Breeze through spring cleaning, with these simple tricks
Simple tricks for a refreshed space, just in time for spring!
TO START THINGS OFF…
A few things to keep in mind…
tackle the high traffic areas first
The entryway and kitchen tend to attract the most amount of wear and tear. A quick sweep of these areas will instantly elevate the overall aesthetic of the decor.
keep minimalism in mind
Limit the number of decor accents and accessories within a space. Less clutter not only simplifies the cleaning process, it also helps keep things organized and in place.
out with the old
Useless pieces, which lack functionality, promote clutter and take up space. Make way for items that will elevate your decor instead!
DO THE DIRTY WORK
entryway
Stow away outdoor gear in labeled boxes or baskets for a clutterless space free of bulky coats and piles of shoes.
windows
Out of windex? Try this homemade window cleaner instead.
walls
Use a magic eraser to instantly get rid of scuff marks and stains for a quick fix.
curtains
Instead of washing, drying, and ironing drapes, use a steamer to iron out the kinks, giving them a refreshed look. Finish the job with a little air freshener to get rid of unpleasant odors.
upholstery
use a vacuum to get rid of dust and finish the job with a lint roller for missed bits.
carpets
A blend of vinegar and baking soda can help get rid of pesky carpet stains, that don’t require the assistance of the pros.

bedroom
