How to Do Spring-Cleaning Right

June 16, 2017 in Mom Life

No matter what your hygiene habits are, spring-cleaning seems to always be a necessity. With winter coming to a close and spring starting to bloom, there’s no better time to declutter your home and breathe fresh air for the first time in months. For sure, the winter has made a major mess out of your home, but that’s nothing a good spring-cleaning session can’t fix.

A lot of us may not be as clean to spring-cleaning as we should be, but it is an essential activity to do at least once a year. Not only does doing so give your home an overhaul, it will also do your health a lot of good. Once you get rid of unnecessary clutter in every corner of your home, dusting your surfaces is an important part of this activity. With dust and debris stuck to your walls and furniture, it can be so easy to trigger nasty allergies and other health conditions.

Spring-cleaning is not a walk in the park, and there are appropriate steps to follow if you truly want to be productive on this activity. Not all of us are fond of keeping things spic and span, but it’s not difficult to achieve, especially if we make it a goal to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy inside our own homes.

An organized method is what you need to spring clean like the pros. Make sure you know what to do before you pick your brooms and dusters. Here’s an infographic from Microfiber Wholesale to tell you how:

    That’s totally what you need, a little organization before the actual cleaning. A schedule saves my life when it comes to cleaning the whole house!

    We just did a huuuuge spring cleaning last week! It feels so good to put away all of our winter gear and start the summer off on a fresh and clean foot. I really love the tips your shared. I like to work from the back to the front as well.
