We are finally seeing warmer weather and some green in the landscapes. Summer will be here before we know it. Before the sunshine distracts us and we get all the feels of summer, here is a guide to getting started with spring cleaning.

For us, spring cleanup isn’t just about getting the yard prepped for new grass and the flower beds ready for seeding. The winter is long and harsh, so things inside the home need a refresh. It can be overwhelming to know where to begin, so here is a checklist to getting started.

BHI Spring Cleaning Checklist

A drop of lavender oil mixed with equal parts water and white vinegar are an easy and family friendly alternative to harsh chemicals. Gentle enough to use on most surfaces!

A trade secret…new vacuum models typically come out in June, so retailers are marking down last year’s inventory just in time for spring cleanup.

The best vacuum you can buy… Miele {and it comes in lots of fun colors…even white}.

Remember, varying textures can create luxurious design elements to any room.

Don’t forget about giving your closet some love. Wardrobe transitions are key. Store the sweaters, bring out the dresses. Swap the boots for strappy sandals and your favorite flops.

This list will keep you busy for a while. Next up, we talk about the Bria Hammel Interiors Care Guide.
