It’s that time of year… spring is right around the corner which means that we must prepare for the spring cleaning. But since cleaning can be overwhelming – especially when you need to focus on areas you have been neglected for the past year, I like to make a list with every item I need to deep clean.
And I will share that list with you so that this years’ spring cleaning can be easier for all of us!
My Fridge
The first chore I will perform will be cleaning my fridge. If I have to be honest I am not a fan of this chore because I have to empty it and then put back everything once I am done cleaning but it’s important for my health.
Drawers/ Cupboards
Another chore I hate but must do this spring has to be cleaning the interior of all drawers and cupboards in my home. But because I want to achieve as much as possible at once I will organize everything and put back only what I use – everything else will be thrown away so that I can make space for new things.
My Trash Can
Very rarely do I clean my trash can, however, it’s such an important chore that needs to be done this spring.
My Curtains
The next item on my list that needs to be deep cleaned is my curtains. We all know that they absorb a lot of dirt, dust, and all sorts of impurities which is why cleaning them is a crucial step – especially if you have allergies like me.
Under Furniture
Let me give you an example – the space under my bed is extremely dirty because I rarely find the time to vacuum clean it. This is why I put this on my spring cleaning list – because it’s a chore that I have been postponing for a few months and it’s about time I finally perform.
Carpets
All carpets and rugs need to be professionally cleaned at least once a year – and spring is the perfect time to do it. All that accumulated dirt, dust, and even stains and dirty patches need to be removed!
My Dog’s Bed
This is something I clean once every few months – it’s important for my dog’s health as well as mine. But since I am going to deep clean my entire home I decided that I should wash my pets’ bed as well.
Pillows
Yes, pillows – not just the sheets! I throw my pillows in the washing machine twice a year.
All Appliances
Yes, I will deep clean every single appliance in my home – from the oven, microwave, coffee maker to my dishwasher and washing machine! Everything will be covered!
If you are wondering how can you clean your washing machine – I have a trick for you. Pour vinegar where you normally place the laundry detergent then run a hot empty cycle. This will disinfect the appliance and will deep clean it without you having to scrub, wipe, or waste time!
