Spring Cleaning ChecklistSpring Cleaning Checklist

OUTSIDE HOUSE:

  • Wash windows inside and out. Wipe down the sills.
  • Wash out trash cans and disinfect them.
  • Sweep porch and deck, as well as around doors and windows to get rid of cobwebs and debris.
  • Wash outdoor furniture- you can use mild dishwashing detergent.

ROOMS:

  • Dust home thoroughly, make sure to take everything off shelves, tabletops, and dressers.  Get in all the nooks and crannies you don’t get through regular cleaning. Get ceiling fans, bookcases, baseboards, and doorways, behind doors.
  • Clean curtains and drapes by running them through the air-fluff cycle in the dryer with a damp towel (gets the dust off) for about 15 minutes.  Put back up as soon as you take out of the dryer.  
  • Wipe blinds down with damp cloth
  • Clean upholstered furniture, make sure to vacuum the pillows too. If there are stains, clean according to the care label.
  • Move furniture away from walls and clean underneath with vacuum. Very good time to move the rooms around.  New look and clean all at the same time. 
  • Have your carpets professionally cleaned and wax wooden floors.
  • Turn over all mattresses in bedrooms.  Vacuum mattress on both side then flip it over.  Do this at least 4x a year.
  • Clean all bedding and pillows. Air out blankets before putting on the bed. Then store winter bedding away.
  • Switch out cool-weather clothing for warm-weather clothes. Be sure to wash or dry-clean winter clothing before storing. Spring In- Winter Out! 

KITCHEN:

  • Clean inside the refrigerator.  Wipe down everything.  Pull everything out, throw away items that are expired or no longer will eat.  The best cleaner is a combination of abrasive salt and bubbly soda water. 
  • Clean all the chrome, glass and stainless steel appliances.  Best cleaner is a spray bottle with a mixture of 50 percent rubbing alcohol and 50 percent water.
  • Top of stove: use a toothbrush to remove food from around the burners, knobs, and dials. 
  • Clean inside oven- set your oven to self-clean. 
  • Pantry/Cupboard: reorganize pantry, and throw out any expired foods.
  • Wipe down all cabinets and drawers (inside and out) 

BATHROOM:

  • Clean walls- Spray a generous amount of bathroom spray or pine cleaner to the shower and bathroom walls. Let stand while cleaning another part of the house.  Come back and wipe down everything. 
  • Change out toothbrushes and clean holder and any other dishes in bathroom
  • Mirror- wipe down 
  • Drawers- clean out and throw away items that are expired or don’t use.

CLEANING TOOLS:

e-cloth®- Chemical Free Cleaning

Take a walk down the cleaning aisle, and there’s no doubt that fragrance is a major player in the cleaning product industry. These added aromas may encourage us to get our house smelling clean, but could be harming our health! Fragrances added to many cleaners can cause acute effects such as respiratory irritation, headache, sneezing, watery eyes, allergies, and asthma.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found that one-third of the substances used in fragrances are toxic and can even cause Cancer!
