The warm weather of spring brings with it an urge to declutter and clean – but leaving all the areas of your home untouched can lead to serious clutter troubles. Spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up – it’s a chance to touch-up, fix and improve upon all the areas of our homes that need a little extra care.  With a little bit of elbow grease and a few basic tools, you can get your home looking and feeling brand new in no time. To help you get to work, here are 11 areas not to miss when it comes to your spring cleaning:

Curtains

Taking down your curtains and giving them a good shake can help get rid of any dust or cobwebs – plus, you can take the opportunity to throw them in the wash while they’re down. Shower curtains also need a little love. Give them a thorough scrub with some mild detergent and hot water – you’ll be amazed at how much grime builds up over time.

Pillows

Don’t forget to give your pillows some TLC. Washing and drying your pillows on a regular basis helps them last longer and keeps them free from dust and allergens. It’s also the perfect time to switch out your winter pillows for lighter ones – a fresh set of pillows can help bring a whole new look to your bedroom. Now, your room is ready for a bright and sunny spring season!

Rugs

It’s time to give your rugs some attention! Vacuum and spot-clean your area rugs, or take them outside for a good shake – you’d be amazed at the amount of dirt and dust that can accumulate. If you have any larger rugs, such as a living room carpet, invest in a good steam cleaner – this will help remove any deep-seated dirt and bring back the vibrancy of your rug. A little bit of effort goes a long way in keeping your rugs looking fresh and new.

Cushions

Cushions are often the unsung heroes of any living room, providing comfort, color and character. This spring, take some time to give them the attention they deserve! Begin by taking all your cushions outside for a thorough shake, airing out any winter odors that may have crept in. Then, give them a light wash or spot clean if necessary, and hang up to dry. After everything is nice and dry, it will be time to play with the placement of your cushions. Rearrange them in a new way for a fresh look or switch up the colors to create a bold statement.

Blankets

Spring cleaning your blankets is a must! Before the warmer weather takes over, take some time to tidy up those soft, cozy coverings. Shake them out to remove any dust or dirt, then give them a wash with fresh scented detergent to make them as good as new. And don’t forget to fluff them up in the dryer for extra softness. After all, who doesn’t love snuggling up in a freshly cleaned, soft blanket? Make it a priority this spring to ensure that your blankets are as comfortable and inviting as ever. You won’t regret it!

Baseboards

Baseboards play an important role in your home, helping tie together the look and feel of a room. Give them some special attention this season with an extra-thorough cleaning. A cotton cloth or soft brush is all you need to remove any dirt, dust, and grime that collects in the grooves.  Shine them up and make your space sparkle! Get the whole family involved for a fun spring cleaning session – it’ll make the job a lot easier!

Your appliances

According to GoTech Appliance Rpeair spring is the perfect time to give your appliances a deep clean. From the trusty fridge, to your washing machine and even that old vacuum cleaner, it’s important to make sure they are working in peak condition. In addition to scrubbing away the dirt and grime on the outside of your appliances, it’s just as important to give them a good deep clean on the inside. You may be surprised at what you find when you take your appliances apart and give them a thorough once over.

Garbage bins

Garbage bins are like the hidden, forgotten corners of your home. They often get neglected and left to collect dust and dirt without anyone paying attention to them.  Yet, they are essential in keeping your home clean and hygienic.  Give it a good scrub, get rid of all the dirt and grime, and make sure it stays that way for longer.

Under your sink

From cleaning out expired products to wiping down shelves and organizing supplies, many of us forget about this space that can easily become cluttered with items that we don’t need. Spring is a great time to take a look under the sink and clear out any items that are no longer useful and make sure everything is in its proper place. Some of the tasks you can do include: wiping down shelves, discarding expired products, and organizing cleaning supplies. It’s also a great time to take inventory of what you have and how much you need so that next spring cleaning session is even easier!

Ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are often that part of the room that everyone forgets to clean, but they shouldn’t be ignored!  A good spring clean of your ceiling fan(s) can help rid the air of dust, dirt, and other airborne particles. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the blades, and make sure any accumulated dust is removed from all crevices. Don’t forget to give your fan a good vacuum too!

Air filters

Air filters In spring, when the warm weather starts to come in and the allergens begin to rise up in the air, it is time to look at cleaning up your air filters. Air filters can easily become clogged with dust, pet dander, pollen and other allergens that are floating around the air. Not only is this a hazard to your health, but it can also lead to decreased air quality and reduced efficiency of your air conditioning system. Tackling your air filters during spring cleaning can help make sure your air is clean and healthy for the entire season. Put on some gloves and open up your air filter cabinet. You’ll be surprised to see how much dust and dirt has accumulated in just a few months. Take the old filter out and replace it with a fresh, new one.

5 Tips For Spring Cleaning Your Home

Create a cleaning schedule

Create a flexible cleaning schedule that works for you and your family. Think of it as a fun game to see how quickly and thoroughly you can tackle each room. Try to spread out the tasks throughout the week and reward yourselves with a relaxing activity when you’ve completed the job! Make sure to involve everyone in the family and assign tasks based on each person’s strengths. This will help make the cleaning process enjoyable and productive!

Sort, donate and throw away items you don’t need 

Once you have your cleaning schedule in place, start tackling each room one by one. Begin by sorting through items and deciding what to donate, throw away, and keep. Donating gently used items to a local charity can not only help those in need but can also be a great way to de-clutter your space. If you’re running low on storage containers, consider using labeled boxes or bins to help organize items that you choose to keep.

Invest in eco-friendly cleaning products

Invest in eco-friendly cleaning products that are specifically designed to be safe for people and the environment. Not only will this help you avoid using harsh and toxic chemicals, but you’ll also be making a positive impact on the planet.

Work from top to bottom

When cleaning each room, start from the top and work your way down. This will help you clean more efficiently and effectively by preventing dirt or dust from settling in areas that have already been cleaned. Cleaning high up can be a challenge, so make sure to use the proper tools and take the necessary safety precautions.

Play some music Make cleaning fun by playing some upbeat music! Choose your favorite tunes or create a special “cleaning playlist” to help motivate you and your family. Working to the beat of music will make the whole process more enjoyable, while also helping you stay focused and energetic!
