Spring has finally sprung, and it’s that time to give your home the TLC it deserves. We will give you a rundown on the most important aspects of the spring clean to ensure the biggest clean of the year is a breeze. By following the simple steps listed below, you will be able to spend less time indoors and more time outdoors, feeling accomplished, enjoying the warmer months!

Essential items

The spring clean is undoubtedly the biggest of the year. You’re coming into those warmer months and it’s time to get those cleaning gloves out from the bottom of the sink and get stuck into it.  Firstly, to really get this spring clean into full swing you need a few pieces of equipment to get everything shining again.

You will generally have most of these cleaning products under your kitchen sink, which should consist of a duster, glass cleaner, multipurpose cleaner, a mop and a few cloths to give everything a wipe. With those items, you have practically everything you need to give your house a good refresh, therefore we suggest investing in a cleaning caddy so you can easily move all your products around the house.

If you live a busy lifestyle and prefer to get your spring clean done promptly, tick these 10 essential jobs off the list.

Vacuum all the floors

Nothing is better than taking your shoes off and walking on freshly vacuumed floors. Be sure to pick up items off the floor so you can get as much floor space cleaned as possible.

Dust all surfaces

Remove that winter build-up of dust by brushing a duster over all those awkward dusty surfaces.

Clean windows and mirrors

Use some glass cleaner and a dry cloth to give your windows the shine they deserve.

Degrease cooking appliances

With winter done and dusted, your cooking appliances need some love again. Use oven cleaner and multipurpose spray to overcome any residue.

Deep clean bedrooms

Use multipurpose cleaner and a cloth to rejuvenate the bedside tables, drawers and cupboards.

Mop hard surfaces

Simply mop the areas that are most prone to dirty feet and paws.

Clean the inside of the fridge

The fridge can easily be forgotten, throw out any expired products, then re-organise and clean surfaces with a cloth and multipurpose spray.

Dust and clean blinds/curtains

Use a duster to get in behind your curtains and blinds to remove any hibernating Winter dust.

Declutter living spaces

Organise all your nick-nacks back into shelving and cabinets which can be easily accessible in future.

Clean bathrooms and toilets

Clean all surfaces of the bathroom and toilets with a multi-purpose spray. If your bathroom has grime or mould built up, it might be time to bring in the big guns and buy some bleach or grime remover.
