Windows are being thrown open, clearing the musty closed in smell of winter. Tackling spring cleaning is no small feat, and a lot has to be done.

To Not Get Overwhelmed, Follow These Simple Tips

It is easy to feel overpowered by the task ahead. So much has to be done. Cleaning the house from basement to attic is no small feat, but it has to be done. Do not despair, there are about a million ways to get things done. Here are a few.

1. Tackle one room at a time – By cleaning one space at a time, the task does not seem as large. It breaks down this monstrous burden one manageable task at a time. Start by assessing the rooms that need the most attention and go from there. You will find yourself being done faster without getting discouraged.
2. Declutter and organize – While completing your spring cleaning, do not be afraid to get rid of things that you have not found yourself needing or using in the last few seasons. We do understand that some items will not be used as much during the winter months, and the goal here is not to get rid of everything. But if you find an item that has been in a box for a few spring seasons, without finding a use for it, it may be time to get rid of it. Try charitable organizations or organize a yard sale. You might find your whole street will want to get in on the action and have a huge shindig.
3. Sort things before storing them – Winter items will be stored for a few months. Make sure jackets and snow pants are clean and undamaged before storing them. Same with boots, hats, and gloves. Get rid of the items that are too damaged, repair those that can be salvaged, and store them. If something was a little to snug, offer it to a charitable organization. Someone will be very happy to have it.
4. Keep product to a minimum – Yes, there are about a million different cleaning products out there, and every single one of them touting theirs are the absolute best. From promises of cleaning without having to scrub, to leaving your windows completely spot free with wiping once, it may be tempting to get all of them. Keep your products to a minimum, with a small variety of general cleaners and a few specialty ones. Unless specified, an all-purpose cleaner will get you what you need cleaned, clean. Window cleaner for windows and mirrors, a wood polisher for wood, and good old bleach for your bathroom, and you are golden.

Conclusion

Do not let spring cleaning get the best of you. With Handy and the few tips here, you will conquer spring cleaning, and realize the mountain, was only a small hill.
