Springtime brings renewed energy as people regain their strength after the winter months. Now is also an opportune time to take a good, hard look at our homes from wall to wall and top to bottom in preparation for welcoming a fresh start to the new season. Spring cleaning doesn’t need to be challenging or tiring when taken in small chunks! Break it down into achievable tasks for success, and set yourself up for success this year.

Tackle Your House Room By Room
Cleaning can be an exhausting and intimidating task when tackled all at once, so why not take on the job room by room? Walk through each space and write down everything that needs cleaning before working your way around the house systematically and keeping track of what needs doing. Enlist the help of family members, if possible, in making the task more manageable or enjoyable altogether.
Undertake Deep Clean Tasks First
As there are certain tasks that need to be completed less frequently than others, like washing carpets, walls or wardrobes. Prioritise them first so as not to forget them later on and get them completed as quickly as possible. One tip to remember when planning to wash carpets is to do it on a sunny and warm day. More superficial tasks, such as dusting or vacuuming, can then be undertaken.
Locate Upgrades That Will Make A Difference
Take a good, hard, close look around your home to identify any small upgrades that would improve its comfort or functionality.This could include installing extra shelves in the kitchen or rearranging furniture in the living room, and by identifying such small upgrades early, they’ll ensure they get completed as planned.
Clean the Outdoor Areas
Outside cleaning can be a tedious, time-consuming and exhausting process, but the payoff can be rewarding. Take some time to clean off outside walls and windows; use a pressure washing on paved areas, patios, decks or driveways as soon as possible to rid these spaces of any dirt that has accumulated over winter. Additionally, this is an opportunity to inspect roof tiles and gutters. If wear appears, contact a local gutter repair specialist as soon as possible, this may save money as rainy season weather could strain them further!
Don’t Forget About Your Garden
Garden spaces often get neglected during spring cleaning sessions, but it’s worth taking time out of your schedule to restore order in your outdoor spaces. Pruning plants, weeding beds and mowing the lawn are essential tasks necessary for keeping them looking their best for the new season ahead – winter can often take its toll.
Spring cleaning doesn’t need to be a difficult endeavour if you approach it with the right attitude and know where to begin. Take it room by room; do any deep clean tasks first before adding small upgrades that make a difference; don’t neglect your garden, either. Making sure its appearance stands out will create the impression of newness for spring! With some dedication and effort, you can have your home sparkling within no time!
