In just a few weeks, snow will start to melt to give way to spring. To ensure that your home is as prepared as you are for some warm weather, you need to make the necessary preparations.

However, spring cleaning can be one of the most tedious tasks. To ensure that you’ll be able to spring-clean your home in the shortest time possible, you need to know these hacks.

Make your home more welcoming.

Doormats should be cleaned first to get them out of the way. Besides, they’re the first thing your guests will see upon entering your home. So, swat them and clean them thoroughly.

Get rid of dusts for good.

Carpets and upholstery are breeding grounds of bacteria and are the perfect way to build up dust. Have them cleaned by a professional to save you time. If you like to do things on your own, open all windows to dry them faster.

Add some finishing touches to the floor.

Extend the life of your kitchen floors by applying a sealer following the directions written on the label. To keep things sweet and a breeze, use a wash and wax floor cleaning combination.

Move on to other stuff.

Although dirt can fall on the floor, a few swipes of the walls will tell you that you need to reconsider giving your vertical surfaces some thought. To give your walls a bath, use a dishwashing detergent on sponge mop to make it easier to reach higher spots.

Ceilings, like the walls, can accumulate dust and dirt, too. So, give them a quick swipe of the sponge mop as well.

Finish off with vacuum.

Instead of dragging furniture to reach every nook and cranny, move tables, chairs and consoles a little bit to the side to save time and energy.

Follow these hacks so you don’t have to spend an entire day spring-cleaning your home.
