The winter months can quickly result in loads of clutter plus that overall lived-in look that comes with winter life. Here are some of Maidstr’s Spring Cleaning tips to get you on your way to a lighter brighter spring.
- Give winter duvets a good wash as you prepare to store them away for lighter bed covers.
- Clean out all your drawers. Over the winter months we collect a lot of “stuff” that piles up. Consider donating or cleaning out the things you have not used and make space for a lighter spring.
- Dust ceiling fans. Ceiling fans often remain unused in the winter months and make a perfect place for dust to collect over time. Safely clean your fan blades with a tool designed to do so.
- Clean out your refrigerator. Check expiration dates and discard of expired and uneaten products.
- Clean out your medicine cabinet and discard of medications (both prescription and over-the-counter). Contact your local pharmacy and ask about the same disposal of medication.
- De-clutter that desk and other counter tops. Over time any counter top seems to be the place things end up, especially when you are busy with life.
- Change the batteries in your smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms.
- Clean your windows and blinds.
- Wash and dust the baseboards in each room.
- Set aside a “fix things day”. This could include giving a fresh coat of paint to kitchen cabinets; fixing a broken toilet seat or just oiling cabinet and house doors that need it.
