It’s officially that time of the year! The sun is back out and the flowers are blooming. This means one thing, time for a Spring clean! Every year it is recommended that you give your home a reset and maybe even redecorate. In this blog, we will talk about the most effective ways to give your home a good deep clean and what furniture items will help you maximise your storage space. Here’s our step by step guide: 

  1. Declutter Your Home

Before you get to the cleaning part, you might want to free up some space. The best way to do this is to organise by three categories: keep, throw and donate. Another method that has been quite useful to us is the ‘One In, One Out’ rule. When you purchase or receive a new item, get rid or donate another item you do not need or use anymore. 

  1. Wardrobe Declutter & Organisation

Now let’s move on to your wardrobes… If you do not have a lot of wardrobe space, consider swapping out your winter clothes for your warm weather clothes. A good way to store winter clothes is using vacuum bags. This way you can store them without taking up too much space. Donate anything you don’t wear and use the ‘One In, One Out’ rule. 

  1. Deep Cleaning: Top to Bottom

Now that you got rid of all the unnecessary things in your home, you are ready to get to the cleaning. 

Start from the top of your home (if you live in a multi-story house) and work your way down. The same goes for furniture, start dusting and wiping the top of the furniture and working your way down all the way to the floors. Consider the different care and maintenance steps for different types of furniture. For example, wooden surfaces will need different steps and products compared to what you would use for glass surfaces. When it comes to each level of your home, ensure to get every corner and move furniture to clean underneath. Remember to go over the areas you normally overlook such as skirting, ceilings and hard to reach area.

Remember that this is not a one day job. This may take you several days so take it easy to ensure that you don’t feel overwhelmed.
