Did you know that the concept of spring cleaning first became popular during the 1800s when most Americans were using coal and wood for heating? At the beginning of spring, most homes would need to clean the soot and grime that had built up over the course of the winter and the annual practice eventually was referred to as “spring cleaning.” 

Thankfully, living at Emblem 125 means your apartment is far easier to clean today than it was back then. But to help you get started on this year’s spring cleaning, here are a few tips.

Declutter

Spring is the perfect time to declutter your apartment. Go through each room and get rid of anything that you no longer need or want. You can also donate items that are still in good condition, and throw away anything that is no longer usable.

Organize your closet

Reorganizing your closet can go a long way. Go through your clothes and get rid of anything that no longer fits or that you haven’t worn in a while. Organize your remaining clothes by color and category, and invest in some storage solutions to help keep everything neat and tidy.

Freshen up your bedding

Finally, don’t forget to freshen up your bedding. Wash your sheets, pillowcases, and duvet cover, and consider investing in some new pillows or a fresh set of sheets to give your bedroom a whole new look.

Of course, if you would rather have a cleaning service do the work, stop by the front desk at Emblem 125 and ask for our recommendation of apartment home cleaning service companies.
