It is springtime in the beautiful city of Austin — which means it’s also time for spring cleaning! While everyone has their own process for sprucing up their home, here are 7 helpful spring cleaning tips that can help you get underway:
Clutter is one of the biggest obstacles to cleanliness. It even works against clear thinking! With that in mind, make sure that you focus on organizing your home, room by room. For instance:
Less clutter will mean less stress in your life. Couldn’t we all use that?
It just makes sense to clean from top to bottom when you get into the nitty-gritty of spring cleaning. For example, working that way will keep you from knocking dust onto a floor that you’ve already cleaned. If you have a vacuum with an extension hose, use that accessory to remove cobwebs as well as dust from your ceilings first.
Austin’s air has its fair share of pollen and allergens. That’s why it’s a good idea to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter if at all possible. A HEPA-certified vacuum will not only clean up visible dirt as well as dust from your carpeted areas; it will also trap those pesky contaminants like pet dander.
As you work on eliminating clutter from your home, it’s helpful to follow this 4-step process to make your work more effective:
You can also identify different possessions as belonging to one of the following categories: trash, give away, store, or keep.
The medicine cabinet can easily get overlooked during spring cleaning — but you don’t have to let it slip your mind. Make sure to organize your medicine cabinet at some point during your spring cleaning project.
Keep those items you use frequently front and center, as well as put other products in the back. See if any medications have expired, and replace them as needed. Downsize what you can in order to save space (e.g., take cotton swabs out of their original packaging and put them into more compact containers, like clear plastic bags).
Late spring and early summer in Austin can get real humid, real quick — which means you’ll need to have the A/C on. That’s why it’s good to replace your home’s air filters early on. You want to enjoy good indoor air quality when your air conditioning unit is running at peak capacity, and not have to worry about breathing in dust particles and allergens.
Remember that clean windows make everything look better! Your house will feel more open, and you’ll likely be in a better frame of mind. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean your windows, and let the light in!
