Attention, humans: Spring officially begins in less than a month, and that means it's almost time for spring cleaning. While everyday organization and housekeeping isn't my favorite experience, I truly adore going through my house and completely cleaning it each year as we welcome the season.
Whether you want to tidy up your house slightly more than usual or you're in the mood to completely upend the whole house, you probably need at least a few supplies to get you going.
Here's a list of everything you need to get your house all ready for (hopefully) brighter days.
Spring Cleaning Tools for Decluttering
First things first: Spring is the best time to begin decluttering your home! Luckily, setting up a decluttering kit doesn't have to be too hard. Here are a few things you definitely need:
- Very strong trash bags, like these Hefty Drawstring Trash Bags, Large (Amazon $13.49)
- Plenty of cardboard boxes for donations and storage, like these Uboxes Medium Moving Boxes (Amazon, $21.78)
- Plastic bins for miscellaneous items you plan to store (Amazon, $75)
Spring Cleaning Tools for Bathrooms
If you have kids, I can bet that your bathrooms probably need some major TLC. There's no judgment, because trust me, as a mom, I get it! Here are a few supplies you definitely need:
- Basic cleaning supplies, including a bucket (Target, $4), reusable latex gloves (Target, $4), broom and dustpan (Target, $12.49), and a mop (Target, $9.99)
- Bathroom-cleaning chemicals, like soap scum remover (Walmart, $3.92), a disinfectant such as Pine-Sol (Walmart, $6.88), or bleach (Walmart, $5.78)
- Other things you might need: baking soda, vinegar, and a spray bottle
Spring Cleaning Tools for Bedrooms
Is there anything as satisfying as going to sleep in a truly clean bedroom? Some days, I don't think there is! In addition to most of what's listed above, here's what you need to get your bedroom in good shape:
- A long-handled duster like this swivel-head one (Target, $13.99)
- Furniture polish (Walmart, $3.48)
