Clean room by room

Cleaning room by room is the perfect way to go about the annual spring clean. Working by room is by far the most effective way to clean your home, as you can easily keep track of areas which will need the most attention. Simply make a list of the rooms you need to approach, and work down the list after completing each space. When cleaning each room, it is important to work to a schedule to ensure that all areas are evenly covered. Here are 5 simple 10-minute steps you can follow for each room.

  1. Dust - The first step to cleaning your room is to thoroughly dust all open surfaces. 

  2. Clean doors and windows - Use a microfiber cloth with water to remove any fingerprints and germs.

  3. Hoover - Hoover the floor of any dirt and dust.

  4. Upholstery - Clean upholstery by hoovering or washing anything that is dirty. You can also buy fabric spray to get your fabrics smelling fresh and amazing.

  5. Polish - Break out some furniture polish to give everything a beautiful shine.

Check each room off the list once cleaned, and work through accordingly. In no time you’ll have a house which is gleaming!


Clear the clutter

It's near impossible to deep clean a room that is filled with heavy clutter. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the natural spring urge to clear the clutter and create more space for new things. The key to a successful declutter is to sort items into categories, whether that be through away, store or keep. You may also decide to give your belongings to good causes or charity shops. If you are planning on storing your items in a personal self storage facility, try using our room size estimator to calculate the space you’ll need, or get a quote from us today!
