Spring cleaning is one of those activities that no one, or almost no one, looks forward to, but once you’re actually doing it, it’s not so bad. And when it’s finished, a living space is so satisfyingly clean, tidy, and organized. It’s also an undertaking that can be made more efficient, quickly accomplished, easier, and altogether more pleasant with proper preparation. 

The best way to accomplish that proper preparation is by establishing lists of everything that needs to be cleaned and everything you’ll need to clean it. Since each living space is unique, what all needs to be cleaned can’t fully be established in this piece, but the equipment necessary to clean most homes thoroughly and move heavy items about—from the best cleaning solutions to a convertible hand truck—can more easily be identified.

Clean with a Variety of Cloths

It can be easy to dismiss the actual physical cleaning medium collectively as “rags” and leave it at that. But diversifying the collection of cloths used for cleaning can improve the process considerably. Along with the traditional terrycloth rag, the cleaning of more delicate technology, antiques and the like benefits from the use of microfiber cloths. It’s also helpful to utilize other materials that help achieve a streak-free shine, which is especially useful when cleaning mirrors and windows. A selection of pads, scrubbers, and sponges of variable abrasiveness is likewise a good idea.

Clean as if You’re Moving

Another good rule of thumb for cleaning preparation is to make like you’re moving. Boxes are convenient for packing up things for storage and are also great places for anything you no longer need and want to sell or donate. The earlier-mentioned hand truck is a huge time saver, as is an appliance hand truck for larger items. To move or store larger furniture or appliances, find moving blankets to protect the items and the surfaces in the home, along with surface-protection pads.

Clean Like You’re at a Science Fair

For those who are concerned with environmentally friendly cleaners, vinegar and baking soda are good for more than making food-coloring-aided volcanoes for elementary school science fairs. Vinegar is a gentle acid that’s great for stain-removal without damaging whatever’s being cleaned. Baking soda is likewise an effective cleaning agent with enough abrasiveness to aid in scrubbing. It’s great for cleaning sinks and bathtubs. 

Clean with the Powders and Solutions

This isn’t a comprehensive list, but among the cleaning solutions you’ll need for spring cleaning include (but are certainly not limited to) the following:

· Window cleaner 

· All-purpose cleaner

· Bleach-based cleaner

· Bathroom cleaner

· Stainless steel cleaner for appliances

· Wood polish

· Silver/gold/jewelry polish

· Toilet bowl cleaner

· A grease-cutting cleanser

· Mop solution

Good luck and good cleaning!
