Winter's on the way out, making room for spring's fresh breeze. This season is a symbol of new beginnings, not just in nature, but also in our homes.
In families, we've learned that spring should be the season for a top-to-bottom clean-up and airing out the household. But we all know getting started can sometimes be the hardest part, so we've decided to make it a bit easier for you. Here are 5 tips to help you dive into spring cleaning.
1. Craft Your Cleaning Game Plan
Spring cleaning doesn't have to be a weekend marathon. Break it down into bite-sized tasks and create your cleaning roadmap. This way, you can spread the cleaning over several days or even weeks, avoiding overwhelm and the feeling that spring cleaning is an insurmountable challenge.
Start with the rooms and areas you're least eager to clean. By tackling them first, you'll get them out of the way sooner, leaving you with more enjoyable tasks later on that won't weigh you down.
2. Get the Whole Household Involved
Enlist other members of your household to join in and divide the work together. Put on some upbeat tunes while cleaning to make time fly by. Keep a cheerful and pleasant mood to make the job feel less dull.
3. Sort Out the Unnecessary Stuff
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to take stock of what you have at home and get rid of things you no longer use or need. It's time to separate the wheat from the chaff:
- Give, sell, or recycle clothes and items that just take up space. Make use of organizers, boxes, and bins to keep the rest in shipshape and Bristol fashion.
- Don't forget to set aside time for those piled-up stacks of papers. Go through your documents, toss out the outdated ones, and stash away the important papers and contracts so you always have them at your fingertips.
- Don't skip over even the pantry or cupboard where you store your groceries. You might finally bid farewell to unwanted visitors like moths, little black beetles, or ants. They love to settle in foods like flour, spices, or legumes, especially if they've been open and stored improperly for a long time. So, go through all your supplies, containers, and packages, and then transfer them into new, clean containers and sealable bags.
4. Arm Yourself With the Right Tools And Products
Nowadays, you don't need to resort to harsh chemicals to tackle stains or dust around the house. Don't hesitate to give eco-friendly cleaning agents a try; they're not only gentle on your health but also on the environment.
Instead of splurging on a new towel or cloth, consider decluttering your wardrobe and set aside old bedsheets or t-shirts to serve as a perfect alternative.
Add an eco-friendly and aromatic twist to your cleaning routine. Stock up on lemons, natural soap, baking soda, salt, or vinegar. These natural ingredients not only work wonders in spring cleaning but also leave your home fresh and fragrant.
5. For the Perfect Finishing Touch, Add Some Scent
Finally, don't forget the detail that can truly bring your home to life - scent. You can enhance the fresh and clean environment even more with home scents.
And it's precisely Puella's products that hit the spot, offering a wide array of scents to give your home that perfect touch. Whether you're into floral notes or the freshness of citrus, the right scent can positively influence your mood and your sense of home.
