Spring Cleaning 101: Living Room
When it comes to the living room, remember that this is a place that you may spend a majority of your time as a family. You want it to be a relaxing and welcoming place, as it may be the place you end up every night, with your feet kicked up. Taking time to thoroughly spring clean your living room is something your family will hopefully appreciate!
Imagine the smell of a freshly cleaned living room, while you enjoy family time? What could be better?
So what does it take to spring clean the living room?
Here are 10 areas to remember:
1. Clean sofas. Are your cushion covers removable? If so, would it be easier to wash them (use the right setting).
2. Wash blankets and pillows
3. Wash windows, window sills, and vacuum/wash screens
4. Dust shelves and furniture
5. Vacuum off lampshades and wipe off light bulbs
6. Thoroughly dust electronics
7. Get rid of 10 items:
- Declutter electronics, including DVDs, CDs, games, gaming system games, etc.
- Purge of any books you know you will never read again. Recycle magazines.
- Go through blankets, pillows, etc.
8. Wash walls, baseboards, light plates, doors, doorknobs, registers.
9. Wipe down or vacuum floors (try to get into every corner)
10. If anything needs to be fixed, make a list and try to set a goal of when you would like to fix it by.
Let your living room be a place of rest, not of stress, because of the clutter!
