Are you ready to do your deep cleaning for the spring time? Getting rid of all of the old stuff and cleaning all of the overlooked parts of your home can be a great feeling, especially if it has been a year since you have cleaned these areas. Once you are ready to do a spring clean in your home, going through the rooms and the areas of your home and checking out places that need the most attention is important.
Wipe Down Baseboards and Dust Corners
Often overlooked, your baseboards spend every day collecting dirt from foot traffic and dust. This is why it is important to go through your home during your spring cleaning and clean them thoroughly. Once they are cleaned, family and friends will notice the difference. You may also want to dust the corners for cob webs to make the cleanliness of your rooms stand out.
Clean Shelves and Cabinets
After cleaning out your cabinets and shelves, taking a cloth to wipe the inside of them down will bring a fresher and cleaner feeling to them. Letting them air out before placing your items back in the closets and cabinets will also give your storage areas the cleanliness it deserves as well as the confidence in knowing that your closets and cabinets aren’t becoming filled with dust and dirt. Disinfecting the doorknobs and handles will also keep down the worry of germs spreading.
Clean Your Windowsills
While your clean windows are nice to have, making sure your windowsills are clean, is just as important. All year long, your windowsills collect dust, dirt, and dead bugs and is often overlooked and forgotten about. But once you start your spring cleaning, cleaning your windowsills will give your home the nice clean feeling you love without the worry of dust being in the air.
Dust Your Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures
Don’t forget to dust your ceiling fans and light fixtures. There is nothing worse than having dust fly around when the fan is on. A clean fan not only makes it look good but also gives your room a fresh feeling when the fan is on and off. Light fixtures are another important part of the home that must be cleaned. If the lighting in your home has become dim, then it is time to clean your light fixtures. Once you have cleaned them, you will find a restored fresh feeling.
While tackling the task of doing a deep clean may be a challenge, the reward of having a clean and fresh smelling home is worth it. For a better and safer spring cleaning process, checking the batteries in your smoke detectors will help with keeping your home safe and free of worry. Now go spring clean your home to freshness!
