This coming Thursday is the first
day of spring. And that means that warmer weather is right around the corner.
It also means that it’s time for me to do some spring cleaning to get my place ready
for warmer temperatures. So this weekend, I’ve decided to dedicate my Saturday to
spring cleaning my apartment.
To make my spring cleaning adventure
more fun, I’ve recruited my roommates to help. With their help, we’ll be
improving our health by opening up all the doors and windows and ridding our
apartment of the dirt and dust that has accumulated over the winter.
To make sure I accomplish everything
I need to, I put together a quick spring cleaning plan. First, I made a quick list
of all the rooms that need to be cleaned (e.g. kitchen, bathroom, basement).
Second, I included the major items in each room (e.g. refrigerator/freezer,
bathtub) that need to be cleaned as well. I also listed the items that need
replacing and I never seem to replace (e.g. air conditioning filters, light
bulbs, fire alarm/TV remote batteries). Last, I put together a quick schedule to
stay on task. For example, we’ll spend an hour in each area so that we get
everything accomplished on time.
In
addition, my roommates and I have decided to gather the clothes we haven’t worn
in the last year and the furniture we don’t use and give them to charity. It
should provide more space and could benefit a person or family in need.
So this weekend, spend some time
prepping your own house or apartment for warmer weather. If you have kids, give
them tasks and turn it into a fun family activity. Get a fresh start this
spring with a clean and organized home.
