Spring Cleaning Tips for a Fresh Season

Step outside and take a breath of fresh, clean air—spring has arrived! What better way to celebrate the season of new beginnings than by freshening up your Schaeffer Family home? From your window sills to your pillows, small changes can make a big difference in the overall feel of your living space.

When it comes to welcoming a new season, all of us at Schaeffer Family Homes feel the festive spirit. This season, make a few simple updates to your beautiful home and start the best time of year right.

Spruce Up Your Welcome

Your entryway is the first thing visitors see, so give it a refresh. Start by hosing down your outdoor welcome mat and letting it air-dry. For extra cleanliness, add a mat inside your door as well.

Refresh Your Refrigerator

Did you know your favorite bubbly beverage can work wonders on your fridge? After clearing out old or unwanted food, mix salt and soda water for a powerful cleaning agent. The bubbles and abrasive salt work together to scrub away grime, leaving your refrigerator spotless.

Dust Away Winter

Even the simplest tasks can have a big impact. Dusting surfaces like coffee tables, kitchen counters, and window sills instantly revitalizes your home. Use a cloth or duster to tackle tricky spots, such as around coffee makers, picture frames, and vases, for a clean and polished look.

A Trash Can Transformation

It’s easy to overlook, but your trash can deserves a little love too! Empty it completely, spray with disinfectant, and scrub with a toilet brush. Once cleaned, you’ll be amazed at how fresh and odor-free it feels.

Refresh Your Bedding

Your bed is a sanctuary, so give it a springtime makeover. Replace thick winter sheets with lighter, spring-friendly bedding. Add a light-colored duvet or spring-themed pillows for an entirely new vibe that invites ultimate relaxation.

Bring in Fresh Flowers

Spring is all about flowers! Brighten up your master bedroom, guest bathroom, kitchen, or living room with fresh, fragrant blooms like lilacs, tulips, or daffodils. These cheerful additions make your home feel fresh, light, and happy.

Tackle the Garage

Spring is the perfect time to declutter your garage. Start by sorting items into piles (keep, donate, sell, recycle). Once the clutter is gone, dust, sweep, and wipe down surfaces to make your garage feel as organized and fresh as the rest of your home.

Welcome Spring with a Clean Slate

There’s nothing as sweet as springtime scents and a little bit of sunshine! This season, make sure your Schaeffer Family home feels just as fresh as it does outside with a little bit of cleaning. We can’t wait to see how you spruce up your home! From all of us at Schaeffer Family Homes, have a happy and refreshing spring.
