Spring Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Posted on - 17th December 2020

When the Christmas decorations get packed up and put away, a lot of people look to the New Year for a bit of spring cleaning. Using it as an opportunity to have a re-shuffle and unleash your inner interior designer will reward you with a great sense of achievement as well as a fresh, trendy home. Wondering how to get started? Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.

De-Clutter with Storage Options

Half of the battle with spring cleaning can be clutter. With Christmas bringing presents into the house, you may be tasked with finding a home for your new gadgets, toys and surprises in the New Year. It may be the perfect time to invest in storage. Organise DVDs and games into a TV cabinet and invest in a new bookcase for your reading. Struggling to find space for bedding and towels? Invest in a Divan bed and achieve more space without sacrificing any space.

Freshen Up Your Furniture

From cleaning your bedding to re-working your soft furnishings, freshening up your furniture can re-invigorate your room. If you’re looking for a new look, introducing new soft furnishings like cushions and throws can change the dynamic of your room. If you’re looking for a lower budget fix, just change the bedding, give the furniture a good clean and reset it ready for the New Year.

Wash Out The Washing Machine

The washing machine can be one of the easiest things to forget when cleaning. It washes itself right? Not necessarily. If damp clothes have been left for too long, your washing machine can start to smell and there are a few easy things that you can do to eliminate any odours. Clean out the detergent draw and filter. Being damp and humid, it could be the perfect breeding ground for germs. Also, it may seem simple but wash the drum itself out regularly. By adding these into your cleaning agenda, your laundry will come out as fresh as a daisy.

Equip Yourself Correctly

Spring Cleaning can be a laborious task...if you don’t have the right equipment. Make life easier for yourself and build an arsenal of cleaning supplies that are easily accessible. Knowing that you’ve got an easy solution for a cleaning problem can help to motivate you to find time for it. There are a wealth of great gadgets that can also help you in your tasks. What you get will depend on what you can afford but you certainly don’t have to break the bank to have an effective cleaning cupboard.
