When you’re cleaning the walls don’t just clean at their level. Kid’s sticky fingerprints can end up in the most unlikely of places, including the ceiling if they’ve had a boost from a grown up. Don’t forget to clean the outside of the window! This is a great time to do it so your child can enjoy the full clean experience all in one go.

 

Once you’ve followed all these steps you’ll have a nice collection of clothes, books, and toys you can donate or put up for sale on Facebook if they’re gently used. The bedroom will be left smelling fresh and clean which means your kids will be eager to play in their room again. Most importantly it will be a place you’re happy to walk into. If your kids are old enough this is the perfect time to introduce a cleaning schedule that they’re a part of.  This way the next time spring cleaning for kid’s bedrooms rolls around you won’t be worried so much about picking up toys and you’ll be able to spend less time on the room. 

 

Have you started spring cleaning in your home?  I certainly hope this advice helps you get your home tidy and ready for summer!
