To help you get started, here are 20 spring cleaning tips that will have your home looking and feeling its best in no time.
Make a plan
Before diving into your spring cleaning tasks, list everything you want to accomplish. Organize your tasks by room or cleaning activity to keep things orderly and efficient.
Gather supplies
Ensure you have all necessary cleaning supplies on hand before you begin. This includes microfiber cloths, vacuum cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, and any specialty products for specific surfaces or materials.
Declutter
Start by decluttering each room, removing unnecessary items and creating more space. Donate, recycle, or dispose of items you no longer need.
Work from top to bottom
Begin cleaning at the highest point in each room, dusting ceiling fans, light fixtures, and crown moulding. Gradually work your way down to avoid redistributing dust and dirt.

Vacuum upholstered furniture and use a fabric refresher or upholstery cleaner to remove stains and odours.
