Spring Cleaning Checklist!

Be prepared for when Spring actually decides to make her appearance!

SPRING CLEANING LIST:

wipe down kitchen and bathroom cabinets

wipe down light switch plates

wipe down doors with a slightly damp white cloth

wipe down door knobs

wipe furniture down with a damp cloth

clean the interior of refrigerator and freezer

wash duvet covers

wash, dry clean or fluff curtains – ours tend to collect dust and the occasional fingerprints, it’s amazing how fresh curtains can make your home feel fresh. If you don’t want to wash them, a few minutes in the dryer will help as well

wash throws and pillow covers that you’re not updating for spring

clean your washing machine – I use washing machine cleaner {affiliate link} that you just drop in and run a cycle, wipe the doors down with glass cleaner inside and out and wipe down the front of the washer as well

walls – try a white cloth or sponge and a very minimal amount of water first, but if needed use a drop or two of clear dishwashing liquid. This can leave behind a slight sheen, so first weigh which would look better, clean walls or marks where you have wiped them down. On our stairs I do it from wall to wall so no sheen is noticeable.

trim – otherwise know as the dust collector! When possible, use a duster or dry mop. Then use a damp white cloth where needed.
