Who says you need to wait for spring to start your spring cleaning? Jumpstart your year with a home refresh!
The start of a new year excites many of us to start fresh as we anticipate a new opportunity to do the things we’ve been putting off. One of the things a lot of people get excited about is the prospect of spring cleaning—a chance to rejuvenate and refresh one’s living space. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to wait for the first warm day – in fact, getting a head-start on your spring cleaning before the weather warms up can be a rewarding and efficient approach. This is good because the winter weather has been brutal, and it makes the perfect opportunity to get a little housework done.
Create a Plan of Attack
Before diving into cleaning tasks, take a moment to assess your home. Identify areas that need attention the most and prioritize them. Creating a checklist can help you stay organized and focused, ensuring that no corner of your home is left untouched. Divide your tasks into manageable sections to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Declutter and Donate
The colder months often lead to the accumulation of items we no longer need. Start by decluttering your living spaces—including closets, cabinets, and drawers. Donate items that are in good condition but no longer serve a purpose in your home. This clears physical space, provides a sense of accomplishment, and helps those in need.
Deep Clean Winter Residue
Winter weather can leave behind a layer of dust, grime, and salt. Begin by thoroughly dusting your home and paying attention to neglected areas such as baseboards, ceiling corners, and light fixtures. Don’t forget to clean or replace air filters in your HVAC system, ensuring fresh and clean air circulation.
Evaluate and Rearrange Furniture
Consider rearranging furniture to give your home a fresh look. This is also an opportunity to clean underneath and behind large, often overlooked pieces. Check for any damages or wear and tear on furniture and address them promptly.
Inspect and Clean Appliances
Appliances like the refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher can accumulate dirt and grime over time. Take the time to inspect and clean these appliances thoroughly. Dispose of expired food, clean refrigerator shelves, and run cleaning cycles on your dishwasher and oven.
