Spring is nearly here, and that means it’s time to do another round of deep cleaning around the house. Before shuttering yourself away for a weekend with an arsenal of cleaning supplies, consider these quick tips on what not to do when spring cleaning this year. It just might save you time, money and a lot of stress.
- Starting without a plan
Blindly leaping into your spring cleaning duties can lead to missed cleaning opportunities, leaving your home with dirt and dust in unexpected places. This will lead to more time spent cleaning, as you will have to double your efforts in any spaces where cleaning opportunities may have been missed.
Always break down your spring cleaning tasks on paper before beginning. This way, you can be sure of what all cleaning supplies you need to purchase and what all cleaning duties you need to complete.
- Not looking up
Saturday is almost over, but you’re done cleaning the kitchen. The floor is sparkling. The countertops are glistening. It’s a hard day’s work done, but something’s amiss. You look up, just now realizing that you forgot to clean the ceiling. As you wipe down the dusty fan blades and light fixtures, dirt and muck begin falling all over the living space. Now you have to start your kitchen cleaning all over again.
