I have three adorable AND crazy dogs and one husband who always seems to be dirty. I do my best to make sure all four of my boys keep their dirt confined to the outside, but boys will be boys – especially mine. That’s exactly why I do my Spring cleaning with BISSELL. It helps me get all that dirt out of the carpet and upholstery. Vacuuming just doesn’t cut it in this house! Thank you BISSELL for sponsoring today’s post on spring cleaning.

Spring Cleaning with BISSELL Gets the Gunk Out

I use my BISSELL Upright Deep Cleaner at least once a month. I SHOULD do it every week, but I just don’t have the time. I usually just hit the paths and call it a day throughout the year. When Spring cleaning time rolls around, though, I hit those carpets hard. I’m talking moving furniture, cleaning the carpet, and cleaning the upholstery – the whole nine.

Spring Cleaning with BISSELL

This year, I did my spring cleaning with BISSELL and their new Professional Deep Cleaning with Febreze Formula. It’s awesome. Even though I try to stay on top of cleaning as much as possible, after three or four months of my dogs and my husband all cooped up in the house, it gets a little ripe. I mean, it’s not terrible, but you certainly can’t call it fresh in my house. What can you expect really with a ginormous Shepherd, and two small, but energetic Boston Terrier mixes running around outside and then running around all over our carpets and furniture?

Spring Cleaning with BISSELL

I also need to mention that the carpet in my office needs to be completely replaced. It’s the original carpeting from when we moved in which was over ten years ago. My dogs have been ripping it up. But, until that’s in the budget, we do our best to keep it as clean as possible.

Spring Cleaning with BISSELL

Let me tell you, if you don’t have a BISSELL deep cleaner, you need to get one. Spring cleaning with BISSELL is awesome. Their new formula has Febreze in it, so it neutralizes odors while it gets out four month’s worth of outside dirt, sweat, and doggy odors. It also has Scotch Guard, which helps keep new dirt from sticking and grinding into the fibers of my carpet and furniture. I dumped several buckets of black water down my drain while I cleaned. Pro tip: Clean the furniture first. That way it can dry while you move it and deep clean the carpets.

    Everyone in our house gets 2 baskets. Each goes to their room and sweeps through drawers, hangers, toy bins etc. Their options are keep it (leave it where it belongs), donate, or toss. It saves me time to do the rest of the house.

    Spring cleaning is something I look forward to and dread at the same time. This year my house is truly in need of a deep cleaning. In the past year I’ve had to put down two senior cats who were both very sick toward the end; as a result my carpet is dreadful. I guess my tip is to find something that puts you in the mood. For me, that’s music. I put on cheerful music, open the drapes/blinds, and get busy. I also find that sunny days make it easier to get the job done, while rainy days put me to sleep and zap my energy.

    An easy way to clean the shower head: fill a quart size freezer baggie with a couple inches of white vinegar and wrap a rubber band around the opening a few times. Stretch the rubber band open so you can slide the baggie onto the shower head and secure the rubber band around the neck. The shower head should be submerged in the vinegar. Leave at least overnight. Take it off and run hot water. The vinegar cleans away soap scum and hard water build up.

    Always begin on the right side of your stove, then move clockwise around the room. The stove is typically the dirtiest part of the kitchen, so ending with it keeps you from spreading dirt and grease. (First, soak drip pans and knobs in warm soapy water. By the time you’ve worked your way around, they’ll be easier to clean.)

    I always start with taking care of big projects one by one. One day I clean the refrigerator inside and out and wash all of the drawers and shelves by hand. One day I clean all of the light fixtures, ceiling fans and lamp shades. I spend one day washing all of the windows, washing the wood blinds, cleaning the fireplace brick, etc. By the time I get done with all of the individual projects it makes going room by room easier and I’m thankful that the time consuming cleaning is down.

    My spring cleaning tip is start from the top and work your way down. Start in one room and don’t miss anything. Stock up on boxes to use to sort yard sale items, church donation, homeless/women shelters and bring your tote of cleaning supplies into each room. Leave the room after your finished with a new plug-in deodorizer or whatever you use to freshen the air.

    A silly tip for dusting I have is to wear a sock on your hand! I have done this for years, old socks, mismatch socks, I save and use to dust with. Makes it easy to pick things up and dust. Spring cleaning in general for me is to air out the house! Open my windows and door wall and let the fresh air in. Take blankets outside and let them absorb that wonderful smell! I take my lampshades outside and pat the dust off them.

    One of my favorite spring cleaning tips is to take down your curtains, dust/wash your windows, wash your curtains and then put them back up before opening up the windows to let the fresh air in. Now, you won’t be blowing dust around when you open your windows, but will blow around the scent of freshly washed curtains instead! A nice laundry booster like Downy Unstoppables makes it extra nice!

    In an effort to help us purge a little more during spring cleaning, I always set a monetary goal. Whatever we pull out for consignment or a yard sale, goes to that goal. Something like a trip to the aquarium, a night out at the movies and dinner, something like that.

All the spring clothes replace the winer. My favorite time of the year. I also go through all the cabinets and give away items I haven’t used or don’t want. #springcleaning

    Spring Cleaning is a great time to clean all your trash cans, indoor and outdoor. Line them up outside and use a pressure washer or strong water hose.

    I take it one room per day. Less overwhelming that way. Crank up some great tunes, and consider it my daily workout!

    For miscellaneous stains on walls, floors and countertops, I use Woolrite Pet Stain Remover. It works great on car grease/oil (my husband is a mechanic), food stains, pet stains, and “what IS that?!” stains!

    My spring cleaning tip is to focus on one room at a time so you do not overwhelm yourself. I would suggest starting from the top with the ceiling fan and light fixtures before moving down to cabinets, tables, and finally the floor. If you go from top to bottom you will not have to worry about dust and dirt being knocked down to other surfaces.

    A place for everything and everything in its place. Makes it so you don’t have declutter and you can get to deep cleaning in the “Spring” faster.

    Take a week and do one room a day. Clean EVERYTHING in that room. ;Be generous with donating things you do not use or want anymore. A solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water will disinfect everything. But limit yourself to one room a day so you don’t get burnt out.

    My best Spring cleaning tip is to start with the closets. Before storing your winter clothes, separate them into piles to keep, toss, donate, mend or take to the dry cleaner. Take out your Spring/Summer clothes and go through putting in piles to keep, toss donate mend or take to the dry cleaner. Go through your shoes, purses and accessories and donate or toss those you haven’t worn for a while or are worn.

    I use the recycle, reduce and reuse method. We recycle what our city accepts, we reduce what we purchase and we reuse items like old tshirts as rags or repaint things instead of buying new items.

    Open all the doors and windows and begin by sweeping all the bare floors and rugs. Next tackle the windows. Then the carpets! The fresh air through the house helps air out the house.
