teaBirds are chirping, the air smells fresher, and you're ready to emerge from your hibernation. *Finally* spring has come again. As the weather gets warmer, I feel like I need to clean.
There’s a reason it’s called spring cleaning. Hear from Jacqui Knapp, professional organizer and CEO of Knapp House. “Spring is about starting a new, inspiring and healthy lifestyle as the days get longer, flowers bloom and the weather warms up,” she says. Hidden bacteria, allergens, [and] stagnant energy; And it’s a great opportunity to re-evaluate and let go of the things that are weighing us down.”
If your typical spring cleaning routine consists of decluttering (e.g. removing old clothes, shoes, and furniture that you're not using), that's a good start. But this year, consider going one step further and deep cleaning your home. According to Knapp, a clean environment can actually change the energy of your home. (You know when you feel it, right? lighter After a serious cleaning session? Yes.)
Her checklist for a perfectly spotless home? “Mop the floor. Wipe down counters or shelves. [and] cabinet; Go behind the furniture. Go under the bed. Vacuum your closet and shake out clothes you've worn for a long time. Dust your shoes and throw away old papers and magazines that collect dust,” she says.
Undoubtedly, delving into every nook and cranny can feel like a big task. That's why Knapp is sharing some super helpful spring cleaning tips and essentials to get you started, all available on QVC, to make the whole process feel like a breeze as summer approaches.
