As winter loosens its frosty grip and spring begins to sneak its way in, it’s time to freshen up your home! Spring cleaning is not just about wiping away dust bunnies, it’s about breathing new life into our spaces. Let’s dive into this time-honored tradition with some tips to help you make the most of your spring-cleaning routine!
1. Let’s Get This Party Started: Embrace the Ritual of Spring Cleaning!
- Spring cleaning does not have to be painful and daunting, incorporate some fun into the process! Before you begin, download that audiobook you have been dying to read or podcast you keep hearing about. A fun distraction can make spring cleaning something you look forward to.
2. Create a Plan:
- Take inventory of the areas in your home that need attention.
- Break down your cleaning tasks into manageable sections, such as rooms or specific areas (e.g., closets, cabinets, windows).
- Set a realistic timeline for completing each task to avoid feeling overwhelmed. NOTE: You do NOT need to clean your entire house all at once! Spring cleaning can take a day, week, month, or whatever fits with your life and schedule is perfect for you.
2. Declutter:
- Start by decluttering each room or area before you begin deep cleaning.
- Donate or discard items you no longer need or use (if you no longer need it or use it, donate it or throw it away ASAP)
- Organize belongings into designated storage spaces to keep clutter at bay.
3. Clean from Top to Bottom:
- Work from the ceiling down to the floors to prevent dust and debris from settling on surfaces you have already cleaned.
- Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, and shelves before wiping down countertops, furniture, and baseboards.
- Vacuum or sweep floors last to remove any remaining dirt and dust.
4. Focus on High-Traffic Areas:
- Pay extra attention to areas that accumulate the most dirt and grime, such as entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms.
- Scrub surfaces, including countertops, sinks, and appliances, with disinfectant cleaners to kill germs and bacteria.
- Launder curtains, rugs, and bedding to refresh and remove built-up dust and allergens.
5. Tackle Neglected Spaces:
- Don’t forget about often overlooked areas, such as behind appliances, inside cabinets, and under furniture.
- Use a vacuum attachment or duster to reach tight spaces and crevices.
- Wipe down walls, switch plates, and door handles to remove fingerprints and smudges.
6. Refresh with Home Fragrance (Our Favorite Part!)
- After cleaning, add the perfect finishing touch to your home with a refreshing fragrance. We love using the AirMoji from MojiLife and a fresh Fragrance Pod.
- Choose scents that feel fresh and clean. This will be the icing on the cake after working hard to make your space sparkle. Not only will your space be clean, but it will also smell clean. We love citrus scents like MojiLife’s Fresh Lime & Coconut or Orange Orchard for the kitchen. Flower Child and Fresh Linens are other scents we are loving for spring.
- Change out your MojiLife scents once a week to continue that freshly clean vibe in your home!
With the power of home fragrance, you can turn your cleaning spree into a fragrant fairy tale, transforming every nook and cranny into springtime bliss. Grab your cleaning gear, crank up the scent-sational tunes, and make this spring-cleaning session the most fabulous one yet!
