Spring is just round the corner; the sun is beginning to emerge and the weather is getting somewhat warmer. So now is the time to start organising your spring cleaning; where you are going to start and what you want to accomplish, but this can be a daunting and stressful time.

However, with a few tips concerning the chores you can do now, your spring cleaning can be dramatically decreased. Follow these simple tips and the stress will be removed as easily and quickly as the mess.

In the Kitchen

This always seems to be the biggest cleaning job of them all, but with these tips half of your worries will be scrubbed away.

Get the big job out of the way

• Clean your oven. While you are waiting for your oven cleaner is doing its job why not clear out your top cupboards? When you do this you are sure to find some old cooking ingredients that are out of date; throw them out and give the cupboards a quick once over with a multi surface cleaner. Starting from the top is always a better option.

In the Living room

 This room seem to accommodate all the clutter as it one of the most commonly used rooms in the house.

Declutter

• Throw out all the old magazines and newspapers to free up space.
• Get a basket and put all the toys and other objects that don’t belong in the living room in there. You will be amazed with the free space you have.
• If you have any old bills laying about that you want to keep for future reference then get yourself a folder that helps you be organised. Make separate piles for each type of bill and organise how you want, maybe chronologically? This is a time consuming task, but everything will be in one place and not taking up room everywhere in the living room.

The kitchen and the living room are the rooms in the house that are commonly used the most, so keeping them organised will help minimise the spring cleaning you have to do later on.

Stress proof when it comes to the main event.
