Giving your home a clean for summer
h means that a lot of us will be giving our home a spring clean to dust off all the cobwebs and get our homes ready for the summer. It is a job that many people dread, but it does not have to be such a daunting task, and you can get a lot of excellent spring-cleaning tips if you search using the internet. Use the advice below on giving your house a clean for summer, without breaking into too much of a sweat.
Save Your Floors Till Last – giving your house a clean for summer
Whether you have wooden floors, tiles, or carpets, when it comes to doing a spring clean, you should leave cleaning your flooring till last. You can have the best hard floor cleaner machine that leaves your floors spotless, but when it comes to moving furniture, ornaments, and taking everything out of the cupboards, it will cause a lot of dust, no matter how clean your home is. You should ensure that you finish off all the other tasks before you look to clean your floors so that you do not have to do them more than once.
Cleaning Your Windows
Ideally, you will want to clean your windows on a day that is overcast as direct sunlight can leave streaks on your windows. Start with the side of your house that is not in the sun and work your way through your home. There are many different cleaning products that you can use for your windows but one of the best ones is white vinegar and a soft microfiber cloth.
Give The Kitchen A Clear Out
When you go into the kitchen in many people’s homes, there is always going to be things in the cupboards that are out of date and have gone off. You should go through all your cabinets, your fridge, and your freezer, and check the use by dates on all the products. Anything that is out of date, throw it away and get rid of it. You may be surprised at how much you find to throw away, and it could also help to change your shopping habits to prevent from throwing away food in the future.

Work On One Room At A Time
Rather than try to clean all of the floors at the same time, get rid of junk at the same time, or any other cleaning tasks. You should start with one room in your home and do all of the cleaning tasks in it before you move onto the next room in your home. Doing this will mean you can breakdown the task into manageable bits and will make it much easier going for you.

Do Not Forget The Garden
With the warmer weather on the way, you will also need to ensure that you give your garden a tidy up and make sure that it is a space that you will feel comfortable spending time in. Perhaps your garden shed needs some TLC, or your patio needs fixing or you need to contact a Junk removal Melbourne company to remove all the accumulated rubbish currently being stored in your garden. Whatever it may be, the last thing that you want is great weather, but you hate to sit outside because of the state of your garden. If it’s a bit overwhelming, you can try getting a professional in to give it a tidy up which will make it easier for you to maintain moving forward.
With the above tips, you should be able to give your home a good cleaning this summer. You might want to check out some eco-friendly cleaning products.

I had words with my teen when she was tidying and cleaning her bedroom about leaving the floors until last. It really is a fab piece of advice.

I have already given my kitchen a good clean through, like you said, there were quite a few out of date products in my cupboards.

Fab tips! I’m like a woman possessed at the minute! I’m on a serious cleaning mission throughout the house. It’s surprising just how dusty things get, especially when you have stoves and open fires! x #MMBC
