What does a Spring Clean Actually Mean?

It’s a saying many of us are familiar with, but how many people actually Spring Clean? Well, different people have their own interpretation of Spring cleaning. There are somewhere it’s a chance to sort out the whole house. Which can mean everything from vacuuming every room, while tidying up all those loose ends. Others, however, quick dust and a cup of tea are all that’s needed.

Sometimes, there’s a need for a happy medium. You may not need to re-organise the house from top to bottom, but it’s an opportunity for a healthy clear-out. As the season starts to change, it’s time to revaluate what you may or may not need for the rest of the year.

Decluttering Your Home

Is your house in Spain getting filled with unnecessary boxes that need to go into storage? Or is it time to get the holiday home in the Costa del Sol ready for the summer?

When it comes to a Spring clean, for some people it’s purely a state of mind. It could be a change in career, whether that be starting a new job or investigating franchise opportunities in Spain. Maybe you’re thinking of taking the summer off and going travelling? In which case you might need to some sell some of your much loved possessions.

If you are selling anything though, don’t rush into anything. You could have something hidden away in a storage unit in Costa del Sol that’s worth more than you realise. Maybe you have a collection of old records or a box of vintage toys in your garage. Online markets such as ebay.co.uk are of course great for a quick sale. However, sometimes it’s worth hanging onto things until the time’s right.

You never know when clothes are going to come back into fashion, or a one-time fad becomes highly collectable. As such, decluttering your home doesn’t always mean throwing things away.

Start your Spring Clean

Even if having a bit of a tidy up leaves you feeling nostalgic, you still have to clean. So don’t forget to be methodical. Especially if you are going to cover every corner of your home. Dedicated some time to each room, those little jobs will soon add up.

If you’re spring clean is a bit of a bigger job though, it could be time to think of that extra storage place. After all, the spare room for example isn’t going to decorate itself. So while you may still need the furniture, you can always put it into storage while you crack on with the painting.
