10 guaranteed tips for (not only) spring cleaning

Spring will arrive in a few weeks and it will be time for big cleaning and putting away seasonal things. We bring you 10 guaranteed tips that are guaranteed to help you.

A fixed order is important

Set clear goals and stick to them. It is important to divide the concept of "spring cleaning" into sub-tasks. These tasks should be concentrated in one place in the household at a time. First, start with the bedroom, then the living room, the kitchen, and finish the carousel with the bathroom and toilet. Jumping from one job in one room to another really stretches the overall cleaning time.

You won't need winter jackets in spring

If you are convinced that winter coats and jackets no longer need to be taken out, make room in your wardrobe for spring things. Have winter clothes cleaned before storage and wrap them well and protect them from dust and moths. Vacuum bags also work well for large items of clothing. Plus, you'll have everything together.

Replace skis and sleds with bikes

Once the last of the snow falls and the temperatures start to rise, it will be time to clean and tidy up your skis and sleds. Bicycle wheels can take their place, for example.

A draft in the bedroom

Spring must also enter the bedroom, so replace the warm winter duvets, pillows and bedspreads with their lighter versions. Wash, ventilate and dry the bedding thoroughly. Store in the same way as winter clothes, i.e. so that they do not get dusty.

Home is not an antique shop

If your partner, like most men, has a tendency to accumulate unnecessary things with the hope that they will be fixed or useful one day, push the saw. They will never fix them and they will never fit. Just like it has been for the last 10 years.

Tires do not belong in the cabinet

Maybe you too have car tires rolling around in the basement or even in a closet all year. They take up a lot of space and you are sure that the winter ones will be replaced by summer ones. Use the option of storing tires in a tire repair shop or put them in an external warehouse.

Get the whole family involved

Spring cleaning is not just a woman's job. When the whole family gets involved, there's plenty of time to relax together. At least give the children their room, but don't specify the assignments in any way. Just tell them the goal – leave it to their creativity to get there. Do the same for your partner.

Homemade cleaning products

Trust the advice of our grandmothers. Lemon can deal with stubborn dirt, has antibacterial effects and also smells real (not like artificial scents from detergents). Vinegar is excellent for scale and rust, so it can be used in the bathroom or kitchen. Instead of cleaning sand, try ordinary table salt. You will see that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Cleaning as exercise

Do you dread cleaning like hell? Think of it as exercise or a new kind of sport that will improve your physical condition. After all, you burn over 1000 Kj during one hour of luxuries, washing windows takes 800 Kj, washing the floor over 500 Kj, and there are many more of these activities.

Excess and seasonal things gone

Don't have large wardrobes, storage boxes or the option of a basement? Or, on the contrary, you have and you can't fit anything in there anymore? Take advantage of the offer of external storage spaces.
