Traditionally, the springtime thaw is the perfect time to give your home a deep cleaning. However, it can be hard to get started with what may seem like such a daunting task. Broken down into a few easy steps, though, spring cleaning can become an efficient and simple process. Work from top to bottom

The best way to clean your whole house is by working from the top to the bottom.

You need to consider working from the top of a room and save to floors for last. For example, dust a ceiling fan and clean the windows before vacuuming so you don’t end up cleaning twice if dust and dirt fall on the floor. Also, it is best to clean your second floor first – this way you aren’t carrying the vacuum cleaner up and down after you’ve already been working for hours downstairs. Dealing with Windows

In the colder months, the spaces between your glass windowpanes and your safety screens tend to acquire large amounts of dust, dirt, and dead bugs.

When the weather warms, opening those windows to let in a warm spring breeze can be a nasty surprise when you find winter’s mess.

Cleaning windows can be a challenge, but with the right tools, it will be so easy. The easiest way to clean your windows is with a

Because of the sometimes still alive bugs and the chemicals in cleaners, it’s best to wear a pair of disposable rubber gloves while you clean.

Taking care of floors

While vacuuming up the pet hair and dirt on your floors seems like it gets the job done, floors need a good deep cleaning just like everything else at home.

Getting rid of the hidden mess in your floors requires that you clean them differently. 

Tile

Mopping is the only way to really clean your tile floor, and the best mixtures are bleach/water or vinegar/lemon juice/water. 

Both work exceptionally well when you mop vigorously; make sure you choose based on which smell you mind the least.

Carpet

Professional steam cleaning is the only way to go if you want to know with absolute certainty that your carpets are dirt and dander free.

Although you may think it’s an expensive process, most local cleaners offer savings in the spring months; they’ll clean a variety of rooms for one price that is discounted.

You can hang onto your money without sacrificing a great high-quality clean.

The process usually takes a few hours and you won’t be able to walk on the carpets until they’re dry, so plan accordingly. Hopefully stress-free spring cleaning is now at your fingertips, so enjoy your results!
