Preparation

Before diving into the actual cleaning process, it is important to prepare yourself and your home for the task ahead. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Make a list: Walk around your home and note all the areas that need cleaning. This will help you create an action plan and keep track of what has been done.
• Gather supplies: Make sure you have all the necessary supplies such as cleaning supplies, microfiber cloths, sponges, and gloves. Having everything at hand will save you time and prevent interruptions during the cleaning process.
• Declutter: Before you start cleaning, declutter your home by getting rid of unnecessary items. This will not only make cleaning easier, but also create a more organized and spacious environment.
• Involve the whole family: Spring cleaning doesn't have to be a one-man job. Get your family members involved and assign tasks to each person. This will not only speed up the process, but also create a sense of teamwork and achievement.

Living room

Start with the living room, as it is often the most used room in a home and can benefit from a deep clean. Here are some steps you can follow:

• Dust from top to bottom: Start by wiping dust with a cloth or a duster on shelves, light fixtures and other high surfaces. Work your way down to tables, lamps and windowsills.
• Clean the windows: Mix warm water with a Simple Goods Universal cleaner in a spray bottle and use it to clean the windows. Use a squeegee or microfiber cloth to wipe them for streak-free results.
• Vacuum and mop: Finally, vacuum all carpets and pay extra attention to corners and edges. Then wipe the floors with a mixture of warm water and Universal cleaner .
