Common Spring Cleaning Mistakes

Spring cleaning looms over every homeowner’s head as the time comes around every year. But you might be making some common mistakes that make spring cleaning harder! Before you start checking off tasks on your to-do list, keep reading to learn more about the mistakes that many make when they start deep cleaning!


Lifting Heavy Objects by Yourself

It’s important to move furniture around when spring cleaning, especially when deep cleaning a home. However, moving furniture by yourself, even with tools that make it easier, can be dangerous and result in injury. If you have doubts about a piece of furniture being too heavy, it might be best to wait to move it until you have help. If you can move the heavy object, remember to lift with your legs and to not bend at the waist.

Mixing Cleaning Products

Most cleaning products contain chemicals that, when combined, can result in toxic or even fatal consequences. Even cleaning products that are labelled as “natural” or “eco-friendly” should not be mixed. It’s recommended to have a trusty general cleaning product that can be used throughout the house, with the occasional cleaning products for specific rooms of the house to avoid accidentally mixing the chemicals.

Tackling Cleaning First

Attempting deep cleaning before decluttering can make the spring cleaning process more difficult and frustrating because you will find yourself moving the same items around as you try to clean. Beginning your cleaning process without a clear plan can also make cleaning frustrating as you try to balance multiple tasks at once. Remember that spring cleaning is a long process that isn’t a one-day project and to take it one task at a time.
