After the festivities of the holiday season, it’s time to plan for the upkeep of your house. As they always say, it’s best to start the year right!

Don’t worry, this isn’t as stressful as you think it is. Cleaning up for the New Year can be a breeze, whether you have a mansion or a studio apartment, as long as you know a few simple tricks.

If you want to know more about how you can clean your home for the new year, this post is for you.

Evaluate The Mess

One must first determine what needs cleaning. If possible, carry a clipboard and pen with you as you go from room to room. By taking note of the problem, you may determine what kind of cleaning supplies will be required.

Get All of Your Cleaning Supplies and Tools 

Getting your house in order for the new year is a lot less of a hassle if you have a system in place beforehand.

Make sure you have all the cleaning supplies you’ll need before you start. Here are a few things you must accomplish first:

• The vacuum bag must be emptied before use, and don’t forget to bring the attachments for your vacuum
• Cleaning dust
• Collect enough old rags
• Always have a pair of cleaning gloves
• Have a stash of disinfectant wipes, window cleaner, oven cleaner, etc. on hand.
• Scrubbing sponges should be readily available
• Have at least one bucket available filled with hot, soapy water

Let The Fresh Air In By Opening The Windows And Door

If it has been a while since you had a thorough cleaning, you may want to let some fresh air in.

Stinky odors may be swiftly dispelled by opening a window. It also helps circulate the air inside your homes.

Don’t Forget To Clean The Appliances 

Washing machines and dishwashers, in particular, should be cleaned once a month. They are frequently disregarded, but the New Year’s cleaning isn’t complete without them.

Move Around the Furniture When Vacuuming 

It’s a weird behavior that many people have, yet they vacuum around furniture instead of moving it. We wouldn’t call that a thorough cleaning.

Move your dining room chair, coffee table, or anything similarly sized, then do the vacuuming.

Start Cleaning Habits

Making a few small tasks habitual around the house is a great way to maintain a clean and tidy environment. We encourage you to ask all your family members to do the same so you can maintain a clean home.

You may design your own timetable, but you should always make room for it in your weekly plans.

What You Should Get Rid Before The New Year Starts

We understand that many people can get sentimental. However, to start your new year right, you must be able to let go of the clutter.

Old Pillows 

After a year or two, you should get a new pillow. Rather than tossing your old pillows in the trash, see if your local animal shelter will take them to use as bedding for dogs. You can always recycle your old pillows.

Food In Your Pantry 

Donate any leftover canned goods or packaged goods from the holidays to a local food bank. Don’t forget to check your fridge for leftovers you can clear out.

Expired Items 

As soon as you’ve checked the fridge, it’s time to go through the bathroom and double-check the expiration dates on all goods.

There’s no need to keep used shampoo, cosmetics, ointments, or medications after expiration.

Toys With Missing Pieces 

If you dug out a puzzle from last year but discovered that some parts were missing, you might want to throw it away.

The same holds true for card games, toys, and board games.
