Embrace the Fresh Start of Spring with a Deep Cleaning and Decluttering Session

As the days get longer, the flowers start to bloom, and the birds sing their sweet melodies, it’s clear that spring has arrived. With the changing of seasons comes an opportunity for a fresh start in our homes. Spring cleaning is not only about tidying up and decluttering but also about rejuvenating our living spaces. In this blog post, we will explore some tips on how to tackle your spring cleaning and decluttering tasks effectively. We’ll also discuss how utilizing a self storage unit can help you create more space in your home.

Decluttering: Before diving into deep cleaning, it’s essential to declutter your space first. Start by going room by room and sorting items into three categories: keep, donate/sell, and trash. Consider renting a self storage unit to store items you want to keep but don’t have space for in your home. This will help create a clutter-free environment and make cleaning easier.

Sorting for a storage unit: If you decide to store items in a self storage unit, be sure to organize your belongings accordingly. Label boxes clearly with contents so you can easily find what you need later on. Group similar items together for efficient storage and easy access.

Organic cleaning supplies: When it comes to spring cleaning, using organic cleaning supplies is not only better for the environment but also safer for you and your family. Consider using natural products like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and essential oils for mopping floors or washing down cabinets and furniture.

Inside home cleaning checklist: Some areas inside your home that typically need attention during spring cleaning include dusting ceiling fans and light fixtures, wiping down baseboards and trim work, washing windows inside and out, shampooing carpets or steam-cleaning rugs, organizing closets and drawers, deep-cleaning appliances like ovens and refrigerators, and cleaning and vacuuming behind couches and other large pieces of furniture.

Outside home cleaning checklist: Outdoor spring cleaning tasks may include power washing houses’ exterior siding or brickwork, sidewalks, driveways; trimming bushes or trees; clearing gutters of debris; planting new flowers or shrubs; checking outdoor lighting fixtures; inspecting outdoor furniture for any repairs needed.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth both outside in nature as well as within our homes. By embracing the season with a thorough deep clean and declutter session, you can create a fresh start in your living space that will uplift your mood and increase productivity throughout the year. Remember to utilize self storage units for storing seasonal items or belongings you want to keep but don’t have room for at home. Happy spring cleaning!
