleaned at least once a year. Time is everything these days, so outsource a professional cleaner to do the job for you. Professional cleaners such as Cheap As Chips Cleaning are a great choice, as they are affordable, and kind to the environment.  By getting your carpet professionally steam-cleaned, you will save money in the long-run. A deep clean will extract grit, sand and loose soiling, reducing damage and wear.

Give Your Fridge A Refresh

A quick and easy way to refresh your kitchen space is to clear out old food and condiments in your fridge. Check expiry dates and throw out anything that hasn’t been used within the last three months. Once you’ve cleared the fridge, wipe down the inside and outside with warm, soapy water and then reorganise the contents within.

Clean Window Shutters and Blinds

Lay sheets of newspaper under your windows, give your blinds a quick dust on both sides and then clean your shutters. For hard-to-reach areas, wrap a cloth or old sock around a ruler and moisten it with soapy water, or dip a paintbrush in hot water and brush the dirty areas. Be sure to use a dry cloth to remove any excess water.

These tips can be applied anytime, so don’t wait until spring to start afresh. Having a clean home year-round is sure to make you feel happier and healthier.
