We wanted to get a head start on our Spring Cleaning.
-Don't forget to sanitize the "germy' spots: the faucets, light switches refrigerator-door handles, all doorknobs, salt and pepper shakers, remote controls, phones and cases.
All-Natural Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
For an easy cost effective all-purpose cleaner mix equal parts water and vinegar (for a fresh smell, soak lemon peels in vinegar and strain before combining.)
All-Natural Homemade Floor Cleaner
For an easy cost effective floor cleaner mix equal parts water, vinegar, alcohol with a few drops of dish soap.
Let's start the Spring off right!
Your environment has a big impact on your emotions and stress level, so get to it!
- Plan ahead! Come up with a strategy and you'll save hours of wasted time. Take some time to gather all your cleaning supplies and make a list of supplies you need to purchase.
- De-clutter before your begin! 40% of cleaning time is spent putting stuff away. Tidy up a few days before...throw away unwanted items, donate your old clothes or try to sell some stuff on Craigslist!
- Make a Spring Cleaning playlist.
- Clean when you're already dirty! No need to shower before hand, just jump right into it.
- Focus on one room at a time, hardest-to-easiest. If you get the hard stuff done first, it will make the rest of the cleaning seem easy! We started with the kitchen.
- Work top-to-bottom. Dust and dirt will loosen as you work and gravity will take effect, this approach prevents wasted effort.
- Spring cleaning is ambitious enough, don't make it harder for yourself. If you have to, break it down into a few days and don't stress!
-Change your batteries in your smoke and CO2 alarms.
-Dust and clean the refrigerator coils. This will help your fridge to run more efficiently and help save some money on your electricity bill! Woohooo!
Listen, we know it's a pain...but it is important work.
Noticeable or not, less dust means better breathing, fresher smell, lower bacteria count and the personal satisfaction of knowing you did a thorough job!
