Time for a little Spring Cleaning {Giveaway}

This year I almost decided to skip some of my spring cleaning. There is construction going on in our neighbourhood and we can barely see the sun for dust some days! Forget about what my windows look like! lol  But I did it, I got my step stool out and even started with the windows, because spring cleaning is a sign of good weather to come and a new season is upon us!


To make your transition into the new season a breeze, here are some quick tips with a must-have giveaway for the occasion.

 Spring Cleaning Tips

Tip #1: Call in for extra troops

Fighting off greasy stains, tough mildew, and stubborn odours will require an additional set of hands – so make this a family affair and grab as many troops as you can! When it comes down to it, you’re not the only one living under the roof.

 

Tip #2: Take your time

Remember that while adrenaline may be rushing to get your house looking spotless, it’s wise to spread out a large project like this between a few days. The season is here to stay so no need to panic! The last thing you want is an injury to welcome you into spring. 

 

Tip #3: Map it out

Organize, organize, organize! Work from the top down, inside to outside, and keep an agenda to prioritize. Allocating rooms to each person (or doing it one at a time by yourself) will also avoid unfinished tasks. Setting this up at the beginning will make the process so much quicker and more efficient.

 

Tip #4: Have fun

Turn on the radio, lay out a few snacks and don’t take it too seriously! Celebrate the season of greener grasses and sunny weathers (without the sweat and sunburns). 

 Your family’s living space deserves only the best – after all, where else can you unwind and call it your very own home sweet home?
