Spring Cleaning Hacks: Clear the Clutter in Small Sessions
Cleaning for six or eight hours straight can be physically exhausting and emotionally draining. Rather than tackling the whole project in one day, plan two or three smaller sessions over a week or so. Don’t tackle spring cleaning when you’re tired. You’ll do better work when you’re fresh, and the whole family can appreciate long-lasting results.
Try these systems to break up the work:
- Label three boxes: storage, trash, and “not sure”. Over your days of cleaning fill these boxes and start new ones whenever needed. You’ll be amazed how quickly they fill up! At the end of spring cleaning, either store the items you’re still thinking about or donate them to a thrift store or shelter.
- Attack only one room at a time. Some folks do best if they narrow their focus to one room or one area — like a closet — every day.
- Or, plan to fill a trash bag every day and toss it.
If you find yourself with many belongings you’d like to keep on hand, but maybe not in plain sight, consider using furniture that doubles as storage space.

Your Spring Cleaning Furniture Maintenance Routine
You already know the value of furniture polish on wood furniture, so we won’t go much deeper than mentioning it here. For spring cleaning you should go a few steps further to care for your furniture and:
- Thoroughly inspect and clean your mattresses. Some mattresses should be rotated or flipped once in a while, so check the manufacturer’s label.
- Spot clean your sofas, love seats, and lounges. Just put a few drops of mild dish detergent in a bowl of warm water and sponge gently at them.
- Take a close look at your lamps, lighting, and wiring. Frayed wiring can be a fire hazard!
Conclusion
If you discover that your mattresses, sofas, or lamps are worn out or stained, it’s time to replace them.
