5 Spring Cleaning Tips To Refresh Your Home
Spring is right around the corner – which means it’s time for spring cleaning!
Spring cleaning has become an annual tradition to refresh our homes, which advocates wellness by keeping your surroundings clean and organized. Moreover, it contributes to extending the feeling of a new beginning brought on by a new year well into the warmer months.
To learn some of the tips in refreshing your home, keep reading…
1. Create a Schedule
The thought of having to clean every corner of your home can be overwhelming.
Take a seat, grab a notepad, and sketch out your home. You can organize it by room or by areas that need the most attention. It is easier to begin when large tasks are broken down into smaller ones. Having a plan in place will help you stay focused on the task at hand, regardless of where you start.
2. Clear the Clutter
It may be the most dreadful task, but oh so necessary.
We have a tendency to keep clothes, trinkets, or even garbage that we don’t need or want! Now is the perfect time to go through your belongings and decide what you want to keep and what you don’t.
Start with your clothes. You can choose to take everything out and create a sell, donate, and keep pile. You can try Marie Kondo’s popular method of asking yourself if each piece of clothing sparks joy as you go through it. After you’ve gone through your clothes, go through your drawers and cabinets. If you’re feeling brave, start going through those “throw-away” closets and drawers (you know you have them) to find items that are no longer serving you.
You might be surprised at how much better you feel after removing unnecessary stress from your life.
3. Perform a Deep Clean
It would be difficult for anyone to relax in a home that has a thick layer of dust, pet dander, or mildew.
Your deep cleaning routine should include:
- Washing / vacuuming the mattress
- Washing the sheets and pillows
- Disinfecting the railings
- Wiping the walls of high traffic areas
- Cleaning the windows
This is an excellent time to clean areas or objects that have been overlooked. Deep cleaning is beneficial not only to your mental health but also to your physical health!

4. Set a New Tone
It’s time for the softer and brighter throw pillows to liven up the space!
Having a dark space greatly affects our mood and productivity. Still have Christmas decors up? It’s time to take them down and store them back to where they belong – back in the basement!
Welcome the new season with a bright and relaxing space to set a new tone for the household. Allow as much natural light to shine through or add some green elements like a house plant.
5. Establish New Cleaning Habits
Now everything’s all set and done, maintenance is key.
It is essential to establish new cleaning habits in order to keep your home fresh and clean. Make a note of how frequently certain areas need to be cleaned. As a result, your next spring clean will be less of a chore. Living in a clean environment allows you to have a clear mind and a better sense of well-being.
