Spring is the perfect time to open up the windows in your house and clean every corner, but there’s no reason to spend more time on this task than necessary.
Use KingKho’s simple spring cleaning tips to quickly get your home as tidy and spotless as possible.
Get the right Spring Cleaning supplies
Check what supplies you need to gather before the spring cleaning. Once you figure out what you need, be sure to choose the most effective and powerful cleaning supplies so that the product is doing most of the work – and not you.
Clean room by room
If you clean one room at a time, you won’t feel overwhelmed. You will instantly see the results of your productivity and not get discouraged.
Work smarter, not harder
Don’t scrub any more than necessary. Simple steps like soaking pots and pans before you scrub them, waiting for cleaning products to sit before you wipe down surfaces, and using the self-cleaning setting on your oven can save you tons of time.
We Need to Talk About Your Dirty Sponges 😉
Did you know your cleaning supplies, such as sponges or microfiber cloths, are most likely the dirtiest items in your home? It goes without saying that you can’t effectively spring cleaning your home with dirty supplies. So be sure to disinfect sponges or other cleaning supplies in a mixture of one part bleach and nine parts water for 30 seconds.
Don’t forget the often forgotten items 😉
There are several items in our homes that we often forget to clean on a regular basis. Among forgotten items are those spots behind the oven, bathroom exhaust fans, refrigerator coils, and window coverings.
Focus on the MIAs
Focus on the Most Important Areas, or MIAs. When deciding which area to choose, think about the most visible ones, like the living room or home office.
Get rid of the clutter
You can never truly have a clean and tidy home if you have too much stuff. When spring cleaning out your things, remember the 80/20 rule: Only 20 percent of the items we own are truly important — so 80 percent of our belongings are just getting in the way. Either dispose of them, or rent a mini storage unit for example at KingKho.
Find ways to be more efficient
While you are spring cleaning and organizing your home, take note of all the clutter that you most often find. For example, if you are finding that most of your clutter is paper, figure out the best ways to go paperless throughout the year.
