Welcome back to Port Landing at Fife’s blog. This is a space where we love to share with our readers all the tips and tricks to make apartment living fun and easy. April is here, which means spring! And spring means Spring Cleaning. It might hang like a cloud over your head but we’re here to help it feel like a breeze.
We like starting our spring cleaning with a little technique called the “walk through.” Simply walk through different rooms of your home, with a box or bag in hand for any garbage. As you walk through and collect trash, you’ll get a really good read on each room and what shape they’re in. At the same time, you’re picking up trash so it is, in turn, getting cleaner. Take note of burned out light bulbs, windows that need to be cleaned, beds to be made etc.
After doing the walk through start to tackle those tasks you noted previously. You’ve already visited every room and you know just what to expect so you can plan out your attack. As you revisit the rooms, do it task by task. Get glass cleaner and a rag and clean windows of all rooms that need it. If floors need to be swept, do every floor at once. This way you are getting tasks done in each room and you can tackle the whole house more easily. You will also avoid having to get cleaning products out time after time.
For recurring tasks like laundry and dishes, make a schedule that works with your lifestyle. For some, nights are a great time to tackle these chores. For others, weekends are the best time to work them in. Other tasks don’t need to be done as often but should be incorporated into your cleaning routine as well.
The walk through is a great way to kick off your spring cleaning because you get a glimpse at every room of your Port Landing at Fife home. Thanks for reading!
