Spring Cleaning: Our Spring Cleaning Soundtrack and Tips to Tidy Up Your Home

Spring is finally here, and that means it's time to get our homes in order! But who says cleaning has to be a chore? We say, let's make it a party! In this blog post, we'll provide the ultimate dance party playlist and tips to tidy up your home.


First, let's talk about the playlist. It's no secret that music can be a powerful motivator, and cleaning is no exception. We've put together a playlist that's sure to get you grooving while you tidy up your space. Here’s what’s on rotation for our playlist.

Now that the vibes are set, it's time to get cleaning! Here are some tips to tidy up your home:

Declutter: Start by going through your home and getting rid of anything you don't need or use anymore. This will not only make your space feel more open and organized, but it will also make cleaning easier in the long run. Donate or discard items that no longer serve a purpose in your home to create a more streamlined and clutter-free environment.

Start from the top: When cleaning your space, start from the top and work your way down. Begin by dusting ceiling fans, light fixtures, and high shelves before moving on to lower surfaces like countertops, furniture, and floors. This prevents dust and debris from falling onto surfaces you've already cleaned, ensuring a more thorough cleaning process.

Use multi-purpose cleaners: Save time and money by using multi-purpose cleaners that can be used on a variety of surfaces. Look for eco-friendly options that are effective in cleaning different areas of your home, such as kitchen counters, bathroom tiles, and glass surfaces. This reduces the need for multiple cleaning products and simplifies your cleaning routine.

Don't forget the details: Pay attention to the small details that can often be overlooked during regular cleaning. Wipe down light switches, doorknobs, and other commonly touched surfaces with a disinfectant to ensure a clean and hygienic home. Clean under furniture, behind appliances, and in tight corners to remove hidden dust and dirt that may accumulate over time.

Organize: If a system in your home isn’t working properly, then reinvent it. Find inspiration online or through the Netflix Show “The Home Edit” and contain, organize and create functional spaces. This will make all the difference on how you navigate and enjoy your home. 

Enlist help: Cleaning and organizing doesn't have to be a solo activity. Enlist the help of family or friends, or make it a fun activity for you and your roommates. Assign tasks to different individuals or set aside designated cleaning days to make the process more efficient and enjoyable. Put on some upbeat music or a podcast to keep your energy up and make the task more enjoyable.


By following these practical tips, you can declutter and organize your home, and make cleaning easier in the long run. A clean and organized living space not only enhances the visual appeal of your home but also contributes to a healthier and happier living environment. So roll up your sleeves, gather your cleaning supplies, and get ready to transform your space into a pristine and clutter-free haven! With these tips and your new groovy playlist, your home will be sparkling in no time! So turn up the music, grab your cleaning supplies, and let's get this party started.
