Spring has sprung in Cincinnati, and there’s no better time to refresh your Drexel at Oakley apartment. A thorough spring cleaning can brighten up your home and get you ready for the warmer months ahead. Here are some practical, result-oriented spring cleaning tips to make your home shine.
1. Declutter First
Begin with decluttering. Tackle one room at a time and ask yourself if each item is necessary. Consider donating gently used items to local charities. The less clutter, the easier it is to clean!
2. Deep Clean Appliances
Don’t forget your appliances. Run an empty cycle with a cup of vinegar in your dishwasher to eliminate odors. For your oven, sprinkle baking soda on any stubborn messes and spray with vinegar. Let it sit overnight and wipe clean.
3. Refresh Carpets and Upholstery
Our carpets and upholstery can accumulate a lot of dust and dirt over the winter. Consider renting a carpet cleaner or hiring professional services.
4. Clean Windows and Blinds
Let the sunshine in by giving your windows a good clean. Use a glass cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water. Don’t forget the blinds – a quick wipe-down or a vacuum with a brush attachment can remove dust.
5. Don’t Ignore Small Spaces
Areas like baseboards, light switches, and door handles often get overlooked. Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaner to wipe these areas down. Small touches like these can make a big difference.
6. Organize Your Closets
Reevaluate your wardrobe with the change of seasons. Pack away winter clothes and bring out spring attire. This is also a great time to donate items you no longer wear.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little planning and the right approach, you can enjoy a refreshed and spotless home at Drexel at Oakley. Happy cleaning!
