Happy Wednesday!!
I’m linking up with Shay to share spring cleaning tips. Now, I love nothing more than a clean house, but I really hate to spring clean–which is why I want to clean as efficiently as possible.
Whenever our house gets a deep cleaning, Dustin and I do it together–which is helpful! I hate to admit this, but it’s usually only once a year 🙈 And what’s even more shocking is that we do our deep cleaning while putting away Christmas decorations. I mean, why not? You’re house is already chaotic with decorations coming down and you already have to clean up, so we just knock out two birds with one stone. This past Christmas we were still grieving so I was ready to get the decorations down and be done with it.
We waited to spring clean during my spring break on a day when Dustin was also off, so below I’m sharing some tips with y’all to make your spring cleaning most effective!
- Take an inventory of your cleaning products first to see what products you’re low on or what you need to add or replace before you start cleaning.
- Make a list of everything that needs to be cleaned. Mark things off as you complete them. This not only feels good but you also get to see your list get smaller!
- If you’re cleaning with a partner, you may be able to work on the same item on a list, but just divide it. Make sense? For example, when Dustin and I cleaned baseboards, we divided them out by room because neither one of us wanted to clean baseboards alone.
- Clean room by room. This helps you stay focused and on task.
- Play music while you’re cleaning! Or listen to a podcast.
- Have all of your cleaning products set out along with the cleaning rags. This keeps you from searching for the cleaning products.
What are some of your favorite cleaning tips?
