How to tackle spring cleaning

🧽 7 tips to handle spring cleaning quickly, efficiently, and without unnecessary effort

Spring is here—and with it the urge for a proper spring clean. If endless washing, scrubbing and polishing already sounds daunting, here’s good news: cleaning can be quick, simple, and even pleasant. Just follow a few tried-and-tested tips—and, of course, keep the right helpers from DrogerieShop.cz close at hand.

1. Have a plan (and don’t be afraid of a checklist)

Before you start, think through what you want to get done. List the rooms and tasks—and go step by step. You’ll avoid chaos and won’t forget anything.

2. Cleaning in stages = less stress

You don’t have to clean your whole home in a single day. Split it over several days—bathroom one day, kitchen the next, then windows. You’ll find it less exhausting and the result will be just as good.

3. Start from the top down

The golden rule: ceilings and shelves first, floors last. That way you won’t have to mop twice.

4. Laundry basics: keep clothes clean, fresh and looking great for longer

Proper laundry care matters not only for hygiene but also for the lifespan of your favourite pieces. It only takes a few simple steps—here are the most important ones:

• Laundry essentials

  • Sort by colours and fabrics
    Wash whites, darks and colours separately. Delicates like silk or lace should be washed on their own, ideally in a mesh bag. Jeans and towels deserve their own cycle.

  •  Mind the wash temperature
    Most everyday garments wash well at 30–40 °C. Towels, bed linen or children’s clothes are best at 60 °C—if the fabric allows. Always follow the care labels.

  •  Use the right detergent

    • For coloured laundry: a colour-safe gel or powder

    • For white laundry: a detergent with bleach/brightener

    • For dark/black laundry: gels that help keep colours vivid

    • For sensitive skin: hypoallergenic detergents

Don’t overload the washing machine
An overfilled drum won’t wash effectively and it wears out the machine. Clothes need enough space to move.

• •  Fabric softener & fragrance
    Softener makes fibres feel softer and adds a pleasant scent. Use sparingly—especially for children’s and performance clothing, where it can affect absorbency or breathability.

5. Get the whole family involved

Cleaning doesn’t have to be your job alone. Divide tasks among household members and turn it into a team activity. The job gets done faster—and in a better mood.

6. Don’t forget the scent

After a clean-up, it’s great to give your home a pleasant fragrance. Try our air fresheners, scented candles or aroma diffusers to create that perfect spring atmosphere.

Let’s not forget that spring cleaning has deep roots in Czech and Slovak traditions. Before Easter, homes were always cleaned thoroughly—people believed a clean home brings fresh energy, health and happiness. Why not enjoy this refresh today as well? You don’t need to take a day off to get it all done. With our products and smart tips, you’ll breeze through spring cleaning—and maybe even enjoy it.
