Now that winter is finally over, spring is the perfect time to dig out your cleaning supplies to get your home organized and spotless!

To make spring cleaning easier, here are a few tips:

1. Top down, inside to out: To avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again, start upstairs and work your way down. Similarly, clean inside first, followed by outside so you aren’t bringing in excess dirt.

2. Twice as nice: Try your best to do multiple chores at once. For example, while cleaning the bathroom, you can have your oven set to clean, your spouse vacuuming and a load of laundry running.

3. A clear view: Many people don’t think about the amount of dust and dirt that collects on windows through the fall and winter. Use warm water with dishwashing liquid and scrub each screen lightly with a brush. Make sure to rinse thoroughly. For perfectly clean windows, gently wet the glass with cleaning solution like Windex and wipe starting at an upper corner and continue straight down. Newspaper is cheap and is great for cleaning glass.

4. The more the merrier: Getting your family involved will not only help you finish faster but it’ll be more fun!
