With springtime in the air, new growth awaits this season! You can take ahold of some of that growth by scheduling a spring cleaning session for your apartment at Sunnyside Village Apartments. Here are some cleaning tips and tricks to make the date as seamless as possible.
Kids Cleaning Tips to Get Them on Board
Most likely, those little ones aren’t the biggest fans of helping out around the house. Getting kids on board with spring cleaning starts with some reframing. There are a few cleaning games for kids that can make it easier for them to get on board with tidying up. You can try a “timed tidy”: Everyone must clean as much as they can before a song finishes playing. Kids will love the excitement of scrambling to get the task done fast so much that they might forget they’re cleaning! Or, you can set up a token system, where for every time they complete an age-appropriate chore, they rack up a token to collect toward a small reward. By associating spring cleaning with good feelings, kids can change their tune with tidying down the line!
Powerful DIY Cleaning Products
Springtime is known for reinvigorating the natural world around us. Why not celebrate the environment by committing to homemade cleaning products? Not only are they a more frugal choice, but DIY cleaning products are typically simple to make. For example, this all-purpose cleaner recipe uses common household ingredients to create a powerful grime-fighter with a pleasant citrus scent. Spray on kitchen and bathroom counters for an earth-friendly option to store-bought products!
More Green Cleaning Hacks
Eco-friendly cleaning invokes the spirit of springtime in general! There are plenty of ways to change up your current cleaning arsenal to make your spring cleaning session greener. This helpful list is a great resource for those looking to adopt safer cleaning product choices. Baking soda, vinegar, and pure castile soap are some common (and cost-effective) cleaning heavy-hitters. Feel free to experiment with these green cleaning hacks for all your seasonal tidying sessions!
