Spring is officially in the air but if your home is still smelling of winter lockdown then it is the perfect time to start spring cleaning. We know the task itself can be daunting, you might be asking yourself where do I even get started? No worries, here at Getlocal we have some tips to get your home spring fresh and have products that can be found here in Ireland to help with the task.
Clean Your Doormats
Clean Your Doormats
Let’s start with the dust and dirt that can be tracked inside your home. We wouldn’t want to go through the task of mopping and vacuuming just to have all the dirt tracked back in, would we? You should always try to keep two doormats, one right outside the door and one directly inside. If these mats are looking a little worn out and not worth cleaning, we have a great selection of doormats that can be found nationally.
Wipe Down the Walls
Wipe Down the Walls
Before we can clean the floors we have to get the walls wiped down so that we don’t dirty up the floors once they are washed. We have eco-friendly cleaning options to help get those walls to look brand new again. On the other hand, if you are looking to change or touch up that paint colour we have paint options from your favourite local stores as well.
Time to Freshen up the Carpets
Time to Freshen up the Carpets
Now that we have worked on stopping the dirt from outside coming in and taking care of the walls, we can clean the carpet and hard flooring. A good hoover and shampooing are in store for the carpet. Plus a detailed sweep and mopping are in store for hard floors. Might we suggest a more spring-like rug to add to your space to freshen it up? After all, this is just the season for fresh, isn’t it?
Organize and Clear Clutter
Organize and Clear Clutter
Our homes can get cluttered fast after the holiday season and not to mention the lack of energy during the colder months to organize everything. You will first want to clear out anything you do not want or need to keep, like that one mitten whose mate has been lost for months or that jacket that has seen a little too many winters for its time. If it is something that just doesn’t fit or something you do not have a use for anymore think about donating it so that other people can get some use out of it before disposal. Now that you have rounded up what you will be keeping for next fall and winter, let us help by offering you a selection of organizers that can help you get all of that up and out of the way during the warmer months.
Get the Kitchen Spring Fresh

Don’t be scared of the kitchen, tackle it like you should every room, from top to bottom. Cleaning light fixtures, decluttering countertops, removing old appliances, de-stinking the sink, clearing out the fridge, and cleaning the oven can all be accomplished when working this way. We have some great kitchen appliances that can help with replacing old ones that just aren’t cutting it anymore that can be found in businesses across Ireland. Quick tip on de-stinking your sink, lemons! Lemon juice and hot water from the kettle will have your sink smelling fresh in no time and is safe for the environment and your home.
Freshen up the Bathroom
Freshen up the Bathroom
A deep clean is in store for the bathrooms in your home from top to bottom just like the kitchen. Here are some grand bathroom cleaning products to help with the task of scrubbing the toilet, bathtub, and sink area. If your bathroom rug, toothbrush holders, or towel rails are looking a little too worn from use, we also have a few bathroom accessories you can look at to freshen up that space in no time.
Cleaning Windows
Cleaning Windows
Cleaning windows outside and inside, dusting the blinds, and washing the curtains are all important parts of spring cleaning. The windows are the eyes of your home and they need to be dust-free to let the sunshine in. If your blinds and curtains are in tip-top shape to be cleaned then no worries here are some cleaners to help with that. If you are in the market for a more spring-like decor, check out our local selection of blinds and curtains.
