Have you kicked off your spring cleaning yet? There’s no better time than spring to embrace the opportunity for a fresh start in your living space.

Ready to roll up your sleeves, open the windows, let in the fresh air and start cleaning? Keep reading to learn our favorite tips and products for spring cleaning.

Get motivated to clean (#cleantok, anyone?)

Finding the motivation to start cleaning can sometimes be the biggest hurdle, but with trends like #cleantok on social media, there’s no shortage of inspiration to be found. Whether you’re looking for cleaning hacks, checklists, organization tips or just some motivation to get started, social media is a hub for spring cleaning ideas and inspo.

Stock up on cleaning products

Having the right tools and products can make all the difference when it comes to tackling spring cleaning tasks (and it can also make cleaning more fun!). Stock up on essentials like microfiber cleaning cloths, Swedish dishcloths, biodegradable kitchen sponges, and bamboo dish brushes to make cleaning more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Give your space a deep clean

A deep clean is essential to spring cleaning. During this step, pay special attention to neglected areas that accumulate dirt and grime over time, like baseboards, window sills and door frames. Scrub down kitchen cabinets and appliances, including the oven and refrigerator. In the bathroom, tackle soap scum and grout buildup in showers and tubs. Remember to launder curtains, linens and throw blankets to remove dust and odors, and vacuum and spot clean upholstery to refresh sofas and chairs.

Create a sanctuary

After your deep clean, consider adding decor like plants, cozy blankets and soothing, spring-themed scents to create a calming atmosphere. Don’t forget your outdoor environment—prepare a garden or potted plants to take full advantage of the warmer months.

Digital detox

Just as our physical spaces can become cluttered, so too can our digital lives. Spring clean your digital devices by organizing files and deleting unused apps. Consider setting boundaries for screen time to prioritize real-life connections and experiences this spring so you can make the most of the season.

Hey lady's how about a great cleaning product that can also keep those nasty spiders away.!! If you mix some white vinegar with some lemon juice and of course so it doesn't smell so bad you can and any essential oil scent you like. Now you have a great disinfectant spray for your bathroom and your kitchen. In a spray bottle half white vinegar half water half a cup of lemon juice and a few drops of your favorite scent. Now let get rid of that other scary problem cuz I don't know about you all out there but I hate spiders I even have a phobia. So here you go in a spray bottle half water half white vinegar if you want few drops of your scent and those spiders go running. Spray this where you see them around door ways and windows they are not coming back. Just a few spray of this hits the spider they will die. Slowly but they die. I use my self here I live we have some big scary looking spiders. You do that twice a week your all set.

Love a clean house but deep cleaning can be a daunting task. Instead, break it up in manageable smaller tasks. Do a little bit of cleaning each day to help yourself get through it, make a list.
