G’day, budget-conscious clean-up crew!
Spring is in full swing; for many of us, it’s time for the annual spring cleaning ritual. But spring cleaning doesn’t have to involve expensive cleaning products or professional services. Here are some tips for making your home fresh and clean without cleaning your bank account.
1. DIY Cleaning Products
Many common household items, such as vinegar, baking soda, and lemon, can make effective, natural cleaning products. Not only are these DIY cleaners cheaper, but they’re also healthier for your home and the environment.
2. Declutter and Sell
Spring cleaning is an excellent opportunity to declutter. You might even make money by selling unwanted items online or at a garage sale.
3. Borrow, Don’t Buy
If you need special equipment for your spring cleaning, like a carpet cleaner or pressure washer, consider borrowing it from a neighbour or friend instead of buying or renting.
4. Efficient Cleaning Techniques
Using efficient cleaning techniques can save you both time and money. For example, cleaning from top to bottom ensures you won’t knock dust onto already cleaned areas.
5. Repurpose Old Clothing
Instead of buying new cleaning cloths or mops, repurpose old t-shirts or towels. It’s an excellent way to recycle and save money.
6. Create a Cleaning Schedule
A plan can prevent you from feeling overwhelmed and purchasing unnecessary cleaning products or services. Break down tasks over a week or two to make the process manageable.
With these tips in mind, spring cleaning can be both effective and economical. Tune in to our next blog post, where we’ll share some budget-friendly ideas for your spring break getaway.
Keep it clean and save!
