With a few easy spring cleaning steps, any kitchen can feel transformed into a calm, tidy space, ready to welcome the spring sun.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Start by decluttering<\/h3>\n

Now it\u2019s spring, everything must have a home! Remove all the \u2018loose\u2019 items from the surfaces and put them away. Clutter is a form from visual stress and the less clutter is around the more pleasant it is for the eye. And, whilst you\u2019re at it, do the stress test: do I really need it? Is it \u2018sparking joy\u2019? If not, it\u2019s time to go. Find out more about the \u2018less is more\u2019 lifestyle and useful tips in this blog article.<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2: Check the expiry dates<\/h3>\n

Next on the spring cleaning list, open the cupboards and check the best before end dates. Run a hard cull on anything out of date \u2014 and anything near the end of its shelf life, bring to the front.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Time for deep cleaning<\/h3>\n

Think all surfaces, floor space, shelves, door handles, light switches, window sills \u2014 the whole lot! Empty cupboards of dishes, pots and pans, and don’t forget your gadgets drawers. Sweeping away the dust and getting rid of old spills and stains will be transformative to the space. Let in the fresh air to help breathe some life into the room.<\/p>\n

Many people also use this time as an opportunity to wash curtains or wipe down blinds too, as these are infamous dirt traps. Just be sure to tackle this job before embarking on your sweep-up, as you\u2019ll inevitably spread more dust around first.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Don\u2019t forget the appliances<\/h3>\n

A good spring cleaning session doesn\u2019t only involve dusting and wiping all visible surfaces, but also a thorough cleanse of the not-so-visible ones such as behind the refrigerator. This might be also a great opportunity to whip the fridge interior into shape. A simple step-by-step how-to can be found here<\/a>. Next, take care of your microwave, oven and dishwasher. Scrub away all dried up food and grease.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Relax<\/h3>\n

After all that spring cleaning, put the kettle on and settle down. If you have an extra 10 minutes, blitz these Bliss Balls<\/a> up \u2013 a delicious treat and well-deserved after all that hard work, if you ask us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
