When the good weather returns, everyone likes to have a clean house so that they can fully enjoy it and have peace of mind. It’s time for a big spring cleaning. From the different rooms of your interior, through the outbuildings, to the exterior, the task is not easy. It is therefore advisable to progress methodically so as not to get discouraged and do things as they should.
What does “spring cleaning” mean?
Sometimes also called “spring cleaning”, this annual cleaning is a tradition in many homes around the world. It involves thoroughly cleaning the surfaces, walls and ceilings of each room in your house and sometimes even sorting objects or clothes in the dressing room. This is a great opportunity to get rid of the last vestiges of winter and to sort your laundry and fold your clothes.
The operation is generally more intense than a usual cleaning. It is important to pay attention to the smallest corners of your home that may have been neglected on a daily basis. This might mean vacuuming hard-to-reach places, cleaning ventilation grills and filters, washing curtains and rugs, or maintaining window surrounds and dirty shower baseboards or grout.
It’s also an excellent way to freshen up your interior by tidying up because it ensures that everything is in good condition before summer arrives.
How to organize yourself to do a big clean in your home?
Spring is logically the best time to do a general cleaning of your home . It’s time to take out the items you haven’t used for a long time. If you don’t know where to start, here are some tips to help you:
1) Equip yourself as best you can
You will need essential equipment such as a sponge, mops, brooms, a vacuum cleaner, and trash bags. Then decide on the ideal day to carry out the operation and plan your day.
2) Focus on living spaces as a priority
Start with the most cluttered spaces in your home and focus on the most important tasks. Start with the rooms in which you spend the most time such as the bedroom, living room, kitchen or bathroom. Then move on to the storage areas and cupboards. If you have a closet, such as a cupboard or dresser, empty and sort their contents.
3) Don’t forget the outdoor spaces!
Once you are finished with the interior of your home, remember to wash the exteriors, such as the garden, the terrace or the balcony and clean the garden furniture, tools and outdoor games with water. If you have a wintering pool, use a landing net to remove dead leaves.
