Cleaning is not always the best. When new seasons arrive, when focus shifts from inner to outer world, spring and summer often involve deep cleaning. Since the biggest obstacle for many of us is time and efficiency, we've gathered simple tips and tricks that make cleaning easier – from planning to execution.

SMART AND SIMPLE TIPS FOR EASY SPRING CLEANING

How to make spring cleaning more effective – simple tips and tricks for cleaning:

1. Define Your Target Look

Before starting the cleaning process, it's helpful to set a target look. What seems realistic for today's cleaning? Do you need to get rid of unnecessary items, refresh and give the space a fresh look, or just clean according to schedule? A more specific plan is always easier to follow, regardless of the project!

2. Break Tasks Into Chunks

In many cases, the main issue is feeling overwhelmed. It may seem obvious but make sure you distribute cleaning tasks. Whether your goal is to clean the whole house at once or focus on one room, strategic thinking matters. Clean in blocks – perhaps a block includes a room or shelf. It all depends on how much you're willing to take on.

3. Use a Timer

The Pomodoro method is probably already familiar to most of us. Popular for work and study, this technique emphasizes focused effort. Work for 25 minutes then rest for 5. Determine when to replace those 5-minute breaks with longer ones and repeat. This same method works wonderfully for cleaning.

4. Start by Decluttering

Removing unnecessary items, from small decor to furniture taking up unwanted space, makes wonders. Look at the room in question and start by removing items you don't use. This philosophy is common in Japandi style, which always promotes a minimalistic environment where only used items stand out.

5. Homemade Cleaning Products

Spring cleaning is often associated with expensive products, but it's not necessary. Instead of spending money on cleaning (often with a noticeable negative impact on the environment), there are simple ways to do effective eco-friendly cleaning yourself. In most cases, you'll only need ingredients already found in your kitchen pantry.

6. Clear the Floor Space

Seems basic, but easy to forget when cleaning. Here we also draw inspiration from Japandi style. The idea is simple – airy rooms with minimal items on the floor level. Check what decor you have on the floor. By removing unnecessary items, a room instantly becomes more spacious.
