Knock Knock, It's Spring

Now that the weather is taking a turn, everyone has the cleaning spirit. It's time to get down and dirty and do the real spring cleaning. Sometimes when dirt is out of site and out of mind, we forget all the little things we have to clean. Which is why we made you a spring cleaning checklist!

Restock Supplies-

Have all yourcleaning suppliesin one place or even in a caddy to take with you around the house!Restock all itemsso nothing stops you in the middle of cleaning and make sure to get extra sponges and rags for miscellaneous tasks.

Schedule It Out-

Of course we'd all like to keep it to one day of cleaning, but that can be overwhelming and cause you to procrastinate or not do it at all. Choose a different area of your home for each day of the week and take it one day at a time!

Strategize-

Come up with a planthat includes similar tasks and product uses. For instance, even though your bathrooms may be in different rooms do them all at once! Or switch up tasks as you wait, like folding the laundry as you wait for the dishwasher to finish.

Take It Easy-

Overwhelming yourself is a recipe for disaster and just pushing through it isn't enough. Remember, if you associate cleaning with very hard and unpleasant work you'll have no incentive to do it next time. Take breaks, have a nice lunch, and get your kids involved by making it a game or include incentives!

(P.S) If you are buying or selling your home often to first task is to clean, focus on garbage and deep cleaning hidden spots before furniture and belongings come in
