When school is out
Seasonal house cleaning before summer vacation means that now it is time to tackle the children’s bedrooms and play area. Once you have the kid’s rooms cleaned and organized, you will be free to indulge in a countless number of fun projects to keep the kids busy while they are out of school for the summer. Consider the following tips to help you along your way.
- Dust the room
Cleaning the room means that there will be plenty of dusting and vacuuming. Keeping the dust and particles out of the air will help to create a healthier environment Be sure to dust the entire room for seasonal house cleaning. Start with the ceiling fans; and working your way down to the floors and floor molding. It is important to make sure that you clean everything that collects dust such as door trim, doorknobs, windows, window sills, blinds, photo frames, and furniture. It is safer to use vacuum extensions and poles rather than climbing on ladders to reach the higher areas.
- Cleaning the bedding
Take all the blankets, sheets, and pillowcases off the bed and run them through the laundry. One of the most important steps is to vacuum the mattresses and under the beds. Wash and vacuum the pillows, or buy new ones. Once you have completely cleaned and dusted the room, make the bed as the last step.
- Organize and clean toys
Gather up all the toys that are washable. Place them on the bath tub or in a tote that is filled with soapy water. Be sure to soak and scrub every item. Metal and plastic toys that can be damaged by water should be cleaned with a moist disinfecting wipe. Sort the toys by filing them into 3 boxes that are labeled “Garbage”, “Donate”, and “Keep.”
The fine art of cooperation
It is very important that you let your kids decide what they will donate, throw out, and keep. Otherwise, you may be in for a long and difficult summer. Put the boxes labeled “garbage” and “donation” out in the hallway. Leave the “keep” box in the kid’s room. Use plastic totes or storage bins to organize odd shaped toys such as action figures, building blocks, and stuffed animals. When you allow your children to make decisions regarding their toys, this helps them take ownership of the project, and to feel responsible for their rooms and their possessions.
