Our Favourite Tasks to Tackle Before Spring Cleaning
Spring is almost here, and while the temptation is to jump straight into scrubbing baseboards and washing windows, a little prep work goes a long way. To make your actual spring clean faster, easier, and much more effective, you need a pre-cleaning plan.
Here are our favourite tasks to tackle before the deep spring cleaning officially begins.
1. Declutter and Set Up Smart Storage
Decluttering is the first step to a more functional home. Before you start cleaning, it’s important to remove the excess and set up tailored solutions that suit your home, lifestyle, and every energy level. Simplify your storage solutions, daily cleaning systems, and designated drop-zone. By reducing what you have to clean come Spring, you’ll find yourself enjoy the clean even more.
2. Deep Clean Linens, Curtains, and Soft Furnishings
Instead of trying to wash everything all at once during your main clean, start tackling heavy textiles beforehand. Whether your home washing machine can handle it, or you need a professional dry cleaners, find time to refresh mattress toppers, heavy blankets, duvets, curtains, and rugs. Getting these bulkier items freshly washed makes the seasonal linen swap-over effortless and ensures dust and allergens are completely removed before the warmer weather hits.
3. Take a Whole-Home Inventory
Go room by room and take stock of what you actually have. This step is a game-changer for saving money and reducing waste. Check expiration dates and clear out expired items across several categories: pantry items and spices; cleaning supplies; beauty and skincare products; and medical supplies. Anything stale, expired, out-of-date, or unusable should be tossed and replaced if a necessity.
4. Create Your Cleaning Battle Plan
Jumping randomly from room to room is exhausting. Sit down with a notepad and map out your strategy for when spring comes. Is there anything you could tackle quickly to make it easier? A golden rule we have at Allsorts Sorted is always work from top to bottom.
