As the days get brighter, you’ll see dust and dirt that went unnoticed during winter. Luckily the long spring evenings are perfect for an extra bit of cleaning, and casinos en ligne france top tips will help get you going.
Declutter First
Every six months or so, you should take some time to declutter your home. Before your spring clean is an ideal time for this job. Gather any old, unwanted or broken items such as clothes, bed linen, books, toys, ornaments, and even furniture. Sort everything into piles for recycling, charity and storage. You’ll feel great after this therapeutic exercise, and your home will already be looking tidier.
Prepare Your Kit
Before you get stuck in the dirty work, make sure you have all the cleaning supplies you will need to hand in. Essentials include strong rubber gloves, cloths, sponges, brushes, bleach, all-purpose cleaner, furniture and glass polish, bin bags and paper towels.
Work from the Top Down
Always clean from the ceiling to the floor; first tidying, then dusting along the ceiling, light fixtures, pictures, etc., and finally vacuuming and mopping the floor when everything else in the room is done. This just makes sense because the earlier jobs will of course dirty the floor. You may also find it makes your work seem a bit easier and more productive if you finish either the downstairs or the upstairs completely before starting the other, courtesy of new online casinos.

Don’t Forget the Fridge & Freezer
The best time to take on the task of cleaning your fridge and freezer is right before you do your grocery shopping when the contents are at their lowest. Take everything out and dispose of any items that have passed their use-by date, and almost-empty items that you will never use. Look out for opening jars and bottles that state on the label that they should be used within a certain number of days after opening. Wipe down the interior of the fridge with a damp cloth and disinfectant. The same can be done for food cupboards if you think it’s needed. Defrost your freezer and then wipe it down with disinfectant too.
Cleaning Curtains & Blinds
Curtains and blinds are usually neglected in routine cleaning sessions but can collect a surprising amount of dust and dirt. Some curtains can be machine washed or dry-cleaned; always check the care label and follow the instructions provided. Most vacuum cleaners come with a small nozzle with a short brush built-in that is ideal for vacuuming curtains and fabric blinds. Remember to vacuum both sides to remove as much dust as possible. Steam cleaners are ideal for giving curtains and fabric blinds the most thorough clean. Wooden, metal or plastic blinds only need to be wiped down with a dry cloth, or with a suitable cleaner.
