Helpful Spring Cleaning Tips

Helpful Spring Cleaning Tips 1 of 3 = Stay tuned for Tips #2 & #3

Spring has sprung!  The days are longer, and now is the time to do something about the dust, carpet stains and stale air built up after winter.  Throw open your windows and let the fresh air in.  Time to revitalize your home with a good spring cleaning.

Consider renting a self storage unit from Ridgefield Mini Storage to get things out of your way during your spring cleaning.  Who knows, cleaning and organizing can easily turn into redecorating.  Self Storage facilities are a great place to store items for long-term that do not fit into your new home design, but you aren’t quite ready to toss.

HELPFUL SPRING CLEANING TIPS

1. Write down what you have already done.  Clean from the top down, wash and dust fans, corners and light fixtures first.  End with wiping and washing walls, counters, furniture, windows and floors.
2. Clean the inside from left to right and the outside from the top down.  This makes it easier to tell which side has streaks.
3. Keep your family and belongings safe! Spring cleaning is a good time to test the smoke detectors and change batteries.  Clean them while you’re at it.
4. Clear off counters and shelves. Wash them.  Dust your books and wash your belongings.  File your stacks of papers and bills.  Now is a good time to file the important documents in your self storage unit.  Recycle your old magazines, envelopes and junk mail.  Make sure to shred old bills or other papers that have your personal information on it.
5. Appliances get dirty! Pull out your appliances, wash the sides and floors.  Clean all the hidden spills and wipe down the walls.
