One of the most satisfying things in life is coming home to a clean and sanitized home.
Every year we do spring cleaning to clean our home from top to bottom. Spring cleaning is done mostly for the reason that we do not have the luxury of time to deep clean our homes.
It can be time-consuming if we start to clean without a plan, you might even accidentally leave something out. On the spot planning will take most of your time, you will be thinking rather than scrubbing.
Here are some spring clean tips to freshen up your home.
Doormats
Prevent too much dirt from shoes in entering your house by using two doormats, one outside and one inside. To remove dirt from the mat inside, use a vacuum on both sides. To clean dirt off the mat from the outside, wash both sides using a hose.
 Cabinet
After some time, dirt build-up on your kitchen cupboards is inevitable especially if you do not turn on the exhaust hood when you cook. Grime is a mixture of grease and dust that builds up in our cabinets.
To remove grease, create a solution with fifty percent vinegar and fifty percent warm water. Pour into a spray bottle and mist on the cabinets. Let the solution sit for a minute or two. Using a soft cloth, gently wipe off the build-up. If your cabinets are extremely grimy, add a few drops of dishwashing detergent to the solution.
Window
Rather than simply cleaning down the inside, make sure to wipe smears and spots from the outside part of the window that you do not generally have the opportunity to handle. Wash them on a cloudy day to guarantee that the sun will not dry up your cleanser before you even finish doing your window cleaning.
Countertops
Sweep off any crumbs or build up before using a cleaning agent. Clean the surface of the countertop with damp, non-abrasive cotton material and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse with clean water. Dry the surface with a new cotton cloth.
Washing Machine
Try not to wash your garments in a stinky machine. Rather, sanitize it with distilled white vinegar and baking soda to keep it new and high-functioning. Run the machine with high-temperature water, at that point include the cleaning agents, and let it sit for thirty minutes to an hour. A while later, restart your machine, drain the water, and wipe it dry.
Dishwasher
To guarantee this cleaning machine gets all the stains off your dinner plates, it needs to be cleaned as well. Start by removing any bits of food from the bottom. Then, run a cycle with a specialty cleaner once a month.
Mattress
While washing your sheets and comforter, clean your mattress using your vacuum’s crevice tool to remove the dirt from the sides and surface.
Painted Walls
Maintaining your paint looking fresh is crucial. To do this, clean your walls using a sponge or cloth and water. If water alone does not work, dip the sponge into water mixed with a little dishwashing liquid. If stains are persistent, apply soap directly on your sponge. Make sure to use plain water when rinsing the wall.
Patio Furniture
Before the outside season starts, wipe down your chairs and tables with a blend of warm water and dishwashing liquid soap. Then rinse the soap off using a hose and let them air dry before enjoying your freshly cleaned patio furniture.
Wrapping up!
Regardless of whether your spring cleaning routine is an all-weekend marathon or multiple after-work cleaning sessions, these spring cleaning tips to freshen up your home will make the job quicker and more productive.
