Spring Cleaning for Your Home and on the Jobsite

It’s that time of year again—time for spring cleaning. Spring cleaning should be a team effort both at home and on the jobsite. There are plenty of ways to tackle this job in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner

Here are some spring cleaning tips for around the house

• Make it a family affair! Spend time sorting through your garage and/or house with your children, spouse or friends. Work with them to come up with creative ways to store or rearrange things.

• Have stuff to get rid of? Put it in a pile. But before you pitch it, see if you can reuse or repurpose anything. Otherwise, consider donating.

• If you do end up throwing things out, be sure to recycle.

• Use reusable microfiber cloths or sponges rather than rolls of paper towels.

• Switch to natural cleaners such as baking soda, vinegar and vegetable-based ones. After you switch, dispose of old cleaning supplies properly. No flushing them, dumping them down the drain or pouring them on the ground.

• Now that it’s nice out, skip using the dryer. Hang your clothes out on the line.

A few tips for spring cleaning on the jobsite:

• Keep your work area clean. Spring winds and storms can blow debris around. Be sure to clean up all debris, both large and small.

• Make sure your construction site has all the necessary equipment. Don’t overlook the small stuff.

• Spring cleaning can mean more than just tidying up—take time to review policies and guidelines. Go over best practices in case of spills or other accidents.

Happy Cleaning!

   I think switching to natural type cleaners is a good idea. baking soda and vinegar should be easy to find ‘recipes’ for but I’ll have to dig a bit more for the vegetable based ones. Even the “citrus” type cleansers int he stores have so many added chemicals it’s crazy. Thanks.
