Let us admit it that we all love spring. We love the glorious sun during the day and clear skies when we sit outside with a coffee mug in hand. But, as soon as the breeze changes its direction, our heart knows that winter is just around the corner. And it is not coming alone, with winters comes a lot of snow and our favorite festive season. The afternoons are a bit lazier and the slight chill in the air during night strolls promises a long snow filled time ahead.

Now is the perfect time for Halloween decorations to kick in and for us to “spring-clean” our house. The cleaning of house is a lot more detailed process than we normally care to admit and here we are with some quick tips to help you out in the process. We have organized a detailed plan path for you that you can follow and by the time the plan is complete you will have a squeaky-clean house at your own disposal.

Box that up

Carry sorting boxes and label them as – Trash, Donate, Keep.

Now carry these boxes to each room, living area, kitchen and dining area and sort the things accordingly in these boxes for storage and donation purposes. Also this is our go to technique when we decide to de clutter and reorganize our houses in an alleviated manner.

Freshen up the room

Open the windows, of each room when the sun pours in the light during the day, air up the room and strip the bed from covers, pillows, and mattresses. Our beds need all the sun and fresh air, dust the room in sunlight and clean up the corners and cobwebs. Shift the furniture settings a little bit and dust the area where it was kept before. Also do the same for rest of the house as well. This process not only airs up the room but also gives you a groundwork as spending more time in sunlight can make you look at the things that were not visible before.

Closet Sorting

Yes, dust it all up but do not place that not quite under the rug. (If you know you know). Use your favorite duster and dust up your whole house, the ceiling fan, the tabletops, the decorative items on the shelf, the door frames and pictures hung on the wall, the lamps, and the side shelf. Do a deep cleaning and deep dusting of the whole house.

Start up with the clothes in the house, stack the clothes in the basket that are not meant for cold winter days and give them a good wash before you pack them up for the season. Also bring out the comfy sweaters and sturdy coats and jackets from their designated places and air them properly before hanging them inside. After the clothes sorting is done, you will feel that you have won half the battle and almost half of your work is done. Yes! We can sense that relief too.

Dust that up

Yes, dust it all up but do not place that not quite under the rug. (If you know you know). Use your favorite duster and dust up your whole house, the ceiling fan, the tabletops, the decorative items on the shelf, the door frames and pictures hung on the wall, the lamps, and the side shelf. Do a deep cleaning and deep dusting of the whole house.

Vacuum it all up

Oh, that gift that you got is a godsend – that vacuum cleaner. And after the dusting process take out this tool of yours and start vacuuming the whole house, carpets, sofas, chairs, and those tough to reach corners of your house. You will be amazed by the amount of dirt collected from the seemingly clean corners.

Wash up the windows and the mirrors across the house

Clean up those beautiful mirrors in your whole house, the bedrooms, and the washrooms. Also scrub those French windows you loved so much as they are going to gift you the incredible views on the later stages of winters.

Wash the curtains across the house

Clean up your house by cleaning those curtains as well, that is self-explanatory, and you will thank us later for this pro tip that most people miss out on.

Clean up the Refrigerator

Clean up your whole fridge and take out the shelves and drawers. Also pull out the fruit and vegetable trays and compartments and give them a good scrubbing. Do not forget to clean up the fridge from outside too and then sort the essentials in a detailed manner.

De-clutter and Minimize

Well, we all need to admit that we design our houses as per the current season and festivities. So, all those things that give the summery vibes must be packed away till the next summers and thus it can help us to de-clutter the whole house and reach a more minimalistic canvas to further design and decorate.

Hope the above-mentioned tips could help you in your spring cleaning of the house. You can also share your tips with us and let us know if you have some hacks to clean effectively and immediately.
