After the long winter months, spring cleaning allows one to refresh their home before summer begins. We’ll explore some tips to help you tackle your spring-cleaning checklist with ease and efficiency.

Planning Your Spring Cleaning Ahead

One of the best spring cleaning tips out there is plan ahead! You never want to go into your spring cleaning tasks unprepared.

Proper spring cleaning checklists should have a careful amount of planning go into them. Keeping you spring cleaning schedule on track will be hard if you haven't prepared for different challenges!

A good spring cleaning task is one that is well thought out. There are a few steps to help plan your spring cleaning in an organized way.

1. Create a Checklist

Spring cleaning can be overwhelming as it can be hard to figure out where to start. Take time to figure out what your goals are and what you want to accomplish.

Whether you plan to work on the interior or exterior of your home, it’s important to determine which projects are the most crucial to get done and which projects can be completed at a later date.

Organization Tips

Rather than trying to complete every project at once, split up your tasks by creating a checklist that outlines what you want to accomplish in order to alleviate any stress that comes with spring cleaning. When making this checklist, write down every task or project that you would like to complete.

This will allow you to keep track of your progress, and you can also use it to help you plan for any larger projects that might exist.

Once you have your list, you can begin tackling the different tasks you’ve given yourself to complete. Start by taking on any larger projects that you have in mind so that you can spend more time figuring those out, knowing the other tasks will be easier to get done after.

For example, if you’re planning on a renovation project, this requires more time and planning than cleaning out your garage.

2. Start With Deep Cleaning

Before jumping into any projects, take some time to deep clean your home. Gather your cleaning supplies such as:

  • Glass cleaner
  • Microfiber cloth
  • Buckets for warm water
  • Vacuum cleaner
  • Trash bags and bins
  • Baking Soda (for cleaning solutions)
  • Lemon juice (for eco-friendly spring cleaning)

Start by taking one room on at a time and cleaning that room completely before moving onto the next.

Start With the Kitchen

Your kitchen can be a great place to start, as it’s one area that you use every day. Deep clean your kitchen in the following ways:

  • Countertops
  • Floors
  • Windows and appliances
  • Kitchen Cabinets

You should even consider cleaning out your cabinets to get rid of any expired food or old containers that are no longer usable. Taking the time to clean your kitchen can provide you with a space that feels less cluttered and overwhelming.

Don't Forget the Bathroom!

In addition to the kitchen, focus on cleaning other frequently used spaces such as the bathroom. Your bathroom is a space that gets a lot of use, but may not get a lot of love and attention necessary when it comes to cleaning.

By setting aside time to deep clean your bathroom, you’ll be able to feel more in control the next time you have to clean that space.

Thorough cleaning of different areas of your home will not only leave you with a cleaner space to live in, but it’ll also provide you with a feeling of satisfaction.

3. Begin to Declutter and Organize

In addition to deep cleaning different areas of your home, also take time to declutter your spaces so that you can get rid of things you no longer want or need. Some of the best places to declutter tend to be:

  • A junk drawer
  • Laundry room
  • Bedroom
  • Attic
  • Basement

It can be hard to set aside time to declutter as it can be a time-consuming process, but by starting small will make it feel easier to manage. When decluttering your space, use this as an opportunity to not only get rid of things you no longer need, but also use it as an opportunity to reorganize your space.

Spring Cleaning Tips for Decluttering

You can start by going through your clothes and determining what you still wear and what you don’t. When decluttering your closet, instead of throwing away what you no longer wear, consider either donating those items to a local thrift store or selling them online.

Along with cleaning out your clothes, consider getting rid of any old paperwork or appliances that no longer serve a purpose.

4. Consider Any Maintenance

With winter now over, warmer weather is coming in and there’s a chance that some of your home appliances may not be functioning as well as they should.

Due to the normal wear and tear that different types of appliances endure, there’s a possibility they can break down right as the weather turns. It’s important to have your home appliances inspected to ensure that you’re minimizing the risk of having to do last minute repairs in the heat of the summer.

Spring Cleaning Tips for Appliance Maintenance

When the weather begins to break, consider having your air conditioner, HVAC, plumbing and light fixtures inspected to ensure that there isn’t any damage. If there is, get a head start on those repairs.

If you’re finding that one of your home appliances is in need of repair or has to be replaced, fast funding is usually essential for these kinds of improvements. Consider taking out a low interest home equity loan as a method of funding.

This allows you to receive the money in a lump sum payment and the interest is tax-deductible as long as the loan is used for home improvement projects.

Taking the time to get ahead on spring cleaning and maintenance can allow you to feel less overwhelmed. Start creating your spring cleaning checklist now to help you to get the most out of your home this summer.
