While some of us have been asked to "self quarantine" by our places of employment, now would be the best time to spring clean and create a necessary distraction from the current state of affairs. SERVPRO of Columbia and Suwannee counties would like to share some tips for how to most efficiently use your time to get your home better cleaned and organized.

Form a plan of attack - Personally, I pick an area to work on rather then just stating "I need to sweep or mop". I choose the kitchen or bathroom and when that is completed I move on to the next area until I have completed the cleaning that I had planned.

One of the hardest tasks to undertake when spring cleaning is removing items that we may no longer need. Whether it be sentimental value or just a potential need for the item in the future, removing some items can be one of the toughest parts of spring cleaning.

Windows and walls are sometimes a forgotten area when cleaning.  Cleaning the window screens and also the blinds along with the windows can breathe new life into a room.

Replacing air filters for your central air system can be easily forgotten. If a filter stays in use for two long, it will become clogged and not properly filter the air in your home which can cause sickness. A recommendation for when to replace the air filters is about 3 months.
