The beginning of a new season is the perfect time to get things in order. Reviewing finances, making wardrobe changes and especially do some cleaning in your house. Most people wait to do intense cleaning sessions during the springtime but there’s another time of the year that is a great opportunity to freshen things up.
Doing a deep cleaning in the wintertime has plenty of benefits for you to take advantage of. Check out this essential winter cleaning guide to help homeowners revamp their space.
Go Through Your Wardrobe
Winter cleaning is the perfect time to go through your wardrobe and get rid of any old, outdated clothing that you no longer need. You’ve probably already put away your warm-weather clothes but it wouldn’t hurt to look through those as well. Considering donating some items that are in fair to good condition to charity.
Scrub Windowsills
Windowsills often collect lots of dirt and grime throughout the year that we don’t even notice. Doing a good scrub on them at least once or twice a year can do a long way. You can make a quick solution with hot water and vinegar then wipe down the area with a microfiber cloth.
Clean out Cabinets
It’s not uncommon to forget about canned foods and old coffee mugs that get pushed to the back of your pantry. Take some time during your winter cleaning to go through the cabinets and check for any expired food and old dishes.
Try a Storage Room Trash Haul
It’s easy for us to accumulate tons of objects then store them away only to later forget that they exist. Create more space in your storage areas (garages, attics, extra rooms, etc.) by getting rid of old items and trash. For help with large amounts of garbage removal visit this site.
Renew Showerheads
Showerheads easily get gritty and clogging can affect your water pressure. A quick fix for renewing showerheads is to soak it in a plastic bag filled with white vinegar and water. You can hold the bag in place with a rubber band.
Shampoo Carpet & Rugs
Having foot traffic through your home can be brutal on any type of flooring. But if you have carpet then you might especially be faced with lots of hard to clean stains. Give your carpet and rugs some extra attention with a good shampoo session using warm water and dish detergent.
Shine Wood Floors
Wood floors are known for getting dull and dusty. A good hack to kill both of these birds with one stone is rubbing some lemon or canola oil on the end of a Swiffer and buffing the floors. Add instant shine to your winter cleaning!
