It’s that time of year again in Moncks Corner. The days are getting longer, the air outside is getting warmer, and you’re starting to realize that you haven’t given your Foxbank Plantation home a good cleaning in months. Spring cleaning time is finally here, and we want to help.

Most Foxbank Plantation homeowners shy away from the dreaded task of purging, cleaning, and re-organizing their whole house. But we’re here to show you that it isn’t all that bad. With these simple tips, you’ll look at spring cleaning in a whole new light – and your home will thank you for it.

Clean top to bottom, outside to inside 

Whatever you decide to clean first, remember to start from the top and work your way down. For example, if you’re cleaning your living room first, start by dusting and wiping down high shelves. Then, work your way down to your furniture and save the floors for last. This allows you to catch any dirt or dust that may have fallen.

The same goes for your floors. Start sweeping on the outermost part of your room and work your way in so you don’t miss anything.

Get organized

There are few things more satisfying than getting organized. When it comes to organizing your home, take it one room at a time. Toss any items you no longer need, or donate them. Invest in bins and storage compartments – they make it easier to keep clutter at bay throughout the year.

Break up your cleaning

Want to make spring cleaning seem less daunting in Moncks Corner? Spread out your tasks over several days, and only take on a couple of tasks each day. Also, make it a group effort and delegate tasks to other family members. When everyone pitches in and you don’t feel like you’re up against the clock, spring cleaning can actually be enjoyable.
