Spring cleaning: what organization?

Sorting: essential step before starting the big seasonal household

Before you get into this big cleaning, make room clear! Sort, throw and give or sell the things you no longer have any use. Get rid of the superfluous: clothes at the bottom of your wardrobe that you have not worn, the decorative objects that you no longer like, the souvenir trinkets that take the dust at the bottom of your cupboards, the books that You will never read again, toys more suited to the age of your children …

You will see more clearly during the household, and thanks to the donations, you will make people happy!

Common tasks in all rooms in the house

Spring cleaning is to clean the places sometimes (often) forgotten during weekly cleaning. Whatever the room, you will have to attack the curtains, carpets, cushions and plaids. Shake them then wash them. Disinfect the door handles and switches with a microfiber and white vinegar. Dust the lights, radiators, plinths and the angles of the ceilings, where the cobwebs constantly lodge. Use a vapor cleaner if the ceilings, floors or walls are dirty. Also clean the windows and window frames. Then, ventilate the parts.

It is also an opportunity to check the batteries of smoke detectors or to repair damaged objects.

Spring cleaning in the living room

In the living room, suck your sofa, then rub the spots using a cloth soaked in a mixture of hot water and baking soda, or do dry cleaning. If your sofa is removable, pass the cover to the washing machine. Do the same with your poufs and armchairs. Then disinfect the remote controls and game controllers.

For shelves, buffets, or consoles, do not just dust them. Clean your wooden furniture in depth with a natural solution. The cork cap is effective against stains and halos! Then give them back the radiance with an adapted product.

Finally, finish with a complete dissemination of the chimney or stove.

Spring cleaning in the kitchen

Take advantage of a spring to clean up your refrigerator and freezer. Empty them completely and disinfect them using a mixture of water, white vinegar and lemon juice. Then attack inside the oven, at the hood, on the worktop and cooking plates or stove: often very fatty spaces, and where again white vinegar makes miracles. Do not forget the microwave and other small appliances (coffee maker, kettle, toaster), which are generally discreet during the weekly cleaning.

Also think of the dishwasher with an citric acid cleaner and white vinegar to pour into the tank before launching the machine.

Complete the cleaning of the kitchen with the cleaning of the garbage cans, the sink as well as the outside and the inside of your cupboards and drawers.

Maintenance of the bathroom during sunny days

At first glance, we might think that the bathroom is clean. The sink, the shower, the bathtub and the toilet are regularly cleaned and disinfected. However, the evacuation conduits are not always clean. So, make way for the maintenance of pipes with a natural cleaner combined with boiling water to dissolve the smallest residues. Do not attend the cleaning of the bruises, tiling joints and fittings (with the fatal weapon against limestone: white vinegar) using a cloth.

Finally, check the expiration dates for your medication and report them if necessary for the pharmacy.

The big cleaning in the room after winter

Now head for the room to tackle bedding. To eliminate impurities and mites, suck the fabric of the box spring and mattress. Wash your bed linen, heavers, sheets, pillowcases and machine duvets or, wear them with a pressing. Take the opportunity to turn the mattress (summer face).

Then, in your dresser, replace the winter clothes with those of summer.

In a child’s room, wash the stuffed animals and disinfect the toys by plunging them into a bowl filled with hot water, baking soda and white vinegar.

Housekeeping from top to bottom in other rooms in the house

Another last effort to be made before finding a perfectly clean house for spring!

Do you have a office area in your home? So your keyboard and mouse are certainly covered with bacteria … Clean them with a cloth with a product specially designed so as not to damage the electronic components.

In the laundry room, make way for the winding of washing machine and dryer by starting an empty cycle with your natural essentials. Think of drums, joints and filters!

Finally, put order in your garage and cellar.

And now, your goal is achieved. Your house is healthy and tidy: a real happiness!
