Simple Spring Cleaning Tips

Spring is almost here and we’re looking forward to new beginnings and fresh starts. If you’re ready to do some spring cleaning to give your home—and your life—a fresh start, we’ve got some great tips to make it easy.

Declutter

Have some clothes you no longer wear? Are there boxes in the closet you haven’t opened in a year or more? Do you always struggle to find what you’re looking for in the kitchen? Go through it all and be ruthless. Don’t hold onto things “just in case” you need them and don’t keep things just because you feel obligated to. Keep the things you enjoy and use, and everything else can either be thrown out or donated.

Do it Room by Room

Spring cleaning can be daunting when you think about the whole house, the yard, the attic, the garage, the car, etc. Instead of trying to do it all at once, break it down to one thing at a time. Choose a room or area to focus on each day until you can get the entire house done. This will let you focus on one area without feeling overwhelmed. Once you’re happy with that room, you can move on to the next.

Delegate

Unless you live alone, you’re not the only one responsible for cleaning your home! Delegate tasks to other family members. Even children can pitch in by donating toys they no longer play with, choosing clothes they’ve outgrown, and organizing their room. These skills can teach them so much, and help you reach your spring cleaning goals that much faster.

Create New Habits

If you’re overwhelmed by cleaning the entire house, use this time to build better cleaning habits. Set aside a small amount of time each day to clean. Even if you just tidy up for a small amount of time every single day, you’ll find your home slowly becoming cleaner. Is your kitchen a constant disaster? Clean as you cook! This is where little helpers or your partner can help in the kitchen without doing any cooking. To get your family involved, have fun rewards for when the day’s cleaning is done or play some music!

Organizing Systems

Creating new systems for organization can make cleaning and staying organized throughout the year so much easier. From the kids’ toys to everyone’s shoes to the pantry, designating a spot for everything makes it easy for everything to be in its place.
