In spring, even the most ardent lovers of homework feel the need for general cleaning. And this desire arises for a reason. For many centuries, our ancestors celebrated the New Year in the spring, and this holiday, as you know, it is customary to meet in purity, getting rid of rubbish and unnecessary things. Therefore, spring general cleaning of the apartment helps not only to bring the house in order, but also clears thoughts, favorably influencing our energy. Want to cleanse the house and thoughts passed easily and imperceptibly? Listen to the advice of "House of Dreams" on organizing spring cleaning in an apartment, house and territory.
General cleaning - we draw up an action plan for
Despite all the pluses of general cleaning, its approach causes a double feeling. On the one hand, a clean and fresh apartment becomes incredibly cozy, but on the other - the very idea that it will take an entire weekend to put things in order in the house seems terrible. However, with the right approach, general cleaning can easily turn into an exciting and entertaining process.
Like any other occupation, a general cleaning in the house requires a responsible approach. To clean the whole house, to wash winter clothes, wash windows and put things in order in cabinets, it will take more than one day, so do not try to cover everything at once, but rather break the cleaning process into several sub-items.
Experienced housewives and cleaning company employees advise to act according to the following plan:
1. Textile washing
Spring, bringing fresh wind and warm sun, is the best time for global washing. Try to wash at that time the heaviest things - curtains, curtains, bedspreads, blankets, pillows, blankets, etc. In addition, check to see if some textile accessories need to be cleaned.
2. Window cleaning
Window cleaning is an important part of the spring cleaning:
- first, after the winter weather the windows were probably soiled;
- second, washing windows is a kind of tradition before the onset of Easter.
To meet the spring fully armed, except the windows themselves, wash the windowsill, batteries and window drain.
3. Arranging orders in the cabinets
Perhaps this part of the general cleaning is the most time-consuming and time-consuming. Begin cleaning from the wardrobes.
- first of all you need to sort things out for winter and spring-summer. Wear winter clothes and put them in a secluded place, and sprinkle the spring neatly on the freed and washed shelves;
- that this process has not passed without a trace and in a week the cabinet has not turned into the apotheosis of chaos, use convenient organizers and trempels;
- also do the same with lockers and cabinets, where you store linens, accessories, cosmetics and other necessary things.
However, in order to put order in the cabinets did not turn into a process of shifting things from place to place, ruthlessly recycle what you do not really need.
4. Cleaning the kitchen
Take the time to do a separate general cleaning in the kitchen. Typically, the kitchen is the most littered room apartment, but this can easily be fixed by properly organizing the space.
First of all, pull all the contents from the cabinets and shelves and re-sort it for what you use daily;what you use from case to case;and what you did not use for a long time. Things from the third group do not hesitate to take them to the trash can. If among these things there is something very valuable for you, hide it in the most secluded place of the apartment. Things from the second group put in the most inaccessible places of kitchen cabinets, and the things from the first group arrange so that you can always get them without hindrance.
Also, do not forget about putting things in order in the refrigerator. And, of course, the general cleaning in the kitchen includes washing absolutely all surfaces.
5. Cleaning the bathrooms
In addition to standard cleaning in the bathroom and putting things in order on the shelves with make-up, create a nook in this roomstorage of household chemicals and accessories for cleaning.
6. Cleaning hard-to-reach places
The general cleaning from the usual guidance of orders differs in that it requires perfect cleanliness. That is, we need to clean absolutely all surfaces, including corners behind cabinets and sofas, chandeliers, plinths, etc. And only after that you can start a standard dry and wet cleaning.
7. Cleaning in the attic and in the closet
If you live in a private house where there is an attic and storage room, you are most likely using them for storage of house conservation, as well as a heap of unnecessary things. As in these rooms there is a high humidity, mold is often introduced here, which is why uncomfortable zones turn into really sinister places.
However, many designers use at first sight unsightly attics and closets for creating sports corners, stylish rest rooms, cloakrooms, workrooms and comfortable technical rooms. You, too, can increase the useful area of your house, if once and for all do away with the habit of collecting things that are a pity to throw.
8. Cleaning of the house area
This item also applies to those who live in their own homes. Spring cleaning is the beginning of garden work. To prepare the site for future crops, remove last year's leaves and debris. In addition, wash the porch, fence, paths, garden accessories and clean up tools.
General cleaning of the feng shui
Since the spring cleaning is also a way of filling the home with positive energy, listen to the advice of the ancient Chinese doctrine of feng shui:
- ,start cleaning in a bad mood;
- secondly, rub from the corners sweep not to the threshold, but to the center of the room. The fact is that the most negative energy that reigns in the house accumulates in the corners, and when we sweep away the debris and this energy to the threshold, we only strengthen its influence;
- third, the positive energy lives in houses free of debris and old things;
- and, fourthly, upon completion of the general cleaning, buy or plant a live flower and put it in the most prominent place. This will help the positive energy to solidify within the walls of your home.
And, of course, for the spring general cleaning in the apartment to please you as long as possible, keep the order daily.
