 In Blog

Birds are chirping and there’s life in the air. But elsewhere, a darkness lingers, a dread you can’t avoid. OK, your apartment can’t be that bad, can it? Even if it is, cleaning your apartment can be surprisingly easy with the right playbook. Here are eight easy tips for a fresh and clean apartment this spring.

Start With the Tough Jobs First

Some are able to just start working on their cleaning without a problem. Maybe you’re not one of those people. Identify the number one task you don’t want to do it and force yourself to do it. Getting over the largest hurdle on your spring cleaning to-do list might be just what motivates you to carry on.

Declutter to Give Yourself Some Space

Spring-CleaningHow are you supposed to clean your apartment when you’re tripping over everything you own? Chances are, you’ve accumulated a lot that you don’t really need. Recycle, throw out, donate, or if you can, sell what you don’t use to give yourself breathing room.

Sort Through the Mess

Much can be fixed with a little organization. Introduce some storage to your closet, or finally organize those statements into a file drawer. Tuck away what you can in an orderly fashion. You might be surprised by how clean your apartment already looks.

Go Room by Room to Stay on Top of Things

You might have a lot to get done, but pacing between your rooms and looking at everything you have to do surely isn’t going to help. By sticking to one room at a time, you stay on-task and get a sense of accomplishment when you finish each room.

Dust, Sweep, Mop, Wipe

You know what to do here. Some people stick to just sweeping, but to really give your apartment that just-like-new feeling, dust and sweep your apartment, then give it a mop where necessary. Your floor will shine, and your apartment will smell great.

Don’t Forget Your Appliances

It’s easy to forget about the toaster, the microwave, and the fridge when you’re in the midst of cleaning, but you’ll be happy you cleaned them when you go to use them the next day. ‘

Open Your Windows and Let in Some Fresh Air

After this winter, you’d almost forgotten about open windows, right? While it may be too early in the year to keep your windows open all day, leaving them open for half an hour toward the end and after your apartment cleaning will cycle out all the stale air and really give your apartment that fresh feeling.

Make It Fun

Spring cleaning is, by definition, a chore. But you don’t have to treat it like one. See if you can enlist the help of a friend to pass the time more easily and even save you a bit of work. If your apartment is in such a state of disrepair that you’d rather no one on the outside saw it, work alone while listening to music and get into the work. If you make it fun, it won’t see like such a job.

You know your apartment better than anyone else, so you’ll know best how to clean it. But if you follow these tips, you’ll hopefully find it goes a little quicker and a little easier!
