A Spring Cleaning Giveaway for Your Home Sweet Home

Annual spring cleaning is upon us again after a long Canadian winter. To make your transition into the new season a breeze, here are some quick tips with a must-have giveaway – to help celebrate the occasion.

Tip #1: Call in for extra troops

Fighting off greasy stains, tough mildew, and stubborn odours will require an additional set of hands – so make this a family affair and grab as many troops as you can! When it comes down to it, you’re not the only one living under the roof.

Tip #2: Take your time

Remember that while adrenaline may be rushing to get your house looking spotless, it’s wise to spread out a large project like this between a few days. The season is here to stay so no need to panic! The last thing you want is an injury to welcome you into spring.

Tip #3: Map it out

Organize, organize, organize! Work from the top down, inside to outside, and keep an agenda to prioritize. Allocating rooms to each person (or doing it one at a time by yourself) will also avoid unfinished tasks. Setting this up at the beginning will make the process so much quicker and more efficient.

Tip #4: Have fun

Turn on the radio, lay out a few snacks and don’t take it too seriously! Celebrate the season of greener grasses and sunny weathers (without the sweat and sunburns).

 

Your family’s living space deserves only the best – after all, where else can you unwind and call it your very own home sweet home?

    Break down the cleaning into small jobs so you don’t get overwhelmed. Get out a garbage bag, a box for things you are not sure what to do with and another for donations. After a week check the box of not sure with items and deal with them. Put them away, donate them or throw them out. Get rid of clutter!

    My best tip for spring cleaning (or cleaning anytime) is to get rid of clutter. If you have too much stuff you can’t get at the floors etc. to clean. I find that I just keep moving stuff from one place to another; it’s better to just get rid of things I don’t need.

    My best spring cleaning tip is to start on one side of the house and clean entire rooms at a time, working your way from one side of the house to the other. And try to get it all done in a couple days!

    Work top to bottom, so as the dirt falls down at least you’re not repeating work!

    Do one room at a time. That way you won’t overwhelm yourself

    don’t do what I do and start 5 things without finishing one first. too overwhelming.

    My tip is to not get stressed out.Just enjoy doing a job or two a day and listen to your favorite music.

    My best spring cleaning tip is to stay on it all year. purge and tidy regularly, donate and sell or giveaway what you do not use, need or actually like.

    my best tip is just to ignore it. eventually when you’re mom comes over to visit she’ll be so disgusted by it all that she’ll clean it for you. win-win!

    clean out the kids closets-they probably will have outgrown a lot of their clothes from last year.

    I think one should take one room at a time and spend no more than two hours a day on it. This will give you time to do other things as well. Take rests about every half hour or so.

    Use three boxes as you clean. One for things to donate, one for items that need to go to another room and a third for items to be thrown away.

    Don’t move on from one area until you are completely finished with it.

    Make a list and keep it on the fridge. I stock up on cleaning supplies too so I have everything handy and there are no excuses:)

    Focus on one small project at a time – a closet, a cupboard, etc

    I don’t really have any cleaning tips, I just turn on the tunes really loud and put a bottle of white in the fridge to chill for when I’m done and get it done.
