Spring Cleaning Checklist: What to Tackle First!
Spring is finally here, and many of us are feeling the urge to clean. But where do you start? With this list for your house cleaning checklist, we’ll help you get organized before tackling a deep cleaning of your home.
Clean windows and mirrors.
Window cleaning is an important part of keeping your home looking its best. Not only does it make your home more pleasant to look at, but it can also help improve your air quality.
There are a few different ways to clean your windows: you can use a traditional window cleaner, vinegar and water, or a homemade recipe of soap and water.
Whichever method you choose, make sure to clean both the inside and outside of your windows for a thorough job.
Dust furniture and surfaces.
Dust is a natural component of the air, and it can accumulate on furniture and other surfaces over time. Not only is it unsightly, but it can also be a health hazard.
To dust furniture and surfaces, start by vacuuming them thoroughly. Then use a damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces. For tougher dirt and dust, you can use a cleaning agent or a paste made of baking soda and water.
Vacuum carpets and rugs.
Carpets and rugs can accumulate a lot of dirt and dust over time, which can be dangerous for your health. To vacuum them properly, start by vacuuming them thoroughly to remove all the dirt and dust. Then use the attachment on your vacuum cleaner to go over the carpets and rugs again. This will help remove any remaining dirt or dust and will help keep your carpets and rugs looking clean.
Wipe down all surfaces.
Wiping down all surfaces in your house is an important part of keeping it clean. To do this, start by vacuuming all the surfaces thoroughly to remove any dirt or dust. Then use a damp cloth to wipe them down. For tougher dirt and dust, you can use a cleaning agent or a paste made of baking soda and water.
Don’t forget to wipe down any surfaces that get a lot of use, such as countertops, doorknobs, light switches, and toilets. These areas can accumulate a lot of dirt and bacteria over time, so it’s important to clean them regularly.
Polish silverware and knick-knacks.
Polishing your silverware and knick-knacks is a great way to keep them looking clean and shiny. To do this, start by polishing the silverware with a polishing cloth. For tough dirt or tarnish, you can use a cleaning agent or a paste made of baking soda and water.
Then polish the knick-knacks with a polishing cloth. For tougher dirt or tarnish, you can use a cleaning agent or a paste made of baking soda and water.
Don’t forget to polish any other metal surfaces in your house, such as doorknobs, light fixtures, and hardware.
Empty the refrigerator and pantry.
Emptying the refrigerator and pantry is an important part of spring cleaning. Not only does it get rid of all the expired food, but it also cleans out the cabinets and fridge.
To empty the refrigerator and pantry, start by taking everything out of the cabinets and fridge. Then sort through the food and discard anything that is expired or that you no longer want.
Next, wipe down all the shelves and surfaces with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt and dust, you can use a cleaning agent or a paste made of baking soda and water.
Finally, put everything back in the fridge and pantry. Be sure to organize the food so that it is easy to find what you need.
Sweep and mop floors.
Sweeping and mopping the floors in your home is an important part of keeping them clean. To sweep the floors, start by using a broom to move all the dirt and debris into one spot. Then use a dustpan to scoop up the dirt and debris and discard it in the trash.
To mop the floors, start by wetting the mop with water. Then dip it into the cleaning solution of your choice. (You can use a commercial cleaning solution or make your own by mixing vinegar and water.)
Mop the floors in a circular motion, making sure to get all the areas of the floor. For tough dirt or stains, you can use a scrub brush. Dry the floors with a towel or a floor mat.
