Cleaning is never fun, but with a few good cleaning tips the job will be quicker and easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make a schedule<\/strong><br \/>\nMaking a schedule is one of the most important things you can do when faced with a large task, such as spring cleaning. A schedule will allow you to know exactly what needs to be done and when you will do it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Involve the Entire Family<\/strong><br \/>\nAsk everyone in the household to help. This can be a perfect opportunity for the family to spend time together. Assign each person a specific room or task and allow them to make any decisions involving tossing out items or rearranging furniture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clear the Clutter<\/strong><br \/>\nNow is the perfect time to get rid of the clutter. In each room, put a box for donations and a box for trash. Start in the closets and drawers first to get rid of clothes that are no longer worn, damaged or outgrown.<\/p>\n<p>Once your spring cleaning is done, keep the house clean by creating a weekly cleaning chart and assigning chores to all family members. Make it a priority to deep clean one room each week. For example, instead of only surfacing cleaning the kitchen, spend a few extra hours doing tasks that are often put off, such as cleaning out the cupboards. Doing a few extra &quot;deep cleans&quot; throughout the year will lessen the work for your spring cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things you can do while spring cleaning is to make sure your home insurance policy is up to date. Contact Linda Dugan Insurance to get a home insurance policy or to review your current one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring cleaning in Astoria, OR is a task that not many people ever look forward to, but every spring it&rsquo;s time to get rid of the dust and dirt that has built up over the winter.
