Spring Cleaning Safety Tips

Safety Tips For Spring Cleaning

Use these tips to stay safe during your DIY spring cleaning process:

• Set A Schedule: Look throughout each room of your home and make a list of what needs to be done. Prioritize what and when to clean to help you from feeling overwhelmed.
• Clear Any Clutter: Pick up any objects as you clear the clutter before cleaning entirely.
• Lift With Care: If you have to lift any heavy objects/furniture, be as careful as possible. Ask friends or family for help.
• Work Top To Bottom: Try to begin the cleaning process from the ceiling on down. This will force any debris downward, preventing any re-dusting or re-cleaning needs.
• Climb With Care: You may require the use of a ladder for some areas. Always make sure someone is there to keep it steady for you.

Safety Tips For Cleaning Supplies

Safety while handling cleaning supplies is important. Use these tips below:

• Follow All Instructions: If a label recommends wearing gloves, a mask, or safety glasses, there is certainly a good reason for it.
• Ventilate: Opening windows while cleaning will allow fresh air to circulate, preventing any potential chemical or allergic reactions.
• Keep Products Out Of Reach: Make sure you put your cleaning products out of reach for any kids or pets.
• Be Mindful Of Allergies: Always wear gloves and masks along with any other recommended protective clothing.
• Go Green: Use homemade or green cleaners to reduce any toxic cleaning chemicals. Check the labels on all products to ensure they are safe for you and the environment.
• Be Careful: Walk carefully on any floors that have just been wiped clean.
