Here are three great tips!
Everything Has A Home
Go through your closets and dressers to see if there are any clothes you are ready to donate. Rule of thumb is you haven't worn something in six months to a year (depending on what it is), you probably don't love it. Ask yourself if it is something you would buy today. Maybe is not a yes!
Go through all of the bathroom drawers, and pull everything out from under the sink. Evaluate whether or not you want to throw things away, and have storage containers for the things you are going to use or need down the road.
Freshen Up
Take all of your sheets, pillow covers, duvet covers and comforters, and wash everything in hot water. Open up all of the windows and let in fresh air. During this time it would be a good idea to have your carpets cleaned professionally.
Don't forget about vertical spaces as well. Use a mild detergent and wash all of the soot and dirt off of the walls, and dust any wood that is in sight. Follow with a shine by drying the walls and all of your woodwork.
Clean Your Appliances
The first step is to run a cycle with one cup of vinegar in a dishwasher. Then sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the bottom of the washer and run it again (short cycles are fine here). The vinegar and baking soda combined will clean out any food particles and leave it smelling fresh and clean.
Cleaning the coils under or behind your refrigerator is important because they can become clogged and overheat, eventually causing your refrigerator to stop working. This is especially important if you have pets.
Be sure to check your manual on how to best clean the inside and outside of all of your appliances.
