5 EASY SPRING CLEANING TIPS TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE FAST  

DIVIDE AND CONQUER

Make a list of all the spring cleaning chores that need to be done and divvy up the chores among your family members. From toddlers to teens get everyone involved so that the spring cleaning doesn't overwhelm you and gets done faster. Remember it might take you a little extra time teaching your young ones, but have patience and remember that in years to come the tasks will get easier for them and require less of your time too.


YOU SLOP IT YOU MOP IT

Adopt the habit of cleaning up your mess as you make it. Model this behavior to your children so they too begin cleaning up as they make messes. For example, when you bake cookies put the individual ingredients away after you add them to the bowl so when you get to the baking part you are over halfway done cleaning up!

tip - I highly recommend these antibacterial / antimicrobial dish cloths for your kitchen clean up!


YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE

Before heading to bed send your children on a "treasure hunt" finding toys and other items that should be put away prior to going to bed. Make it fun and cheer on the treasure hunters so they stay motivated to get the job done quickly. A little race and fun before a bedtime story can help the transition to bedtime go more smoothly.

tip - give the treasure hunters a fun pirate eye patch or decorate a basket to look like a treasure chest to keep clean up time fun!


DON'T MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL

Spending some time identifying the areas of your home that seem to be the high traffic areas will help you know where to spend the majority of your time cleaning. Identify your key problem areas and then make a plan to stay on top of keeping it picked up and clean.

tip - draw a floor plan for each level of your house and keep it on a clip board in a handy place so you can make changes as you go. 


OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND

If cleaning supplies are not handy it can be tempting to skip cleaning altogether. Gather a few plastic baskets or buckets and fill them with handy cleaning supplies like toilet bowl cleaner and brush, Clorox wipes, sponge, glass cleaner, Pine Sol and rubber gloves. It is a good idea to have one full cleaning tote per floor of your home so you can stay on top of keeping each floor clean.

tip - label each bucket or basket so you know which location the bucket of cleaning supplies belongs when you are done. 

Spring cleaning doesn't have to be a drag if you implement these simple and useful tips! Your house will be spring ready in no time so you and your family can get outside and enjoy the nice weather.
