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.
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?
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.
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.

Michelle Plummer says
April 11, 2015 at 7:28 pmWhen I spring clean I like to start off with boxes titled keep, sell, and toss to help declutter.
buffy says
April 11, 2015 at 7:59 pmI take it room by room and get rid of things not used within the last six months. Helps make the decision easier whether to keep or not. What I don’t, I donate.
Linda F. says
April 11, 2015 at 8:42 pmMy tip is to get your family involved. Everyone made the mess and clutter, not just you so make it a family event and have everyone pitch in and don’t be afraid to make it fun by playing music while you clean. It doesn’t have to be boring.

April 11, 2015 at 9:14 pmMy tip is to donate clothing and items that haven’t been used in a year in order to reduce clutter.
kim m says
April 11, 2015 at 9:30 pmEveryone 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.
tabitha says
April 11, 2015 at 9:55 pmjust do it! lol
it gets worse the longer you put it off.
do 1 room at a time.
Christine says
April 11, 2015 at 10:38 pmMy best Spring cleaning tip is to take it one room at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Whatever you find that you don’t use anymore, donate it, which will help clear up some space.
Thanks for the chance!
Annette says
April 11, 2015 at 10:51 pmSpring 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.
Maria Ramos says
April 12, 2015 at 1:02 amMy tip is to get everyone in the family on board when spring cleaning (it makes it go much faster) and have separate areas/bags/boxes/bins for keep, donate, sell, and garbage.
Dawn Monroe says
April 12, 2015 at 6:29 amIm not one to give cleaning tips but I like to start with something noticeable to get me motivated. I have a husband, teens, grand kids and pets. I would love to own this!

Tricia G says
April 12, 2015 at 9:06 amAn 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.
@PinkLacedPoppy says
April 12, 2015 at 9:46 amI need this help so bad. Toddlers and carpet are like oil and water! I freak out when I have things dumped on it from my kids. Have a dog and 2 cats as well. Sometimes I don’t know how to keep up! But sounds like you CAN buy sanity with BISSELL! HAHA
@PinkLacedPoppy says
April 12, 2015 at 9:51 amI think this sounds like a winner. I have a GIANT shepherd too and toddlers and carpet are oil and water. Sometimes trying to keep the carpet relatively decent is overwhelming. I could certainly use a boost!sounds like a winner to me! I’m curious if it would get my beautiful red juice stains out!
Meghan Finley says
April 12, 2015 at 11:06 amMy tip is to divide and conquer. One room at a time delegated to a particular family member makes things go faster
PuffyBiggler says
April 12, 2015 at 11:27 amMy tips for Spring cleaning: Hire someone to do it for you if you can afford it. Or, go around the house and make a list of the things you want to include in your spring cleaning. Then work off the list. Thanks for the giveaway!
Lisa says
April 12, 2015 at 12:57 pmMy tip is to go room by room. I find this a little easier and a lot less daunting when you’re thinking of it as individual rooms rather than an entire house to clean.
robyn paris says
April 12, 2015 at 3:43 pmMy tip is to hire someone to do it for me.
Brittney House says
April 12, 2015 at 3:43 pmWe like to get the kids involved and get some music and make it a fun group event.
Sandy Klocinski says
April 12, 2015 at 3:58 pmAlways 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.)
chelsea reboulet says
April 12, 2015 at 4:02 pmMy tip is to use a laundry basket and pick a room. Place all the items that don’t belong in the room to where they belong. If you have not used it in a year either donate or save for a garage sale.
Ann Fantom says
April 12, 2015 at 4:26 pmMy Spring cleaning tip is to use your used dryer sheets for dusting. The static electricity in the dryer sheet traps the dust
Candice says
April 12, 2015 at 5:12 pmWe deep clean our rugs and carpet, and try to go through our closets for Goodwill.
Kathy Hanley says
April 12, 2015 at 5:13 pmI 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.
Candie L says
April 12, 2015 at 5:21 pmI love that it is listed very specifically. I like the idea of updating the first aid kit. thank you

Betty says
April 12, 2015 at 7:31 pmI discovered a way of being more effective when spring cleaning. Partly this is clearing clutter, partly cleaning but I would pretend my mil was coming to stay for a week. For me this absolutely pushed me to up my game in both clearing and cleaning. I also didn’t dawdle about getting it done.
nicole dziedzic says
April 12, 2015 at 7:50 pmMy spring cleaning tip is making sure each room is fresh, so when cleaning and organizing, before you start take time to air out the house by opening up the windows and air out all those toxins and such.
Aimee says
April 12, 2015 at 8:12 pmMy tip is get wait til everyone is at work or school. My husband & daughter are both on the verge of being hoarders, & it’s just so much easier to clean & declutter if they’re not there to, ahem, “help”.
Robin Creager says
April 12, 2015 at 8:53 pmMy 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.
Heather B says
April 12, 2015 at 9:09 pmMy tip would be to start small. It can get overwhelming very quickly!
Laurie says
April 12, 2015 at 9:40 pmI try to clean the closets by getting rid of clothes that are no longer worn.
Seyma Shabbir says
April 12, 2015 at 10:06 pmI start room by room. Go through closets and donate clothes we no longer fit in. Wash the ones we keep but our out of season and put in a suitcase with a dryer sheet to keep the smell fresh. Vacuum the closets!
Kristin says
April 12, 2015 at 11:55 pmI try to tackle a manageable list of things to do. I use one box for stuff that needs to find a home (or be returned to its home) and a box for donate and a box for trash, for each room. So, clean and declutter, clean and declutter. I spend several hours each day on a room.
Emily Endrizzi says

Beth Hill says
April 13, 2015 at 9:44 amA 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.
nickie says
April 13, 2015 at 10:00 amI try to clean one room at a time.
Rebecca Orr says
April 13, 2015 at 1:51 pmI break my spring cleaning up by room. I have a bag for trash in each room as well as a box for stuff that needs to be put in it’s proper place. Anything that is going to be donated is put right into the back of the van for the next trip to town. I move any moveable furniture to vacuum and wash walls.
Kathleen says

Danielle Gerstenberger says
April 13, 2015 at 3:30 pmOne 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!
Liza @ Views From the 'Ville says
April 13, 2015 at 3:50 pmIn 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.
Claudia says
April 13, 2015 at 3:59 pmI usually go through all the closets and give away any items that were not worn or needed anymore. The rest of the clothes get moved to a plastic container. 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
Jesse S says
April 13, 2015 at 4:04 pmI just started my spring cleaning this week… I am dreading the windows, but I made a lot of progress in the upstairs. I recommend using the swiffer for dusting. That sure makes life easier.
Debbie Welchert says
April 13, 2015 at 4:14 pmWhen I spring clean I like to bring all of the totes in my closet out, with all the things I think I want to keep, and go through them and get rid of everything I don’t need. We have windows that can open to the inside and we clean them too. I also like to clean out all of the drawers in the kitchen.
Tracy Davis says

sandra davis says
April 14, 2015 at 12:22 amWhen I do my spring cleaning, I start with the closets. Get rid of all those unwanted items, then you have room to store other things that you find while cleaning the rest of the room. I just go from room to room and I try to completely clean atleast 1 room a day.
niki petersen says
April 14, 2015 at 6:47 amI like to break my cleaning up room by room, this way it seems more achievable. I don’t like feeling overwhelmed by cleaning the whole house.
Niki petersen says
April 14, 2015 at 7:26 amI like to break my cleaning up room by room, this makes it seem more achievable. I don’t like to feel too overwhelmed with cleaning. I find if I break it down room by room this keeps me from running around like a mad woman starting with one thing and then jumping over to another area to clean. If I am not organized I never seem to get as much done as I would like.
Jessica Stephens says
April 14, 2015 at 8:21 amWhenever I switch out my clothes for the season I like to donate clothes I don’t wear anymore. Love the decluttering!
rhoni4 says
April 14, 2015 at 9:43 amI love that it has a febreze smell. My tip for spring cleaning is have a plan and right it down. I have a checklist that I like to mark off.
Sharon says
April 14, 2015 at 11:41 amMy tips for cleaning are to take one complete room at a time and then cross it off of your list. Open the windows and allow fresh air into your whole home as much as possible to let out the stale winter air.
Amanda Sakovitz says

Ellie Wright says
April 15, 2015 at 5:41 pmI used to be sore for days after cleaning my mini blinds. I finally figured out it’s much easier to take them outside and spray them with cleaner and the water hose. I just let them dry and then re-hang them.
beth shepherd says

I would have to say my spring cleaning tip would be …….we take 2 plastic clothes hampers with wheels….and put a large garbage bag in each one.
1 One is for things we no longer use and will be donated

I just wheel them from room to room with me and clean out each room!

Carolyn Daley says
April 25, 2015 at 6:24 pmMy 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.
Mindie W says

Theresa Smith says
April 26, 2015 at 4:46 pmTake 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.
Stephanie Larison says
April 26, 2015 at 5:41 pmMy tip is get the kids involved. Have them go through their toys and clothes to donate anything they have outgrown.

Susan Smith says
April 27, 2015 at 4:44 pmMy 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.
Jennifer Herman says
April 27, 2015 at 9:29 pmI would have to say dust from high to low.
Sand says
April 27, 2015 at 9:46 pmI 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.

April 30, 2015 at 7:15 pmStart dusting from the top and work your way down, then vacuum. I loved the advice about deep cleaning sofas first always forget that and have to wait for them to dry to sit down.
Jen s says
April 30, 2015 at 8:03 pmMy number one tip for spring cleaning is to make a to-do list. This way it is divided up into smaller, more measurable goals versus “CLEANING THE ENTIRE HOUSE’ which is so overwhelming. This looks like an amazing giveaway!!
Barbara Riffe says
May 1, 2015 at 9:53 pmI spray the oven and leave overnight before cleaning it. I spend the day before spring cleaning a room washing all the linens. And the day before I clean while washing linens I fix / sew and thing broken or ripped.

May 3, 2015 at 12:42 pmMy Spring Cleaning tip is to make a solution of hot water and vinegar. Add a squirt of dish washing liquid to cut grease then sanitize the kitchen with the mixture. I start with sink, counters, cabinet doors, stove and then floors.
