According to the traditional schedule for Chinese New Year preparations, the house cleaning should be done on the 24<sup>th<\/sup> day of the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Lunar month, which happens to be 18th January 2020 this year.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve prepared 3 tips to help tackle your Spring Cleaning more efficiently in a short time period.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Focus on the furnishing, appliances and carpets<\/h2>\n<p>Chinese New Year is the best opportunity to declutter and organise all the items. Start your spring cleaning routine this year by throwing away those items which you have not used for the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decluttered, focus on items which are more visible such as your doorway carpet, floor areas and big fixtures like your ceiling fans. Start shaking and washing your carpet to keep them clean so that they can trap all the dirt from your visitor\u2019s shoes before entering your home. After which, vacuum areas under the furniture. Remember to also remove the dust on your ceiling fans and light fixtures with a cloth or a vacuum with a soft nozzle attachment.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Engage a helper to aid you in your Chinese New Year Spring Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re really lack of time or too tired to clean up your home after a long day at work, consider engaging an external help to aid you through the cleaning process! Try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotoby.com\/en\/ds\/home-cleaning?utm_source=nav-bar&amp;utm_medium=landing&amp;utm_campaign=web-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toby<\/a>, a website that connects you to a part time professional home\/ office cleaning helper! They also offer extra services like pest control and even move in cleaning for those who are moving into a new home during this period.

Short Term Self-Storage Solution<\/h2>\n<p>Planning to host a reunion this Lunar New Year but lack of space to accommodate all your guests? Don\u2019t fret, you can always free up some space in your home with self-storage providers like Extra Space Asia that offers both short-term and long-term self-storage solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Choose to store from as short as 14 days to as long as you need.

And when it\u2019s time to retrieve them, you can always scale down your storage space to a smaller unit anytime!<\/p>\n<p>One key benefit of using a self-storage unit is you can enjoy round-the-clock access to your personal items! That means if you need something urgently during the festive period, you can always visit your storage unit to retrieve them.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Chinese New Year just around the corner, most households would be busy cleaning up their home and sweeping away the bad luck to usher in all the good luck!
