Chirping birds, flowers in bloom and warmer weather can only mean one thing… Spring has sprung! And while we understand that you can’t wait to get outside and enjoy those few extra hours of daylight, there are important tasks still to be done. So, like it or not it’s time to dust away those winter blues and refresh your home with a spring clean.

With bathrooms that need scrubbing and clutter to be organised, it’s almost impossible to know where to start! But panic not my friends, Bennetts Home Shine is hand to help with 5 top tips to help make your spring clean that little bit more manageable…

Tip 1- It’s got to go

Before you get down to the nitty gritty elements of your spring clean such as the dusting and hoovering, it’s important to de-clutter and get rid of all the items that are fruitlessly filling up every corner of your home. Come on now, do you really need all your heavy outerwear blocking up your hallway? Put away all your winter items and sort through all those clothes that haven’t been touched for months. We know it’s hard but no mind can think clearly in amongst a year’s worth of clutter!

Remember- Not everything has to go in the bin. Consider donating your unwanted clothes and items to charity.

Tip 2- Give it a scrub

Now that you can see the floor, it’s important to rid your home of all the dust and dirt that has accumulated over the winter months. Start with your shelves, counters and floors, making sure you get in any of those hard to reach areas with a vacuum or some polish. An extendable duster is your best friend here!

Once all of your furniture has been deep cleaned, it’s important to turn your attention to your windows. You’ll be amazed at the amount of debris and pollen that can build up along your window sills. So, in order to rid your home of any allergens, give them a scrub inside and out and let some of that natural spring light shine through.

Tip 3- The bathroom

Think about it, between all the toothpaste stains and used hair products, your bathroom is a place that’s in need of some serious TLC! So, what’s our advice I hear you scream?

  • Start with the tub. Remember that not all cleaning products have to be harmful. Salt and a grapefruit go a long way when it comes to removing those stubborn stains off the bath tub. Rubbing your tub with both will remove grime and leave it squeaky clean.
  • ‘Your throne my lady’. When cleaning your sink and toilet be sure to scrub beneath the rim, just don’t forget the rubber gloves!
  • Your reflection. The mirror is something we use daily, but often don’t notice just how dirty it gets. Use a microfiber cloth to give it the shine it deserves.
Tip 4- The Kitchen

This is most certainly an area you can’t avoid for any longer!

  • Your refrigerator. Empty and unplug your fridge for a thorough clean, throw out any food past its expiration date and make sure what’s left is organised.
  • Grease lightning. You got it, it’s time to fight the grease by tackling your microwave, oven and hob.
  • Shine those floors. Grab a mop and bucket and get to work.
