Spring is here, which means it’s time for that annual spring cleaning! Here’s a checklist on how you can clean your house and throw away your junk in the most effective way.
How To Spring Clean Your Bedroom
Desk – go through all the drawers and cabinets in your desk, nightstand and TV stand and remove any unnecessary clutter
Curtains – carefully remove and wash them. Even if they appear to be clean, they still collect a lot of dust. Scrubbing might be necessary for some stains.
Cobwebs – gross, but definitely a must to remove them from the corners of your ceiling, under your bed, behind furniture, and other similar places.
Fans – by using a ladder, climb up to get a better view and wipe away all dust on cieling fan blades.
Master bathroom – using a spray bottle filled with vinegar and water, spray and scrub out water stains and soap scum. Clean hard-to-reach spots with an old toothbrush.
Medicine cabinet – wipe the inside down, and make sure to throw out any medicines that have expired or are no longer in need.
How To Spring Clean Your Closet
Get rid of old clothes – search for clothes that are torn, stained, or which no longer fit. You can repurpose them as kitchen or bathroom rags, or you can donate them.
Drawers – Wipe the inside or replace the underlayment in your drawers if you have one.
Organize your clothes by category – shirts, pants, sweaters, jackets, accessories, shoes etc. If you have a large closet, you can consider organizing each category by colour, style, season and more!
How To Spring Clean Your Kitchen
Shelves & Cabinets – Wipe down your shelves and cabinets. Make sure to dust above, below, and between the hinges.
Old Food – throw out any food that’s expired. If anything’s starting to look bad or approaching expiration, make a note to use it up quickly.
Floors – if you have a tiled floor, give the grout between each tile a good scrub.
Stove – clean the stove, checking for dirt or food crumbs that can cause the burners to clog.
Oven/Microwave – use the self-cleaning feature on your oven and then clean out the debris. If you do not have this feature, then remove the racks, soak them, scrub them and finally grease them.
How To Spring Clean Your Garage
Mold & Pest Damage – remove everything in the garage and air it all out. Deep-clean the space, checking for mold and pest damage and throw out any unrepairable item or unwanted waste.
Tools – wash your tools (especially outdoor gardening tools).
Reorganize – put everything that’s not junk back inside, in a neat and organized manner.
