Households should do one simple task to keep homes 'feeling cleaner'. Spring is a good time to clean as lighter days show more dust and dirt.

Many of us will have family and friends over for Easter and half term, but it's hard to keep the home clean.

Cleaning expert Lynsey Crombie shared an easy task to make cleaning quicker. She says it's one of the 'simplest' and 'most effective' ways to make a home feel cleaner.

Her tip is to open the windows of your home. Lynsey said: 'One of the simplest cleaning tips is just opening your windows.'

Lynsey says you should open your windows to make your home cleaner.

Fresh air lifts your home, removes stale smells, reduces moisture, and makes everything feel cleaner in seconds — no products needed.

Lynsey shared her tip on social media, and many followers shared how they've followed her advice.

One follower said: 'I'm happy now that it's mild enough to open windows! My kids have been playing in the garden and leaving the back door open.'

Others commented: 'I love fresh air through the house.' 'Love opening windows, it's free and allows fresh air in and negativity out.' 'You can't beat it.'

Opening windows helps homes stay clean and fresh, and battles condensation. Window condensation is common in winter, but can still happen on chilly spring mornings.

Condensation occurs due to the temperature difference between your home and outside air. It can also build up in hot bathrooms and kitchens.

A cleaning expert said: 'I see lots of homes struggling with condensation. Ventilation is the only way to get rid of it.'

She added: 'Open your window for 15 minutes every morning. It works wonders for putting an end to window condensation and mould.'

It's recommended to open windows after rain, showers, or cooking to circulate air and release moisture.
