Many of us cleaning enthusiasts and DIY lovers see the spring season as the perfect time to carry out a thorough cleaning of their home. This spring cleaning guide is meant to help you get your home sparkling clean and inviting without feeling overwhelmed by the process.
Start with a plan
Organize before cleaning: Make a list of all the areas in the home that need special attention. Divide your cleaning task into smaller, manageable tasks and allocate time to each section.
Prioritize by area: Decide which rooms to take first. You can choose to start with the areas that require the most work or the rooms where the family stays the most.
Clean from top to bottom
Dust on surfaces: Remove dust from the ceiling down to the floor including shelves, picture frames, corners and moldings. This ensures that you catch all the dust that falls down as you move down through the room.

Wash windows and mirrors: Clear windows can transform any room. Use a homemade solution of water and vinegar for a streak-free shine.

Furniture and carpets: Use the vacuum cleaner's furniture nozzle to reach all the nooks and crannies of your furniture. Carpets should be thoroughly shaken or steamed to remove ingrown dirt and odors.
Discover our detergents for all types of textiles.
Focus on the kitchen and bathroom
Disinfection is key: The kitchen and bathroom are the home's germ hotspots. Use a good disinfectant cleaner or natural products such as vinegar or baking soda.
Area-specific tasks: Clean the inside of the fridge, waste bag holder, cupboards and drawers. In the bathroom, don't forget to clean the drains and joints between the tiles.
