Declutter and Organise Your Wardrobe
Step 1: Wash Winter Clothes
Winter clothes tend to gather dust, so start your spring clean by washing them. Sort them by colour and wash them before packing them away.
Step 2: Clean the Wardrobe
Use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to remove dust from shelves and the bottom of your wardrobe. Wipe down surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth.
Step 3: Sort Your Clothes
Divide your clothes into four categories: keep for the season, discard, donate, and store. This helps declutter your space and benefits others in need.
Step 4: Store Winter Clothes
Pack away winter clothes in vacuum-sealed bags to protect them from pests and moisture.
Step 5: Arrange Summer Clothes
Iron and neatly organise your summer clothes on shelves and hangers for easy access.
Spring Clean Your Curtains
Curtains are often overlooked during a spring clean but can harbour dust and allergens. Aim to clean them twice a year.
Cleaning Tips:
Check the care label before washing. Delicate fabrics may require professional cleaning.
Vacuum heavy curtains using the upholstery attachment.
Spot clean stains with a mix of mild detergent and warm water.
Wash sheer curtains on a delicate cycle with cold water and air dry to prevent shrinkage.
Freshen Up Your Mattress
Mattresses collect dust, allergens, and odours, so deep cleaning is essential during a spring clean.
Step 1: Vacuum the Mattress
Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum to remove dust and debris. Change your linens regularly to maintain cleanliness.
Step 2: Air Out the Mattress
If possible, take your mattress outside to air it out. Fresh air helps remove odours and moisture.
Step 3: Flip or Rotate the Mattress
Extend the life of your mattress by flipping or rotating it if it's designed to be used on both sides.
Wash or Replace Your Pillows
Pillows collect allergens, mould, and dust, making regular cleaning crucial.
Tips for Pillows:
Wash them 3–4 times a year using a gentle detergent.
Replace pillows every two years. A simple test: if you fold a pillow in half and it doesn’t spring back, it’s time to replace it.
Memory foam and silk pillows require specialised cleaning, while polyester and feather pillows can be washed together.
Dust Your Entire Bedroom
Dust is a common allergen that can affect air quality, making it essential to remove it during a spring clean.
Step 1: Start from the Top
Clean ceiling fans, light fixtures, and high corners first. Work your way down for maximum efficiency.
Step 2: Wipe Down Walls and Baseboards
Use a flathead mop with a microfibre cloth to clean walls and baseboards without straining.
Step 3: Clean Small Items
Use a soft brush, like an old makeup or paintbrush, for intricate objects. Lightly spray the brush with water to trap dust effectively.
Clean Carpets and Mop the Floors
Carpets can trap dirt and odours, so vacuum them thoroughly and use a carpet deodorising powder for freshness. Spot-clean any stains with suitable cleaning products. Finish your spring clean by mopping the floors with the appropriate cleaner for your flooring type.
Takeaways
A spring clean is the perfect opportunity to refresh your bedroom, but deep cleaning can be done any time of year.
Follow a clear plan and take it step by step for the best results.
If you don’t have time or prefer professional results, consider hiring experts.
