SPRING CLEANING 4 EASY TIPS

That time of year is already upon us in certain parts of the country, and not too far off for others! Where flowers start to bloom, days start to feel a bit longer, and sunshine and warmth starts pouring in!

Springtime makes me want to open the all of the windows, and give our home a good deep clean! If you’re anything like me, and looking for some tips for freshening up your space, keep reading!

1. Deep clean baseboards, light fixtures & blinds

These are the areas of our home that can be forgotten all winter long, but taking a duster or rag and bucket of warm water with your favorite cleaner (we love Thieves!) and a sponge can make all the difference in truly deep cleaning these dust collectors!

2. Change Air Filters

It helps so much if you remember to change these regularly. Especially in spring when the pollen is out full force! I love adding a drop of lemon, lavender and peppermint essential oils to my new ones, before installing them!

3. Purge

Now is the time to release the things that aren’t serving you! I like to carry a garbage bag and a donate bag around my home, and be ruthless about it! Start with one area that has been a source of overwhelm (i.e. your closet, under the bathroom sink, your linen closet, kitchen junk drawer etc.) and get purging!

4. Organize

I love to organize the spaces around our home! this bit of intentionality makes life run more smoothly for our family! Pick up a couple of new bins and baskets, to get yourself extra motivated! Keeping things contained with other similar items makes your home feel put together, and helps to clear your brain space at the same time!

I’d love to know, what are your favorite ways to get your home in tip top shape for spring!?
