Who else feels they may need a little help on how to survive spring cleaning this year, well let’s make a checklist and make it easy?

Why You Need a Spring Cleaning List

It is very important to set aside time each year to plan a deep cleaning of you home. We all feel better when our home is clean, and organized.

Spring cleaning will help you get rid of the accumulation of dust, and even mold or mildew.

We have pretty rough winters here in Pennyslvania so it is important that I make sure no water has come in and that me and my family stay healthy and happy.

I have created this spring cleaning list to help you get some ideas on how to refresh your home this spring.

Room by Room

When creating your checklist you want to start with cleaning tasks you will need to do for each room of the house.

So first what tasks will you need to apply to each room?

What Needs Done in Every Room

• Dusting fans and light fixtures
• Vacuum curtain/and or blinds
• Clean windows and window seals
• Clean and wipe down baseboards
• Ensure all smoke detectors are working and have batteries
• Clean all doorknobs, light switches, and cabinet pulls

Let’s take a closer look at what we can do in each individual room to get it ready for spring.

The kitchen gets most of your family traffic.

You share your meals and snacks in this space.

So it is very important to make sure you deep clean this space.

• Dust the top and wipe down the front of your cabinets

Bathrooms always need extra special attention, especially in my house full of boys.

Pay close attention to things you don’t do on a normal basis, and focus on those.

• Scrub and bleach your bathtub and your shower + toilets
