3 Tips on How to Prep for Spring Cleaning!

Spring is in the air, and that means it's time for the ultimate home refresh—spring cleaning! But before you dive in with your mop, broom, and that trusty bottle of all-purpose cleaner, let’s take a step back and prep your space for the big clean. Not only will it make the process smoother, but it’ll also help you tackle those pesky spots you might usually miss. Here are three tips to get your home spring-cleaning-ready:

1. Declutter Like a Pro (Or Like You’re on a Reality Show)


You’ve seen it on every organizing show: people who go through their stuff and throw things away like they’re auditioning for a minimalist’s dream. While you might not be ready to toss everything you own, decluttering is a must before you can start scrubbing and shining. Here’s the game plan: go room-by-room, pick up anything that’s just taking up space, and ask yourself, “Do I love this? Do I need it?” If the answer is no, into the donate bin it goes! Trust me, once you’ve got a clean slate, everything will look (and feel) better.


Pro Tip: Don’t forget to clear off those hidden spots—under the bed, on top of the fridge, behind the couch. You’d be surprised how much dust  and random objects love to accumulate in those out-of-sight areas!

2. Create a Playlist That’ll Make You Want to Clean (Seriously!)


Let’s face it: spring cleaning isn’t exactly the most thrilling task. But what if you could turn it into a mini dance party? A killer playlist is your secret weapon. Whether you’re into upbeat pop, throwback classics, or calming tunes, music will help you get in the zone and make the whole process feel like less of a chore. Make sure to pick something that has you moving—after all, a good groove will keep you motivated through that second round of dusting the baseboards!


Pro Tip: If you’re feeling ambitious, put together a playlist that’s as long as your cleaning session. When the music stops, so does your cleaning. Plus, you’ll have a fun soundtrack to remind you of the time you conquered your house like a rock star.

3. Stock Up on Cleaning Supplies (and Maybe a Few Snacks)


There’s nothing worse than getting in the mood to clean and then realizing you’re out of all-purpose cleaner or that your mop’s handle is falling apart. Before you start, make a checklist of all the supplies you’ll need to tackle every room in your house. Think: microfiber cloths, sponges, disinfectant wipes, gloves, and that fancy vacuum cleaner attachment you’ve never used but really want to try.
And hey, don’t forget a snack stash! Nothing says “I’m going to clean the whole house” like having a bowl of fresh fruit, a couple of granola bars, or your favorite cookies ready to go. Just remember—cleaning is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay fueled!


Pro Tip: Try eco-friendly cleaning supplies if you’re looking to make your spring cleaning a little greener. You’ll feel extra good about your fresh and tidy home!

By prepping like a pro, you’ll be able to glide through your spring cleaning with ease (and maybe even a little excitement!). Declutter, pump up the tunes, and make sure you’re stocked up—then, get ready to tackle that sparkling clean home you deserve. Happy spring cleaning!
