Spring Cleaning Checklist

It’s that time of year again! The weather is getting warmer and it’s time to spring clean your home. Making the effort to deep clean your home comes with great rewards. From getting rid of dust and allergens that accumulate during the winter to starting fresh with a clean space. There’s also the benefit of feeling more relaxed in your own space and making your house feel like a cosy retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Let’s explore a few key items to add to your spring cleaning checklist.
Dusting and vacuuming
One of the most important tasks on your spring cleaning checklist is dusting and vacuuming. Dust accumulates over time and can cause allergies and respiratory problems. Vacuuming removes dirt, dust, and pet hair from carpets and floors.
Cleaning windows and mirrors
Don’t forget to clean your windows and mirrors! Glass surfaces can accumulate a lot of dirt and dust during the winter, which can be difficult to remove.

Using a glass cleaner and a soft cloth, start by spraying the glass cleaner on the surface and wiping it off with the cloth. Be sure to clean both the inside and outside of the windows and mirrors.
Washing walls and ceilings
It’s not every day that we consider washing walls and ceilings, but a spring clean would be incomplete without doing so. With the right tools and techniques, it can be done quickly and easily.

Use a ladder to reach high areas and remember to wear gloves to protect your hands from chemicals in the cleaner. Use a sponge or cloth to apply the cleaner, making sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies. Finally, you can rinse with water and dry completely.
Cleaning appliances
One of the most important appliances to clean while spring cleaning is the refrigerator. During winter, food particles and bacteria can accumulate and cause unpleasant odours.

To clean the fridge, start by removing all of the contents. Wipe down the inside of the fridge with a wet cloth and a mild detergent. Be sure to clean all of the shelves, compartments, and door seals. Rinse with water and dry completely.

Next, clean the outside of the fridge with a wet cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse with water and dry completely. Replace all of the contents in the fridge and enjoy your clean appliance! If you have time, then you can repeat the process with other appliances.
Cleaning furniture
There’s a good chance that you’ve spent many comfortable hours on the couch during winter or curled up in bed with a book. With the arrival of spring, it’s time to give your furniture a deep clean.

There are a few key things to remember when cleaning the furniture. For example, always test a small area first, use a gentle cleanser or soap, and be sure to rinse with water and dry completely. You can also run the vacuum across your mattress and couch.
Clearing out clutter
When clearing out clutter during spring cleaning, it’s important to be organised and methodical. Start by sorting through all of the items in one room and decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away.

With a little bit of effort, you can clear out the clutter and have a clean, organised home for the spring season!
