If you’re living by yourself or your family in an apartment-type home, then you’d know how easily small spaces can gather dust and debris. Spring cleaning in Singapore is often toward the end of Spring, as the weather gets warmer and fabrics dry quicker. More often than not, spring cleaning may coincide with the summer season, as the sun’s heat dissipates humidity, making for easier dust removal as well.
Professional spring cleaning services can give you that deep clean your home desperately needs, but there are a few tricks you can do yourself to keep your home clutter-free.
Because cleaning an apartment or condo can be a daunting task, we’ve listed a few cleaning tips to get you started! Click To TweetTIPS FOR SPRING CLEANING ORGANIZING
Use All-Purpose Cleaners
If cleaning solutions for different uses taking up a lot of space in your cleaning closet, then you may need to look for all-purpose cleaners that do more than one job.
While using specialized cleaning solutions for different areas of your home is always a welcome practice, small homes do not have the space for them.
Minimize Your Keepsakes During Spring Cleaning
Keepsakes bring memories of your childhood, travels, and your family, but too many of them can make your house look like a clip from Hoarders.
Use a display case to prevent dust from collecting on your keepsakes. Keep your displayed trinkets to a minimum, and carefully store the rest in labeled boxes and containers for the next redecorating day.
Get Organized with Storage Compartments
Storage containers and boxes are terrific to organize, label, and store belongings.
Need a place to store those winter jackets, blankets, and bedding? Grab a clear storage container and label the box to find it easily next winter season. The same goes for any other items you plan to store.
Keep Segregated Trash Receptacles
Reduce, reuse, recycle – the three basic principles of waste management! Keeping segregated trash receptacles minimizes the amount of waste produced in your home.
Plenty of cities have recycling facilities you can drop off your recycling to every week, and the separated receptacles make waste management easier to process.
Divide The Areas For Cleaning
You may think your apartment is small, but even single-room studios are tough to clean in one go. Plan out your cleaning schedule by room or task, so you don’t get overwhelmed in your spring cleaning.
You may opt to divide the cleaning into separate days per area for larger apartments as well.
Maximize Your Walls
While you may feel like your apartment is cramped, and there is little ground space to place your items, you tend to forget a typically unused area of your home: the walls!
Utilize your walls by adding shelves and wall racks and placing your framed photos and knick-knacks on the wall instead of a countertop.
Work With The Experts
No amount of home cleaning will be as thorough as professional cleaning services, and availing one of these services for your spring cleaning does not only save you your efforts but time as well.
Professional cleaning services will have all that bulky cleaning equipment to clean your home from top to bottom.
When working with professional cleaning experts, you don’t just leave them to clean and organize your home. You work with them, and a reputable service should satisfy your cleaning needs and storage requirements from A to Z.
Get Multi-Purpose Furniture
Multi-purpose furniture serves more than just one purpose. For example, a bed frame may have drawers underneath for storage instead of a solid bed frame that serves only to support the bed.
Multi-purpose furniture can save you tons of space and are more practical to own than ones that only do one job.
Organize Your Workspace
As we transition to more efficient work from home setups, our home office can get cluttered just as quickly as the rest of the apartment. Clear out your workspace for better efficiency and more focus on productivity.
Invest in a Smart Vacuum for Spring Cleaning
Smart vacuums, also known as robot vacuum cleaners, are small, round discs that go around the house to clean. While they may not do well in large spaces, they can effectively remove loose dust and everyday dirt from small areas.
Utilize a smart vacuum cleaner to help you keep your floors dust-free daily. Some models even feature automatic cleaning and a charging pad.
