Heyday Hacks: Spring Cleaning Tips + Tricks

First things first, set the vibe. Grab your headphones and click this link for our Spring Cleaning playlist! Music will help to keep you motivated and energized while tackling your cleaning tasks. Be sure to take dance breaks to keep your energy high! 

Start by decluttering one room at a time. As our friend & collaborator Sarah Parisi of The Clutter Curator says, “Organize your ‘holy’ space. You want this space to be inviting, motivating and a daily reminder of how important this process of decluttering and organizing is to you.”  Once you have identified your “holy” space; the epicenter of the home: “EDIT! Donate or toss items that you no longer need. Open every cabinet, every drawer, every closet. Relocate items that belong in other spaces of your home.”

Use the "keep, donate, toss" method to make decisions easier and keep only what truly sparks joy.

Be sure to hit these key – and sometimes forgotten – areas every spring.

Air vents: Dust and debris can build up in air vents and ducts, affecting air quality. Use a vacuum attachment or a microfiber cloth to clean vents. 

Mattress: Mattresses can harbor sweat, dead skin cells + dust mites. Vacuum your mattress, sprinkle baking soda over it, let it sit for a few hours, and vacuum it again to freshen it up. We like to freshen our mattresses with a clean scent: Clarity Core Linen Spray White by Casaluna from Target. 

Shower curtains: Wash your shower curtain and liner to prevent mold and mildew growth. Toss them in the washing machine with some towels and detergent for scrubbing action to keep them fresh. 

Under and behind appliances: We often forget–or just move the thought to the back burner–to clean behind and under appliances like the refrigerator, stove, and washing machine. Grime and grit, dust and debris can accumulate in these areas, affecting both cleanliness and appliance efficiency.

PRO TIP: Treat yourself to a small reward after each room you clean, whether it's a sweet treat, a quick walk in the sunshine and fresh air, or purchasing one thing in your Amazon cart. You deserve it!
