While the dawn of spring may seem lightyears away, it’s never too late to pull out the all-purpose spray, the bleach, and the dish soap and start scrubbing the nooks and crannies of your family home. Don’t wait for the excuse of blossoming flowers, warming temperatures, and melting snow to kickstart your spring cleaning rituals. For some homeowners, “spring” cleaning can commence in the dead of winter, the midst of blazing summer heat, or at first sight of yellowing leaves. Whatever your preference, you’ll need to equip yourself with the latest spring cleaning tips and tricks.

8 Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Should you choose to delay your spring cleaning until the first sign of sprouting flowers and chirping birds, you’ll want to take advantage of the warmer weather and the first burst of fresh air. Capitalize on this opportunity by cleaning your closets, cabinets, and other living spaces that have accumulated more unsightly clutter than you’d ever care to admit.

The following spring cleaning tips help every homeowner and renter create the comfortable living sanctuary they deserve. Avoid living amongst dust, debris, and outdated knick-knacks. Adopt a minimalist approach for much-needed peace and serenity.

Clean Your Mattress

Your mattress collects dirt, dust, and debris as it ages. Unlike pillowcases and throw blankets, you can’t wash a mattress using standard methods, i.e., a washing machine. However, you can call professionals who offer commercial-strength products that quickly eliminate dust mites, dander, dust, and other bacteria particles from the surface of your mattress.

When you recruit the mattress-cleaning experts, the final product will be a fresher, cleaner sleeping surface. Keep in mind that you should replace the mattress every six to eight years to avoid sagging, which leads to back pain and restless nights.

When it is time to replace your mattress, Essentia’s collection of sleep surfaces will ensure quality, sound sleep for customers with various preferred sleeping positions and firmness levels. Don’t settle for a substandard mattress. Shop thoughtfully for a mattress tailored to your unique sleeping needs, and perform routine maintenance to extend the lifespan of your bed.

Work from top to bottom

When cleaning, start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor. This cleaning method ensures the surfaces that you’ve just cleaned stay clean. You’ll also cut cleaning time in half when you employ a top-to-bottom strategy during this annual deep cleaning spree.

Air quality 101

Did you know that indoor air quality is up to 10x worse than outdoor air quality? As the homeowner, you owe it to your family to improve air quality inside your living spaces. Changing air/furnace filters every three months (or sooner) and scheduling air duct cleaning are among the best solutions to improve your indoor air quality.

Don’t forget the baseboards

The amount of dirt and grime that collects on the baseboards may very well come as a surprise. Often, homeowners neglect the corners and deep crevices and focus on noticeable messes like spills and unfolded laundry.

When completing your spring cleaning checklist, don’t forget to dust and polish your home’s baseboards. While tedious, your home will sparkle brighter after a thorough baseboard cleaning, wowing houseguests and residents alike.

Choose the right Cleaning products

Spring cleaning often translates to dirt and dust flying through the air. The particles can aggravate our airways, making breathing difficult. Asthma and allergy sufferers are especially troubled by the dirty indoor air. Reduce the number of potential irritants by choosing natural cleaning products that won’t spread toxins throughout the home.

Set a schedule

Spring clean room by room. Devote a specific day for each activity on the spring cleaning list. For example, on Monday, you might clean windows in the bedrooms and sort closets. On Tuesday, the plan may include reorganizing cabinets and sanitizing your floors. With a set schedule in place, you’ll know what to clean and when to clean it.

Oven cleaning

Often forgotten, the oven accumulates a substantial amount of grease and grime over the course of a year, making oven cleaning a necessity for spring cleaning. For optimal results, use a degreasing oven cleaner to remove all the grime from the oven and restore the lost shine and sheen. Failure to properly clean your oven can result in declining performance, unpleasant fumes, or even health risks.

Cabinet rescue

Dust and grime can coat cabinet doors and cabinet interiors. On the inside of these storage spaces, spilled sauces and other food remnants contribute to messes.

To avoid this sticky residue, run the exhaust fan each time you cook to reduce grease. During spring cleaning, pay special attention to the cabinets and clean them with a tried-and-true cleaning solution comprising natural ingredients.

Conclusion

Boost your home’s property value by scrubbing, polishing, and dusting household surfaces regularly. While spring cleaning may pose a daunting task, it’s well worth the payoff. For a clean slate and a rejuvenating living space, perform spring cleaning rituals whenever you have a spare moment.
