Spring Cleaning: Tips and Tricks for a Fresh Start

Spring Cleaning: Tips and Tricks for a Fresh Start

Spring is the perfect time of year to start fresh and get your home in order. As the weather warms up and the days get longer, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and tackle the clutter and dust that may have accumulated over the winter months. 

 

 

Here are some tips and tricks to help you with your spring cleaning.

Make a plan

Before you begin, make a plan of what you want to accomplish. This can help you stay organized and motivated. Create a checklist of each room and the tasks you want to complete, and break it down into manageable steps. You can start with the most challenging tasks or prioritize the areas that need the most attention.

Declutter

Spring cleaning is the perfect time to declutter your home. Start by getting rid of items that you no longer need or use. Go through your closets, drawers, and cabinets and donate or sell items that you haven’t used in a year or more. This can help create more space and make it easier to organize your belongings.

Clean from top to bottom

Start at the top of each room and work your way down. This will help prevent dust and dirt from settling on surfaces that you have already cleaned. Use a microfiber cloth or duster to clean ceiling fans, light fixtures, and other high surfaces. Then move on to cleaning windows, walls, and floors.

Don’t forget the details

It’s easy to overlook small details, but they can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your home. Don’t forget to clean door knobs, light switches, and baseboards. You can use a toothbrush or small brush to get into tight spaces.

Use the right tools

Using the right tools can make cleaning easier and more efficient. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove dust and allergens from carpets and upholstery. A steam mop can help sanitize and clean hard floors without the use of harsh chemicals.

Take breaks

Spring cleaning can be a big job, so make sure to take breaks and stay hydrated. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes of cleaning, and then take a short break to stretch or grab a drink of water. This can help prevent burnout and keep you motivated.

In conclusion, spring cleaning can be a daunting task, but with a little planning and the right tools, it can be a breeze. By decluttering, cleaning from top to bottom, and paying attention to details, you can create a fresh and inviting home for the new season. Happy cleaning!

Knowledgeable- knows the market, so we followed his advise picking colors of our cupboards and style of our ceiling light remodel. Also updated our electrical and sent us pictures of things that weren’t safe and he fixed them to be up to code and safe. Reliable, affordable, and quality work!

This company is the best. We were having trouble with our water line. We first called a big name brand company that wanted to charge us $13,000 to fix. Eric at The Fix It Guy came over and he explained everything that they see and what they could do and did not charge us a arm and a leg to fix it. Highly recommend this company!

We recently purchased an older property that needed lots of work. After a long (and frustrating) search for help and meeting several so called professionals who never followed through on their word, we finally found Eric the Fix It Guy. With the help of his trusty crew, Eric has transformed our property with quality work at a reasonable cost. He is honest, dependable, and very good at his craft. He is always on time and full of good ideas. His quotes are always fair and accurate. We feel lucky to have found Eric the Fix It Guy and recommend him highly. Thank you Eric for all your help with our projects. You are the best!

Eric was very helpful when I really needed him. He did about 320 ft of trenching for me, and dismantled and hauled away a distressed building. Price was fair and I'd use him again for sure. Again, I really appreciate Eric's help.
