This is part one of my spring cleaning series and I’m starting exactly where I feel it makes the biggest difference straight away: my bedroom. I tackled all the jobs I put off for far too long (and yes, I was genuinely embarrassed by the dust on the picture frames). I used my extendable dusters for the cobwebs up on our high pitched ceilings, wiped down the mirror and windows, changed the bed, and vacuumed the mattress and topper — I always forget to do it, but I’m always shocked by how much ends up in the vacuum. I also did a proper “move the furniture” clean, getting under the bed and sofa, and I decluttered my bedside tables so the room feels calmer. Then on the next day I moved onto my vanity area, wiped everything down, decluttered old makeup, and washed my brushes (I used a little silicone brush cleaner and face wash). I finished with a deep clean of our en suite: taking everything off the shelves (even wiping the products), using Viakal on the toilet and sinks, getting right into the drain with my sonic brush, and tackling mildew/black mould in the shower with stronger cleaners, plus my steam cleaner. It took time, but the whole room honestly felt sparkling by the end.
