Your Complete Spring Cleaning Guide

March 24, 2023

Spring is a time for renewal, rejuvenation... and cleaning! After a long winter of being cooped up indoors, it’s time to open the windows, let the fresh air in, and get your home or business ready for the new season. We're here to provide some tips to help make the process easier and more effective.


Benefits of Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is more than just a way to declutter and organize your space. It has numerous benefits for both your physical and mental health, including:

  1. Reducing stress: An organized space can help you feel more in control of your environment.
  2. Improving indoor air quality: Over the winter months, dust, pet dander, and other allergens can accumulate in your home or business. Spring cleaning helps to remove these allergens, improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of respiratory issues.
  3. Enhancing productivity: A clean and organized space can help you feel more motivated and productive, making it easier to focus.


Spring Cleaning Checklist:

  1. Declutter your space: Go through your belongings and get rid of any items that you no longer need or want. Now is the time to finally tackle that junk drawer!
  2. Dust surfaces: Dust all surfaces in your home or business, including ceiling fans, shelves, countertops, and furniture. Remember to start from top to bottom, as dust will inevitably fall from higher fixtures.
  3. Clean windows: Clean windows inside and out, including screens and tracks. Use a streak-free cleaner and a squeegee for best results.
  4. Vacuum floors and carpets: Vacuum all floors and carpets in your home or business, paying attention to high traffic areas and corners. Have carpets and rugs professionally cleaned if necessary.
  5. Sweep and mop hard floors: Sweep hard floors to remove debris, then mop with a suitable cleaning solution for your flooring type.
  6. Deep clean kitchen and bathrooms: Scrub sinks, toilets, and showers/tubs with a cleaning solution and disinfectant. Clean appliances, including the refrigerator, oven, and microwave.
  7. Clean outdoor spaces: hose down porches, patios, and outdoor furniture.
  8. Check smoke detectors and replace batteries: Check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if needed.


Spring cleaning is a lot of work, so remember to delegate tasks to your team or family, put on a good playlist, and take breaks. Get ready to roll up your sleeves, put on your cleaning gloves, and start the warmer months with a refreshed space!

As the winter cold sets in across Nebraska and Iowa, homeowners face a significant risk: frozen pipes. When temperatures plummet, the water in pipes can freeze, leading to expansion and potential bursts that flood homes and cause extensive damage. Here’s a guide on safeguarding your plumbing as winter approaches. Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem When water freezes, it expands. In confined spaces like pipes, this expansion creates pressure, which can lead to cracks and bursts. Pipes in unheated spaces, such as basements, attics, and garages, are especially vulnerable, as are those along exterior walls. Once a pipe bursts, the resulting flood can cause thousands of dollars in damage—not to mention the hassle of cleanup and repair.

Why Prompt Restoration is Crucial Water damage is a homeowner's worst nightmare. It strikes suddenly and causes chaos. The consequences can be bad if not addressed promptly, whether from burst pipes, leaking roofs, or natural disasters. At Christenson Cleaning & Restoration, we recognize the critical importance of swift action in mitigating these risks and restoring peace of mind. Understanding Water Damage The aftermath of water damage can be disastrous, posing risks to both property and health. Delaying restoration efforts can worsen these dangers, leading to structural damage, mold growth, electrical hazards, health risks, and property damage. One of the most immediate dangers is structural damage. When water infiltrates building materials such as wood, drywall, and insulation, it compromises their integrity, leading to warping, rotting, and potential structural collapse. Over time, untreated water damage can weaken the foundation of a property, posing safety hazards and requiring extensive repairs. The Benefits of Prompt Restoration Acting quickly is essential when facing water damage: Prevent Further Damage: Prompt restoration minimizes the spread of moisture, preventing secondary issues like mold growth and structural deterioration. Protect Health and Safety: Swift action reduces health risks associated with mold, bacteria, and contaminants, safeguarding occupants' well-being. Preserve Property Value: Timely restoration helps preserve property value by salvaging materials and belongings and avoiding costly repairs.
