How a Pro Cleaner Gets Ready for Spring
There’s a reason spring cleaning is a thing. This new season—complete with warmer weather and more sunshine—naturally inspires the urge to open windows, shake off the dust, and give your home a deep clean. These are the top three cleaning tasks to prioritize for the spring season.
Clean Out the Bathroom Cabinets
You’ve probably done a great job of tackling the floors, sinks, mirrors, and toilets all winter, but when’s the last time you gave your cabinets a deep clean? “Before spring, I toss expired sunscreen, dried-out products, and anything I didn’t touch all winter,” says Robin Murphy, president of Maid Brigade in Westchester, New York.
Remove everything and wipe down the cabinets to remove dust and grime. Then, toss out expired items and replace them with products you’ll use in the upcoming warm-weather months. “This makes it easier to grab what I actually use this time of year and gives my mornings a calmer, more seasonal flow,” Murphy says.
