With Memorial day around the corner and the busy days of summer hot on it’s heals now is the perfect time to check spring cleaning off your to do list. We are blessed with a very short winter and the winter blues don’t really have enough time to settle in. The day after Valentine’s we start planning for Spring and spring cleaning is tradition in more places than the south.
Whether you are getting ready for the summer or getting ready to sell your home this checklist will take you beyond the regular cleaning routines. Spring cleaning is about going deeper.
Spring Cleaning Checklist
- De-clutter. It will make cleaning a lot easier. Use the natural flow of spring to let go and lighten up. Donate to charity or plan a garage sale.
- Clean ceilings, walls and baseboards, don’t forget the corners. Time to bring out all those attachments that came with your vacuum cleaner.
- This is also a good time to vacuum the air vents. If it’s been a few years you might want to have your air ducts cleaned by a professional, this can cut down on the overall dust in the home and help with allergies.
- Give attention to your other appliances, clean dryer vents, refrigerated coils, and disposal units.
- Use furniture markers to repair wood scratches or nicks.
- Wash or dry clean the drapes and curtains. Dust blinds and the window sills.
- Wash both the inside and outside of your windows and rinse off the screens.
The check list wouldn’t be complete without heading outside to clean the porches, decks, grills, gutters, and of course the landscaping. All before your Memorial Day cookout!
