Lets get prepared for the big spring clean
Spring cleaning is not just great for your home, but it is so good for your mind and mood too! Spring is a time of hope and positivity, making it the perfect season to get our homes in order so we can enjoy the glorious weather when it arrives.
The Spring Clean Toolkit
Before you dive in, ensure your tools are ready to go. A clean vacuum and a fresh set of cloths make all the difference!
Essential Gear
Prep for Success
Wear comfortable clothes, have a hearty breakfast for energy, and throw open the windows for a fresh blast of air to keep you motivated!
Follow a Winning Plan
Don't let the "mountain" of cleaning overwhelm you. Break it down and make it fun!
- Set the Date: Mark your diary for your big clean or download my 30-day spring cleaning challenge checklist—just one simple task a day!
- Room-by-Room: Walk around with a pen and paper to list exactly what needs doing. Ticking off tasks is so satisfying.
- No Distractions: Create a fun, motivational playlist, put your phone away, and don't even answer the door if you’re in the zone!
- Incentivise: Get the whole family involved. Even kids can help with safe tasks for a small reward.
Tasks to Tackle
- Banish cobwebs from high corners.
- Clean over the front door and bash the mats.
- Wash or steam curtains to remove winter dust.
- Deep clean and sort under all beds.
- Wash internal doors and polish handles.
- Clean out your dustbins.
- Wash window sills and touch up chipped paint.
- Move furniture to clean the "hidden" floor.
PRO TIP: Lift a room instantly by transitioning your scents! Swap heavy winter candles for fresh spring fragrances and switch to brighter cushion covers.
Declutter & Donate
Spring is the season for getting rid of the old to make room for the new. Before you clean, have a thorough decluttering session.
- Recycle & Donate: Charity shops and women’s shelters are always grateful for quality clothing.
- Make Some Cash: Organise a garage sale or car boot sale with the items you no longer need.
- Refresh: Replace unnecessary objects on shelves with a single arrangement of fresh flowers to bring instant happiness to any room.
