Make a Spring Cleaning Checklist
A spring cleaning checklist can help you get more done in less time. It’s so easy to customize the list to match your unique cleaning needs, too. List the things you want to accomplish, such as clearing or organizing specific rooms, catch-all drawers, or closets. Then break large areas into specific things you need to clean, like mopping floors or washing walls. Cross each task off your spring cleaning checklist when you complete it.
Start With the Thing You Dislike Cleaning the Most
After making a checklist of tasks, one of the top cleaning tips is to get your most hated task out of the way. Think of the one thing that bugs you every time you see it but you keep putting off cleaning. Power through it, then give yourself a pat on the back before moving on to the next thing. Everything just seems easier with your most hated cleaning task out of the way.
Clear Away Physically Large Items
Get items that are large in size out of the way, especially if you plan to get rid of them anyway. Getting bigger items out of the way creates space, and the work can give you a boost from seeing the difference it makes. This can make your spring cleaning feel like it's moving along faster, plus others are likely to notice sooner.
Sort as You Clean
Set up some extra containers and a trash receptacle before you begin cleaning. This saves you time and removes the need to make extra steps. Consider one container for each person or room in the home. While you're picking up smaller items and throwing out trash, put items in the chosen person’s container. That way you don’t have to spend time moving each item more than once. Then move the containers to the rooms they belong in when they get full.
Organization of Drawers
Organization of drawers can make it easier to find things when you're in a hurry. In the kitchen, consider putting items like kitchen utensils in a drawer near the stove or microwave. In the bathroom, try setting up a personal drawer for each family member, if space allows. Or add small containers inside a drawer for each person to store things.
