Whether you are a housewife, househusband and especially if you work as well as having to do housework you can save a lot of time with a little preparation for spring cleaning.

It may be tempting to just get in a Clearwater cleaning service company but you can do a lot of the work yourself if you plan and get organized. First of all you need to be honest about how much time you really will find and how much work there is to do. Make a list of jobs and look at which will take the most time. You will be most likely to find time for lots of smaller jobs so take a look at bigger jobs and also any jobs that could be done better with better equipment than you have available.

These kind of jobs are likely to include carpet cleaning and steam cleaning and you may want to get in a local Clearwater cleaning service for these to save you time and to do a better job with professional equipment. If these jobs need to be done before or after other jobs make sure you plan when they will be done and plan everything else around them; you may want to look up Clearwater cleaning services online or in your local Yellow Pages and book someone as soon as possible to ensure they will be available.

One of the first jobs you will want to do is to de-clutter and tidy, this will leave it clear for all other jobs. You can though save a lot of time by simply putting things away rather than simply dropping them around the place in the weeks running up to your cleaning and get your family members or housemates to do the same. This may also include tidying away things that have been in the wrong place for some time by picking things up as you go between rooms while going about your daily routine.

Getting in the right supplies is of course very important, if you do use a local Clearwater cleaning service for some of the cleaning they will bring a wide selection of cleaning products but you will need supplies for the parts of your spring clean you plan to complete. The easiest thing is to get items when you are doing a weekly shop but this means planning ahead so list what you will need for each task.

Even after all of this planning you may want to put off your spring clean or get in a Clearwater cleaning services company to do it instead: the trick is to try and make the cleaning as enjoyable as possible. This could mean promising yourself a treat when the job is done but also setting up some entertainment while you are working. Set up music on a MP3 player with the right kind of upbeat music to listen to as you work or if you have a tablet computer you could even load a favourite movie or TV show to move around with you as you clean your home so you are never without entertainment, even when reorganising your loft.
