5 TIPS TO GET A JUMP START ON YOUR SPRING CLEANING TASKS

5 TIPS TO GET A JUMP START ON YOUR SPRING CLEANING TASKS


It’s never too early to get a jump start on your spring cleaning tasks. In order to ensure you’re making the most of your time and energy, be sure to employ these five tips.

5 TIPS TO GET A JUMP START ON YOUR SPRING CLEANING TASKS

Before you roll up your sleeves and get down to the nitty-gritty, be sure you’ve made a plan.

1. IDENTIFY PROBLEM AREAS.

Not all spring-cleaning tasks are as important as others. If you already know of some problem areas, make sure you tackle them first. Plus, as an added bonus, having a list to work from will keep you from getting distracted and overwhelmed, exponentially increasing your odds of success.

2. STOCK UP ON STORAGE BINS AND CLEANING SUPPLIES.

If you’re going to make the best use of your time, you need to be sure you first have all the tools you’ll need handy and at your disposal. Be sure to purchase storage bins, plenty of large trash bags, and a healthy stock of cleaning supplies before you get started.  

3. WORK OUT-TO-IN.

Working out-to-in is a great method to make sure you don’t miss any spaces, items, or areas that need your attention. 

  • Work from the outside of the house to the inside (windows, doorways, etc.)
  • Work from the outside of furniture and appliances to the inside (cabinets, refrigerators, etc.)

Holding to an outside-to-inside method will keep you from bouncing around and getting lost in your tasks. 

4. SAVE THE FLOORS FOR LAST.

Though the floors may feel like high-priority areas (especially in the corners and around the baseboards), definitely save this task for last. Working from the top down allows dust to settle in the lowest areas, meaning cleaning the floors should generally be the last item on your list.

5. CURATE THE PERFECT SOUNDTRACK.

Whether you love rock anthems, pop songs, gospel music, or classical string quartets, few things stir the blood quite like the good beat of a well-loved song. A solid soundtrack playing while you clean can go a long way toward keeping you motivated and energized to complete your spring cleaning tasks.
