Spring Cleaning Tips

By Suzanne Herrman


Now that spring is upon us, many homeowners focus on that time-honored tradition of spring cleaning. This is a perfect time to get your home deep cleaned and organized.

Cleaning the cupboards and the closets are done during this time, and these are the places that are not often cleaned. Things that are no longer wanted like some clothes, towels and sheets, as well as shoes and some kitchenware, should be thrown away, and a few boxes should come in handy for this. The amount of clutter in the house should be reduced, and this is the time. Reducing the amount of paper clutter should also be done, and this you should take time. Choose to get magazines and newspaper subscriptions online only or opt for paperless billing, and this can reduce paper clutter permanently.

It is even recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency that the home carpets of people are cleaned at least twice a year. Due to this recommendation, contacting your Baton Rouge carpet cleaner should be done and have an appointment scheduled. This is cleaning method that will remove toxins in large amounts, like the dust mites and fungi, because these will seriously affect your health. After your carpets are freshly cleaned, you can maintain the cleanliness with just vacuuming these once or maybe twice a week.

There are also items that need thorough cleaning, like your curtains and upholstery, and a Prairieville carpet cleaner can handle this task for you. The fabric on your furnishings and also the draperies are where dust and dirt can get trapped, and thorough cleaning is needed to remove these. For the tile and grout cleaning, Denham Springs carpet cleaning companies can also provide these services to you.

The exterior of your home will take the serious beatings, especially during winter. Think of removing debris in your rain gutters and this will make your house exterior much cleaner. It will also be a good idea if you have your windows cleaned, and hiring window washers is it. Calling the professionals can be wiser and have them clean the second floor windows, which are more dangerous to clean, although there are also windows you can clean by yourself. It can save you time and also have more time to clean other areas, if you hire someone to clean the windows and air ducts, or the carpets and tiles, even if this costs much.

Two other areas that usually could use some cleaning are the attic and the garage. Often we use these spaces as a place to store our junk. This spring, consider reorganizing these areas and making some decisions about what items you wish to keep and what items you can live without. The fewer items you have taking up space in closets, cupboards, attics and the garage, the more organized your home will be.
