It\u2019s totally understandable. We\u2019ve all spent the last few months of winter tracking in snow and putting off hauling laundry to the laundromat as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>But now it\u2019s March. Sun is streaming through the windows again and highlighting all the dust you managed to ignore in favor of another Netflix binge. It&#8217;s the perfect time to\u00a0spring clean your apartment. Here\u2019s where to start.<\/p>\n<p><b>Get rid of the excess<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need to go full <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-origin-story-of-marie-kondos-decluttering-empire\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marie Kondo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but gather up the sweaters, boots, and jeans that you lived in all winter and determine if they\u2019ve seen better days. If you know in your heart you\u2019ve worn them so often you never want to see them again, let them go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then round up your coats and assess the situation. Any that have been worn to death and you can\u2019t repair should go. Take the rest to the dry cleaner and then marvel at how much closet space you just freed up.<\/p>\n<p><b>Clean your sofa<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your sofa probably got a lot of love these past few months and now it\u2019s time to erase all traces of a sedentary winter lifestyle. If your couch is from Ikea or has a slipcover, take that off and wash it. If not, go at it with a lint roller, a vacuum, and some <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.firsthomelovelife.com\/2014\/03\/homemade-upholstery-cleaner.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY fabric cleaner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If your couch is especially gross from roommates or kids, it might be worth it to rent a steamer right about now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve let the couch air out, toss any throw pillows in the washer or spot clean them if they\u2019re more delicate. Tip: Throw a few clean tennis balls in the dryer with your pillow inserts so they stay fluffy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Focus on your floors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have hardwood floors, it\u2019s not that practical to keep a vacuum handy for cleaning any rugs you might have. Storage is a precious commodity in most apartments. Every so often, though, you are going to want to clean them. This is one of those times. If you can\u2019t swipe a vacuum from your parent\u2019s or friend\u2019s house, Home Depot and Lowe\u2019s both rent carpet cleaners that work on high pile rugs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Small rugs can usually go in the economy size washer at the laundromat. However, if you have large woven rugs your best bet is to enlist a friend to help you take it outside and shake it out. After that do a little spot cleaning if necessary.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your place is mostly carpet, sprinkle <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diynatural.com\/baking-soda-carpet-cleaner-deodorizer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carpet refresher<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all over to get rid of any moldy odors caused by winter moisture and then vacuum it up. If you have access to a carpet steamer, use this <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/how-to-deep-clean-your-carpets-138567\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deep cleaning method<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Apartment Therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have any cleaning tips that you like to bust out each year, please share. Everyone and their sparkling clean apartments will thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, not trying to be rude, but your apartment is looking a little sad.
