Spring has sprung which means the entertaining season is here. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by spring cleaning, you’re not alone as new research from Bunnings reveals that 40% of Aussies feel the same. It’s time to tackle those tasks with a fresh mindset—and the ultimate spring cleaning checklist, from Bunnings Workshop community DIY expert, Jacob Zubrinich.
Start with a scrub up:
Whether you’ve got a weekly cleaning routine or not, every home has those dusty, hard-to-reach spots. This season is the ideal time to dig into those nooks and crannies and give them a once-over to start the season with a truly clean home. Venetian blinds are a great place to start, and using the Windoware Venitian Blind Slat Cleaner is a terrific hack to get them spick and span in no time.
Get rid of grimy glass:
In the bathroom, the shower screen cleanliness can really sneak up on you, with mineral deposits forming a grimy film. To help remove dirt and scum from the shower screen, the Simple Green Shower Glass Restorer is the perfect shower glass restorer that will make it look brand new.
Dust hard-to-reach places:
There are many spots around the home that are magnets for dust but are just that little bit out of reach or are just too tricky to get to, including ceiling fans, light fittings, bookshelves and air conditioning vents. An extendable duster can make those hard-to-reach places easier to clean. Try the Sabco Extendable Feathered Microfibre Duster, which has a flexible head and extends to 2.1 metres is perfect for dusting those tough to reach spots.
Clean up grubby walls:
Grubby walls are often forgotten when we tick off the weekly clean, but they shouldn’t be forgotten. The best way to clean up the walls is by using a microfibre cloth, and if you’re short on time, a quick spot clean goes a long way. For a high performance clean, use a Sugar Soap such as Selleys Original Sugar Soap, and you’ll be done in no time.
Freshen your kitchen:
If there’s space between your cabinets and the ceiling, it’s likely coated with a grimy mix of dust and grease. Make sure to give your kitchen the ultimate clean by using an all-purpose cleaner concentrate, which can be diluted to tackle anything from light everyday cleaning to tough kitchen grease. Just add a touch more concentrate for those stubborn spots and dilute it further for regular cleaning.
Home office up-do
Our home offices may be a surprising spot for hidden dirt. Power down your devices, shake out the crumbs, and use some isopropyl alcohol (such as the Diggers 500mL Isopropl Alcohol spray) to clean and disinfect. A quick clean here and there makes a big difference in keeping your workspace fresh.
With a little help from Bunnings, you’ll be ready to clear your space—and your mind—just in time for spring!
