Spring Cleaning Checklist

Are you looking for ways to give your home an excellent seasonal makeover? Spring cleaning is the perfect way to get into the new season's spirit and prepare yourself for more days spent in the comfort of your home. It can also help keep common allergens at bay, like dust mites and pet dander. To help you create your spring cleaning checklist, here are some tips to get started.

Clean Out the Closets: This is one of the most daunting tasks with spring cleaning, but it's essential if you want your storage areas to be orderly and squeaky clean. Start with smaller spaces first and focus on closets last.

Dust off Surfaces: When cleaning out dusty shelves or cabinets, start with a cloth lightly dampened with water. Afterward, go over them with dry microfiber cloths to pick up any extra dirt or debris. Remember ceilings and blinds!

Wash Windows & Mirrors: Use non-streaking glass cleaners to wash these surfaces thoroughly. Make sure to keep a grocery bag handy for paper towels that don't come off clean from glass surfaces; you need those as well as rags and buckets for basic window cleaning supplies.

Sanitize Floors: Spring cleanings would only be complete with adequately sanitizing hard floors such as tiles, wood floors, linoleum, and even laminates. Using a steam cleaner may help in deep-cleaning carpets but be careful not to over-wet the carpet fibres. Deep vacuum all types of floor coverings along baseboards when finished too!

Clean Behind Appliances: Get behind washers, dryers, refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers to remove dirt buildup accumulated throughout the winter season. You might also want to remove drawers/ trays from ovens/ fridges for thorough cleansing using abrasive scrubbing pads (non-steel) covered sponges combined with mild detergents like liquid soap/ baking soda solution along grain structures facing outwardly towards faced pictures (on their bottom side).

Polish Furniture: Having polished furniture will make your daily cleaning routine more manageable, so buff up wooden table tops/ frames using wax coatings after lightly sweeping them down from grime buildups and returning them to their newly cleaned state, making rooms look brand new again. Wipe stainless steel kitchen furniture down using appropriate cleansers if applicable.

Vacuum Upholstery: Vacuuming different upholstery pieces helps release embedded dirt before washing or spot-treating fabric couch covers. Be sure to give your upholstery a strong vacuum before any fabric treatments. Doing so will help your furniture look rejuvenated.

If you follow this checklist diligently every year, it'll become second nature!
