Spring Cleaning Checklist
Spring is in the air (at least here in North Central Texas).
The sky is blue, the days are warm, the birds are singing and . . .
. . . that means it’s time to do some spring cleaning spruce up!
Below is a checklist of some spring cleaning items you may want to put on your “to do” list this month.
- Wipe Walls & Ceilings Use a vacuum cleaning wand to reach high places. A Swiffer duster with an extendable/adjustable wand is also useful. Clean out those cobwebs and get rid of dirt & finger prints!
- Vacuum & Shampoo Carpets & Rugs Vacuum carpets & rugs. Synthetic carpets & rugs (with rubber backing) can be deep-cleaned with a rotary shampoo machine and hot-water extraction. Rugs without a rubber backing will need a professional cleaning crew.
- Dust Get rid of all those dust bunnies! Move furniture, pick up items and dust beneath and behind. Don’t forget ceiling fan blades, window casings & base boards.
- Clean Windows & Curtains/Blinds Clean both inside & outsides of windows. Take down draperies & curtains. Wash those that are machine washable/dryable. Dry-clean fabrics (except silk) can be wiped down with a damp cloth (water only). Wipe wooden blinds with a damp cloth.
- Wash Window Screen Use warm water, mild soap and scrub with a brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
- Polish Wooden Furniture Dust surface first then polish with your favorite furniture polish. Finish by wiping with a dry soft cloth to remove excess.
While there are more “deep cleaning” chores that could be done, I believe this list will give you a fresh, clean home to enjoy throughout the rest of the spring and summer.
Keep Sparkling!
