The winter can be long and dreary, but with spring comes warm weather and a fresh start. Giving your home a good spring cleaning can be a great idea and allow you to get rid of the winter funk that your home may have gotten into during the long winter months. Besides just simply opening up the windows to let in the fresh air of spring, there are a few cleaning ideas that will really come in handy as you transition your home from winter to spring. The mustiness of winter can be long gone in a flash if you just know where to start and which spring cleaning methods will make the biggest difference to your home.
Make Your Faucets Sparkle
One part of your home that could be ready for a spring makeover is your faucets. Your faucets can become dingy and may show signs of water stains. This is common and something that can take away from the clean look of your home. One easy way that you can wipe away water stains from the surface of your faucets is to use lemon. Lemon is a natural cleanser that you can use to easily get rid of any water stains that might be visible on your faucets. The best part is that the fresh scent of lemon will also accompany the shiny new looking faucets that you can achieve after using this cleaning tip.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
Chances are you have vacuumed all winter long, but that dusty winter smell might still be lingering within your home. If you really want to get rid of the stale air and give your home a fresh clean start for spring, it is a great idea to have your carpets professionally cleaned. This is the perfect choice after the long winter months. When you have your carpets professionally cleaned you get access to the best results. Carpet cleaning services can be really affordable and many companies offer spring savings that allow you to save big. This will help you to have clean looking carpets that look like new and allow your home to achieve that new spring feeling that you desire. Instead of throwing out the old, you can simply make the old look like new.
Furniture Dusting
One spring cleaning method that can help you rid your home of the winter funk is to dust and clean your furniture. Dust collects all the time, but it seems like it collects at warp speed during the winter months since the dust has no way to escape. This means that choosing to dust your all the nooks and crannies of your home right at the start of spring can be a great way to give your home a new shine and a clean feel. You can use a fresh scented duster that also helps to improve the scent of your home all over. I’d recommend passing on those expensive disposable Swiffer dusters and instead opting for the classic microfiber cloth with a bit of dusting spray if you’d like. You can use them again and again and you’ll save a ton of money in the long run.
Power Washing
The inside of your home might get a lot of attention during spring cleaning, but you can’t forget about the exterior. It can be a great idea to power wash the outside of your home and give it a fresh start for spring.
