Of course, it’s now Spring, so why not start Spring cleaning?
It’s not as hard as you may think.
Here’s some help to get you started:
- Pick one area at a time to start cleaning. If you think about the whole house, you’re likely to become overwhelmed. Find a problem area, such as a cupboard under the stairs, or those clothes hanging in your closet you haven’t worn for years, and tackle that.
- Paper towels are great, but they’re also bad for the environment. Instead, pick up some microfiber cloths. They’re inexpensive, and when they’re wet they’re great at picking up dirt and grime. Throw them in the washing machine, and they’re ready to go again. Try them for cleaning your windows, you’ll be amazed at how much dirt they can pick up.
- Take a tip from monks, who set a timer for 20 minutes and clean their surroundings. They do what they can, and when those 20 minutes are up they stop. Yes, even if the job isn’t finished. You can use this tip too while Spring cleaning. Set the timer, and get as much done as you can. Once that timer goes off, stop. It stops you from getting burned out and leaving half finished piles of junk around the house because you’re too tired to deal with them.
