10 simple spring-cleaning tips

Take it one room at a time

One of the most common mistakes people make when spring-cleaning is moving randomly around the house, according to professional cleaners Merry Maids. One minute you're clearing out the cupboard under the sink - and the next, you're in the bedroom trying to stuff all your winter jumpers into a bin liner. The result? A great big, unsatisfying, exhausting mess! Instead, try to clean methodically from room to room: this will conserve your energy and ensure nothing gets missed out.
