Spring is officially here, and it’s time for spring cleaning! If you feel a little daunted by the idea of deep cleaning your apartment, make it easy on yourself with a few great tips. Here are some suggestions from The Metropolitan at Village at Leesburg:

Set your goals: The first thing to do is establish what you can get done and how long it will take you. Set realistic goals, and plan your course of action.

Open the windows: Open the windows and let the fresh air in. This will help eliminate winter staleness,  and allow the cheerful sunlight to come in.

Check cleaning products: Save yourself the hassle of having to go out and buy more products in the middle of the cleaning session, by having everything you need beforehand.

Organize with totes: For items needing to be stored away or donated, organize them in large totes. I recommend the large rubbermaid containers, but others will work well, too.

How about you? What is your spring cleaning method? Tell me in the comments!
