With the warm weather arriving and colorful flowers beginning to bloom, spring has finally arrived and now is the perfect time to clean your home to begin the season fresh. Use these five tips to make the most of your next cleaning session:

1. First Declutter, Then Deep Clean
Before you dive into scrubbing and washing your kitchen cabinets and fridge, sort through all of your pantry items to check for anything that has gone bad or expired. Once these have been removed, you’re able to get a better understanding of how to organize your belongings best for your lifestyle. 

2. Clean Your Equipment 
What’s worse than beginning to mop your floors and then realize the mop was filled with dust? Before you clean, wipe down your vacuum, mop, broom and any other cleaning equipment you’ll be using to make sure you have a fresh start.

3. Prioritize, Prioritize, Prioritize
It can be easy to become overwhelmed when thinking about every nook and cranny in your home that needs to be decluttered, cleaned and organized. Ease your mind by making a list room-by-room of the tasks you need to complete, with your priorities (like changing an air filter) listed first and secondary tasks (like dusting a baseboard) listed last.

4. Check Out Local Programs
Many cities and towns offer spring cleaning programs where you can safely and easily drop off hazardous items like electronics, chemicals, expired batteries and even leftover paint to be properly disposed of. 

5. Get Your Household Involved
Whether you live with a roommate, a spouse or kids, by involving your entire household in spring cleaning you can create a fun game of it. Why not race to see who can complete a task first and let the winner pick where to get dinner from?

The best part of spring cleaning? There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Grab a broom, get started and your home will be sparkling in no time at all.
