Studies show that the average American spends more than 7 hours a day in their bedrooms. When thinking of spring cleaning this room, most people think of simply removing clutter and changing bed linens from the winter, heavier comforter to a lighter duvet for the warmer nights.  We are going to break down spring cleaning the bedroom in these 5 easy steps.

Let’s detail our spring cleaning into the areas that are most overlooked until we get to this “every now and then” cleaning ritual.  Spring Cleaning is mainly about removing the dust built up since last Spring.  The bedroom is a soft place for us to land at night after a long day – right?  Well, with that comes a lot of soft surfaces!  Take a moment and think about all the areas in your bedroom that have soft surfaces and imagine how much dust they have collected since last Spring?

This winter has been crazy!  The entire nation has seen bone-chilling temperatures and I think we are all ready for Spring.  Well, get ready…because Spring is just around the corner – and with it comes Spring Cleaning!  Let’s discuss some of the areas in your bathroom that don’t get cleaned as often as they should and the best ways to have them sparkling in time for the warm temperatures.
