The winter chill is starting to lift. The days are getting longer, the sun is getting stronger and the pollen in the air has made it hard to breathe… yup it’s official, spring is here! With the change of winter into spring comes the exciting task of spring cleaning and getting your space ready to welcome warm weather for the next five or so months.
Spring cleaning can be as simple as putting away your heavy winter coats and replacing them with lighter spring jackets or as complex as renovating your entire place to make way for new flowers, décor and other household staples. It doesn’t matter when or where you start, spring cleaning is a sure way to lift your spirits in anticipation for sunnier days ahead. Whether you want to do a deep clean or a light dusting, we’ve got a few spring cleaning tips to help get you started!
- Change Your Doormat
Your doormat has probably been a life saver all winter collecting dirt, snow, salt and other winter mess from your house guests’ shoes. Now that a new season is upon us, it’s time to replace your winter doormat with something a bit more spring-like that not only looks like sunshine but also makes your home feel more warm and ready for something new. You can even consider using two door mats, one outside and one inside, to keep dirt from entering your home altogether and make the cleaning process easier moving forward
- Clean Your Microwave
There’s nothing worse than a disgusting microwave and if yours is due for a cleaning, this Good Housekeeping hack can help. Place a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water and a chopped-up lemon, lime, or orange or several tablespoons of vinegar inside. Turn the microwave on high for a few minutes or until the solution boils. Then, let it sit for 15 minutes before opening the door. Once the time is up, remove and wipe the inside and outside with a sponge.
