Springtime is here, and that means the natural world around us undergoes a revitalization. The weather warms, the flowers bloom, and wildlife wakes up once more! If your apartment here at Vela on Camelback could use a breath of fresh air too, spring cleaning is in order. Tidying up for the season clears away built-up clutter from the beginning of the year and reveals more space, both physical and mental. Here are some tips on how to make your spring cleaning session a breeze!
Try Out Cleaning Games for Kids
Living with little ones can pose a challenge when it comes to keeping a tidy household. If asking them to do their part sends them running for the hills, try engaging in cleaning games for kids. These add an element of fun to the mundane so that children learn to associate tidying with positivity. Plus, parents that join in get to reconnect with their own inner child!
DIY Cleaners for the Frugally-Minded
The overall feeling of spring is one where you leave behind the old to welcome the new. That can ring true with the cleaning products you use while you tidy too! Depending on store-bought cleaning products can really cut into your budget over time. Making DIY cleaners not only sparks up your creative side, but most homemade products cost pennies on the dollar to make! For example, this all-purpose spray cleaner requires just five ingredients and is perfect for wiping down kitchen and bathroom counters with a fresh citrus scent.
Even More Green Cleaning Hacks
The best part about making the switch to homemade cleaners is that, more often than not, it’s the eco-friendly choice. While brand name household products typically contain harsh chemicals, naturally-derived grime fighters get the job done with less of an environmental impact. Check out this list of green cleaning hacks and get inspired to clean your entire household with natural powerhouses like vinegar, borax, and baking soda!
Once you get your spring cleaning session underway, you’ll find that the atmosphere of your apartment can shift from busy to simply serene! How are you planning on tackling that mess? Let us know in the comments!
