Top 5 Spring Cleaning Tips!

This is a method that we learned recently and are so excited to share here. In the past, we just cleaned based on our memory. Sometimes, we would pull out a hat just before we walked out the door and saw the unorganized bin in the coat rack. We would make a mental note that we would deal with it in the weekend or when we have time (or during spring cleaning ;)). During the spring cleaning, we forgot that there are other areas to work on. This is a helpful tip for spring cleaning as it's recommended that we clean everything top to bottom. From our example in the kitchen above, start with the kitchen surfaces first before you address the drawers, top to bottom. If you clean the scrums on the top drawers, they might fall to the lower drawers, and that is where you clean next. 

We are organizing them to three categories at the moment, To Do, File and Recycle. We put bills that need to be paid and letters that need to be resent/addressed in To Do. Once they're done, they either are ready to go into File or Recycle if you don't need them anymore. 

When organizing our living room, we also like a system that our young ones can easily help and contribute. One of them is assigning a drawer for their toys separate from their books. Or a woven basket for all the blankets. This will help everyone to know where things need to go and we are not the only ones who are in charge of organizing and making sure our home is clean and tidy all the time.

 

We love bringing nature and texture into our living areas. Adding greeneries and florals are part of making our home feels like spring and summer are in our homes. Some greeneries that are easy to maintain and care for are pothos and snake plants. 

Adding a new rug into our living room or bedroom is part of making our home feels a lot cozier.
