Soon, the leaves will be returning, flowers will bloom and the dreaded winter will finally come to an end. It is also the time of year most people bust out the big guns and get some serious cleaning done, as nothing is more refreshing than having a spotless home as the seasons change. If this task seems a bit daunting, than worry not because Gleem has you covered!In this blog pose we⫪ll break down spring cleaning into manageable sections.Out with the Old! First thing⫪s first, it⫪s time to get rid of those knick-knacks you no longer have use for. It is difficult parting with belongings, as you never know when you might need it, but they are just taking up valuable storage space.Prioritise your things--what is it you need? You might have to be especially ruthless if there is still a lot. If you feel like doing good with your belongings, charity shops are always looking for donations. Check the websites of your local stores, as they might offer free pick-ups. Start SmallBefore dealing with the more tiresome chores, start with the easier tasks, as then you won;t wear yourself out before you⫪ve barely begun. Take care of clearing off surfaces, such as taking care of the dishes, tidying off your desk and folding away laundry. That way, you⫪ll notice immediate results of your work and you⫪ll still be energised enough for the bigger tasks. Once the surfaces are cleared off, it⫪s now time to clean them! Gleem covered dusting in detail already, but the rule of thumb is to start with the higher surfaces then work your way down, and steer clear of dusters! They are proven to be less effective than the tried and tested damp cloth. Down to the Nitty-GrittyNo doubt there are several household appliances that go forgotten over the year. Now is the time to clean these spots! Kitchen cabinets can build up dust, or even dripped-down grease from the surfaces. There are products especially designed to break down tough build-up and leave wood moisturised and treated. Make sure to tackle both sides of the windows. The outside is more imperative as this is where dirt and smudges is more likely to reside. Hot soapy water and a little elbow grease who be more than sufficient to leave your windows crystal clear. Professional domestic cleaners suggest cleaning windows on cloudy days to avoid the sun drying out the products you⫪re using before you⫪re done cleaning the windows, as that will result in leaving smudges. Don⫪t forget your refrigerator! Now is the perfect time to wipe down the outside and in. Liquids from food stuff can drip down onto shelves and into the drawers, so make sure to give the interior a good clean to keep it hygienic and safe to use.
