Spring Cleaning Checklist for Your House

Spring is almost here and it's time for you to get prepared for some serious cleaning! Some areas in your home may have been neglected throughout the year or maybe you forgot to clean some essential areas. This Spring cleaning checklist should help make your cleaning a little easier. Spending a little time on your home in Spring also gives you the opportunity to move furniture around to give your home a new look. You can also let your family members choose what chores they want to do. It makes it fun for them and helps out a lot. Spring cleaning not only includes cleaning, it includes organizing and getting rid of things that have created major clutter. I cannot tell you what to keep or throw out, but I can at least give you a list of things that should make your cleaning a little easier and less expensive.

Now it is time to prepare for those pesky chores that were ignored or you did not even think about. Place all cleaning chemicals, paper towels, duster and rags that are needed into a small bucket or carrier. This makes it easier to transport them from room to room and saves time. There is nothing more annoying and frustrating than having to keep going back and forth between rooms for cleaners.

The first thing you need to consider is starting from the top of your house. You wouldn't want to dust your television or furniture and then get dust on them again from ceiling fans or fixtures. Start from the top and work your way down.

Spring-cleaning Checklist:

Remove any cobwebs on the ceilings, corners and walls with a broom.

Dust everything, including all ceiling fans, light fixtures, plant shelves, mini blinds, verticals, televisions, furniture, window sills, air conditioning vents, picture frames, etcetera. I suggest a duster that is not made of feathers.

Remove curtains for hand washing or wash on a delicate cycle.
