Planning Your Spring Cleaning

Planning Your Spring Cleaning |

Are you feeling the spring cleaning itch?

It's almost time... the days are getting longer and warmer, it's still light out when you leave work again... and your home is a wreck. 

It might seem tempting to throw your hands up in despair, but you can do this- we're here to help. 

To really tackle your spring cleaning right, you want to invest a little time into planning. 

First, assess. How much cleaning versus how much discarding do you need to do?

If you focus on getting rid of unwanted items- that's clutter you're eliminating outright. Getting rid of stuff first will reduce your cleaning time later.

Next, figure out where to start. If you need to use a space often- like the kitchen sink, start there. If you need help staying focused, set a timer on your phone. After 20 minutes of cleaning, take five to do something more entertaining. Once your five is up, spend another 20 cleaning. You'll be shocked by your progress. 

If you don't have the time or energy, you can give Grit a call and we can get it done for you. Alternately, for a really deep clean, you can call us after you tidy up and we'll come in and sanitize, mop, and otherwise hit all those nooks and crannies for you.
