With the temperatures rising and the last of the cold (hopefully) being gone, the time of year has come for windows to be open, fresh air to breeze through and all the heavy winter clutter to disappear. Here are a few simple steps to help you get going and officially say goodbye to winter.
- Cleaning is a project! But by blasting your favorite tunes and making an event out of it, it’ll go by much quicker.
- When cleaning out anything (closet, bedroom, bathroom, etc.) create a collection zone (this could be a basket, box, bin – anything!) This will be somewhere that you will throw all your old, used, and unwanted things. It will make removing everything easier and neater.
- Open the shades! Let in some natural sunlight and you’ll feel the room instantly change.
- To change up the energy of your room, switch your bed comforter to a quilt or add some new pillows to spruce it up. You’d be surprised how much this can affect your mood.
- Organizing your closet is a key step to spring cleaning. Get rid of your unwanted or unused clothes and do some good while you’re at it. There are always donation cites, like Purple Heart and H&M, that will take old clothes to recycle and reuse them.
- Hard core clean your bathroom! This means actually taking everything off the counters and using more than a Clorox wipe.
- Throw your rugs in the laundry and vacuum your entire floor, even getting the hard-to-reach spots under your bed.
- Relax in your new-and-improved environment!
