Spring Cleaning Tips for 2023

Spring Clean in 2023 Like Never Before

The winter is fading away, and that means the perfect opportunity for Spring Cleaning 2023 is upon us. After all, if the world outside is putting on a fresh appearance, then it only makes sense to do the same for your home. However, it’s been so long since the last time you did spring cleaning. After all, it’s been a whole year! Perhaps it’s time for a refresher course on spring cleaning ideas so that you can spring clean with style. What better way could there possibly be to welcome the new season? Of course, Top Junk, your local junk removal force in Fresno, CA, knows a lot about cleaning up, and because of that, we’ll be the ones to share these eight spring cleaning tips with you today. Let’s leap right into things!

1) Clean Up Your Yard

Let’s start things off with a twist and head outside instead of inside. Wait, what? Outside? Yes, outside, because now that it’s starting to warm up, don’t you want to spend some time in the sun? Additionally, with spring on its way, there are all sorts of new plants showing up, and nature is reawakening. This means weeds are sprouting in your yard, sticks are falling from the trees, and the leftovers of last year’s leaves are still blowing around. It’s time to fill up a wheelbarrow with this yard waste.

Or, you could always rely on yard debris removal services from Top Junk so you can take your spring cleaning mission back indoors. We’ll work outside while you work inside. How’s that for teamwork?

2) Wipe Down Those Windows

You might have spent the winter pressing your hands—or your face—against the window, longing for it to be many degrees warmer. Well, now that you’ve got what you wished for, grab some glass cleaner and paper towels, then wipe away those unsightly fingerprints. If you put Top Junk on yard cleanup duty as suggested in the previous tip, this is your perfect chance to check up on our progress.

3) Pay Attention to the Kitchen

If you made a stockpile of leftovers during the winter months, it might be time to let them go. Check your refrigerator, and don’t forget your freezer, too. That way, if you discover any leftover meals from January (or even worse, Christmas) you can put them where they belong: in the trash. While you’re in the kitchen, wipe down the stove, inside and out. You don’t want crumbs from last year’s meals getting on this year’s food.

4) Dust, Dust, and Dust

While cleaning around in the kitchen, you might have discovered some unsightly dust atop the kitchen cabinets. Well, since you’ve got your duster out already, why not check around the entire house? After all, there are many high-up spaces, such as fan blades, dresser tops, and cabinet shelves, that are probably coated with dust. You don’t even need to look high to find dust. Don’t forget to dust off desks, tables, windowsills, and even floorboards.

5) Clean the Floors

Let’s segue from the floorboards to the floor itself. If you’ve been walking around the house in your socks, look at your soles. What do you see? Are your socks still pristine? Or are they covered in a layer of hair and dirt? If you answered the latter, then it’s probably time to sweep all the floors, then vacuum all the floors, and yes, mop all the floors as well! Don’t forget to scoot aside your furniture during this process. There is almost assuredly dust and dirt hiding from you underneath, and why let it get off scot-free?

6) Clean Out Storage Spaces

The holidays are a surefire way to wind up with more material possessions in your home. As a result, your older things have to retreat into storage spaces, such as basements and attics. Unfortunately, after a few years of doing this same process, your storage space fills up fast. This makes it even more difficult to spring clean, consequentially.

It may be time to clean out your storage spaces so you’re not left with a maze of junk that you’re forced to navigate every time you need to pull something out of retirement. Prepare to look over each item, determine if it’s worth keeping, and if it’s not, remove it. It can be exhausting carrying load upon load of junk out of your basement or attic, though, so don’t be afraid to ask the full-service pros at Top Junk for help. We’ll not just haul this junk away, but dispose of it, too.

7) Preparing for the Weather Shift

Spring, of course, means warmer temperatures, even in someplace as sunny as Fresno. Because of this, part of your spring cleaning routine should be putting away the items that you’re not likely to use now that winter is over. Any heavier coats, pants, and shoes can return to the storage space you freed up in the previous step. The Christmas decorations, similarly, won’t be seeing use for a long time. Put those in a box and shelve them. Are you still struggling to say goodbye to your old Christmas tree? Call up some friends for help, or even better, call Top Junk, and we’ll load it onto our truck for you.
