There is an amazing feeling that comes from walking into a clean, organized home—especially when that home belongs to you! Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to transform your home into a tranquil retreat for you and your family. It is also a necessity—removing dust, dirt, and pet hair from your home is important for your health (especially for those with allergies).

• Eliminate clutter! Donate or sell everything you don’t need or want. Less “stuff” makes it easier to clean and organize your home.

• Clean each room from top to bottom. Start with ceiling fans/light fixtures, move on to walls and furniture, and end with floors.

• Wash walls, baseboards, and woodwork with warm water, dish soap, and a cloth/sponge.

• Wash windows and vacuum blinds and curtains.

• Update your rooms without spending a lot of money by replacing linens, towels, shower curtains, area rugs, and pillows.

• Use microfiber cloths instead of paper towels. You can wash and reuse them.

• Clean out the fridge—throw away old food and wipes shelves with a damp cloth. Do the same with your cabinets.

• Shampoo your carpets. You can rent/buy a carpet cleaner or have them cleaned professionally.

• Leave your shoes at the door and train other members of your household to do the same.

• Keep door mats at every entrance. Sweep your porch, patio, and entryways daily to keep dirt from coming into your house.

• Designate a space for everyone’s stuff (baskets and bins work great) so it doesn’t end up all over the house.
