Should you have a cleaning schedule?
Before you begin the spring clean, the first problem you may face could be deciding what needs cleaning and in what order. We recommend creating a cleaning schedule. This way, you can prioritise what tasks need doing first, which ones will take the longest and how long your cleaning process will take.
You could print out an online cleaning schedule to leave on your fridge, or to carry around whilst working. Or if you want something you can continually edit, why not download a digital copy onto a smartphone or tablet? We'd recommend a tablet because they're bigger and easier to read, plus if you want to edit your schedule it makes it much easier to upgrade rather than struggling on a smaller smartphone screen. At Stock Must Go, we've got a great selection of tablets from top brands like Apple and Samsung. Have a look now!

Does music improve motivation?
Once you've finally got into the motion of Spring Cleaning and the cleanse is fully in swing, it can be hard to stick to it and feel motivation. That's why it's a great idea to play some background noise, like a TV, podcast or some music. We suggest purchasing a speaker so you can carry your music around with you, this way if you're tidying the kitchen cupboards, making the beds or even cleaning the shower, you can hear your music at all times! (Remember, some speakers are also waterproof, so this is great if you're trying to clean a shower or bath)
Again, we've got plenty of speakers on our website to check out. We offer smaller speakers that are easy to chuck into the corner when working on the go, plus bigger speakers that will sturdily fit in a space in your room. Have a look at our options now.
What is the correct order to clean a house?
Did you know that cleaning your home from top down makes your experience easier and ensures you don't have to double back on spots you've already cleaned? Grab a vacuum cleaner and an extension hose and begin by cleaning those ceilings and lights. After, moving down the walls and cupboards before finally ending with the sofas and floors. As you clean, the dust will slowly drop, meaning the higher sections you've already been through should remain spotless. With the correct cleaning products, this simple yet effective trick will save you time and energy in the long run!
What's the best way to remove pet hair?
If you have pets, you'll understand the frustration of muddy paws, wet furniture, toys and fur everywhere after you've just made the house spotless! And whilst they can't help but make a mess (and certainly look cute whilst doing it) it's still a massive pain. So if you're like the many, many others who are tired of constantly battling pet hair on furniture and carpets, this trick is for you!
Simply grab a cheap pair of rubber gloves and dampen them, then run your hand over your furniture and carpet and the pet hair will collect. You can dispose of the gloves when finished and considering most rubber gloves come in big multipacks, you don't have to keep re-purchasing.
What can you clean in a dishwasher?

Is microfiber good for cleaning?
Say goodbye to pesky dust with the magic of microfiber cloth! Whether dirt, grease or germs, these cloths trap and remove them all. Microfiber is good for cleaning due to its absorbency, which makes it perfect for use on any surface in your home. Why make cleaning a chore when you can make it a breeze with microfiber cloths?
What is the best way to arrange a refrigerator?
Spring cleaning doesn't only mean organising your home, it also includes your fridge! And we have some top tips for ensuring your fridge stays organised. The best thing to do is start by removing the packaging from multipacks of drinks and yoghurts, this'll instantly free up space. You could use roll-out refrigerator bins which are great for keeping everything in order. And if you're concerned about wasting food, after your weekly food shop put the new food to the back of the fridge and move the old food forwards so you can prioritise what food you choose.
