It may have been a mild Wisconsin winter, but that doesn’t mean the house isn’t in need of a good spring cleaning! It’s that time of the year again, to get out your trusty cleaning gloves and tackle what winter has left behind. Here are 6 spring cleaning tips that can make cleaning your house seem like a breeze.

1. Formulate A Plan & Set Reasonable Goals

There may be areas of your home that need more cleaning than others, so it is important that you make a list of those rooms that need the most attention. Make this plan reasonable so that you don’t become frustrated after a few hours of cleaning.

This list may look something like this:

• Wipe walls and ceiling
• Vacuum and shampoo rugs
• Dust Books and Shelves
• Wash window screens
• Clean window treatments
• Ensure fire safety

2. Check for Cleaning Supplies

Make sure that you have all the supplies you’ll need to clean your household. Nothing is worse than starting a project and not being able to finish it because you ran out of something like window cleaner. It may also be a good idea to stay away from chemicals in your cleaning supplies; white vinegar and baking soda are some safe cleaning aids.

3.Clean each Room from Top to Bottom

Gravity can be your best friend when cleaning your household. Starting from your ceiling to your floor is a good way to make sure you don’t miss some dust bunnies that may have fell while you were cleaning the ceiling fan. You done want to have to re-clean your glass table
just minutes after finishing it.

4. Involve your Children

This may be a difficult task but if you can it will make cleaning your house a easier and less stressful experience. It is also a good way to have family bonding time so try to make a game out of it. Creating a game like who has the cleanest room will keep them focused on the task of cleaning. Bribing your kids with an ice cream treat or their favorite toy can be a great way to keep them motivated. This may also be a great opportunity for you to just sit down and relax.

5. Focus on a Small Job First

If you tackle a large job first it may become overwhelming. Start with something small so that you have a sense of accomplishment early. Also starting with a larger room may distract you from other areas that really need to be cleaned.

6. Make a Daily Cleaning Schedule

You don’t want all that hard work to go to waste in a week. Making a daily schedule will ensure that your house continues to look like a model home, at least until the next spring cleaning!
