Spring Cleaning and Home Organization Supplies

All of us are happier in our space when it’s clean and organized.

Over the years, we’ve shared lots of easy DIY projects that you can use to improve your home. Among them: making spring cleaning and home organization a priority, so that every room in your home is a room that you enjoy spending time in.

Our best spring cleaning tips can be used all year round to keep your home looking and feeling its best. These include:

Spring Cleaning and Home Organization Supplies

Getting organized – Invest in home organization systems that ensure everything has a proper place—and that things are easy to find when you need them.

Clear out the kitchen – The kitchen is the heart of the home, which makes it all the more important for you to keep clutter out of it. While you’re at it, look for other kitchen upgrades that can further optimize the space for your needs, or consider a small kitchen makeover that will ensure you get the most out of the space.

Clean and refresh – Having the right cleaning supplies on hand is key, as is adopting the right cleaning techniques. During spring cleaning, take the time to wash surfaces that usually get left alone during routine cleanings (including drapes, blinds, and light fixtures), and sanitize as you go so that you’re starting with a completely blank slate.

How to Choose the Right Indoor Air Purifier 

There are so many good reasons to use an indoor air purifier, including a reduced risk of airborne illnesses, relief from asthma and allergy symptoms, fewer unwanted odors, and improved sleep—just to name a few.

When you’re looking for the most effective air cleaning products, consider both the purifier itself as well as the air filter. There are various types of air filters to choose from, including HEPA filters, pleated filters, and fiberglass filters. Some tips for selecting the best filter for your home include:

  • Considering what your individual needs are, including any specific health needs of your family members
  • Considering how often you want to replace the filter
  • Considering how much you want to spend on the filter

All of these considerations will play into deciding which air filter is the right choice, keeping in mind that the more protection you need, the higher the MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) you’ll want in your filter.

Other products involved in providing your home with the cleanest, safest, and highest quality include your humidifier and your HVAC system and associated HVAC parts.

How to Choose the Best Fire Safety Products

There are two big components to fire safety at home: smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Carbon monoxide detectors also play a big role in keeping your family safe, with a wide option of multi-purpose smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and smoke, CO, and gas alarms available.

You probably already know why smoke detectors are so important. But do you know that in 2016, half of all home-fire deaths occurred between the hours of 11pm and 7am, when most families are sleeping, or that 60% of deaths from home fires occur in homes without a working smoke alarm?

Depending on where you live, you may be required to have 10-year smoke alarms in place (currently 14 states and five cities have this requirement). And even if you don’t, it’s crucial that you understand different smoke detector types and how to prevent fires in your home.


When choosing a smoke alarm, think about the size of your home, the specifics of your environment, and how you want your alarm to be powered. You should do the same when it comes to fire extinguishers, as well as look into the option of receiving a fire inspection tag.
