Spring has officially sprung! And of course, what better way to welcome this season than to have a major spring cleaning at home. A lot of people may be wondering why out of all the seasons, we chose spring as the time for major cleaning and decluttering. Spring has always been regarded as the season for fresh starts, and for one, cleaning and organizing is a great way to jumpstart our "new" life. Waking up to a clean and organized home uplifts you and improves your mood which makes you even more inspired to live life. So what are you waiting for? Open up your windows, let the spring breeze air out your home and let's get down to business.
Many people find spring cleaning as a daunting task. Well, who doesn't? If you think about it, a thorough house cleaning can really be quite an overwhelming idea especially if you don't know where to start. The key to effective spring cleaning is to break down your tasks into manageable sizes. Working on small tasks one a time can help you see your progress much easier which in return, motivates you to even do more cleaning.Â
Spring cleaning is all about purging and decluttering. It's a time to clean and reduce clutter around the house, so might as well take this opportunity to get rid of the things that you no longer need in your "new" life. Here's a nice tip. Set up four bins and label them accordingly : THROW, KEEP, SELL, and GIVE AWAY. This way, it would be easier for you to segregate what you want to keep from what you want to get rid of.Â
Space allocation is the key to effective organization. Once you have sorted everything that you want to keep, it is important to designate a place or a space for them to go. If you need to buy storage boxes, then do so. Those storage contraptions are heaven sent, I'm telling you. Once you know where your stuff are placed, it will be much easier to retrieve them once you need to use them. Labelling stuff is also a good idea. It's time to unleash your inner obsessive compulsiveness and go on a label frenzy.
Once you're done cleaning and organizing your home, it would be nice if you try your best to keep it that way as long as you can. It's important that you maintain the tidiness of the place or else all your efforts of cleaning and organizing would just be worthless. Happy spring cleaning!
