Effective Spring Cleaning of Your Home

I know you've been avoiding this subject all winter and probably hate Spring Cleaning more than about any chore around the home. It need not be that worrisome for you if you just prepare and then organize for the battle that is before you. Please consider these tips and then follow them closely to make your project seem not quite so impossible.

1. File and Organize / Before you even begin, take stock of the mess around you. Are newspapers all over the floor? Are magazines lying around? Do you have sheets of papers as in bills, flyers and letters lying around on tables or other surfaces?

Get the papers organized in a something that is both decorative and functional. Letters and bills can go into decorative letter holders, or into files hidden out of sight. Magazine racks, good-looking ones, that is, are wonderful for keeping your newspapers as well as magazines. The key thing is to train everyone in the household to put things where they belong. Magazines and newspapers go into the rack or else.. come up with a deterrent to motivate them.

Don't you hate it when halfway through cleaning the bedroom, you need something and you have to go all the way to the store room to get it?

Get a pail or container and put everything you need for your spring cleaning in it. Detergents, soaps, brushes, spare gloves, polish, the works. Carry that around with you as you go from room to room.

2. Pick out a selection of your favorite music and prepare a sound system so that music can be transported with you as your clean from room to room. This suggestion or tip may sound a bit strange, but I promise you, there is nothing quite like a good pick me up song to get into the rhythm of cleaning. I do the same thing every weekend when it's time to do the household chores. There is nothing quite like scrubbing to Earth, Wind and Fire.

3. Wear Gloves and proper clothing / Protect your hands as you clean your home. Wear gloves to keep the irritating detergents away. Dry cracked skin can be avoided if you remember to wear gloves throughout your cleaning mission. After cleaning the home and taking a shower, app;u a good hand cream to protect your hands and at night, put on cotton gloves after you apply hand cream, just before you sleep.

4. Work from top down / Think of gravity. The dust you brush off higher surfaces will end up on the lower surfaces. Clean the tops of cupboards, the lights and everything high up first, move on to the lower furnishings and when everything else is done, then tackle the floor. Think of your cleaning project as a grid and work from top to bottom or side to side.

5. Flowers and Freshness / Once the house is all cleaned up, brighten your home with fresh flowers. Reward yourself with long lasting flowers that are in season.

6. Makeover / Give your home a makeover with new bedspreads, curtains, floor mats and towels. The bedding dresses up the bedrooms. Curtains dress up every room. Towels and shower curtains give your bathroom a makeover and floor mats add the finishing touches.

Decorate the home with scented candles that fill the air with delightful fragrance when lit. Turn your home into special haven for your family.

Reward yourself with a gorgeous new home now that you have decluttered, cleaned and organized everything.

I never said that house cleaning is fun but it can be very rewarding. You will sense a bit of pride in your home, proud of your efforts and even ready to invite friends and neighbors over. You now have something you can be proud of. You have prepared and completed a huge task and there is reason to celebrate.
