Now that the weather is getting nice(er), here in Michigan, I’m excited to begin spring cleaning.
Since being a mom who works outside the home means I don’t have much time to do so, I came up with this list of things I (and maybe you too) can do, to jump-start the process.
In addition to the cleaning (I hope) you’re doing on the regular…
Bedroom
- Have rugs cleaned.
- Have pillows cleaned.
- Flip and rotate mattresses.
- Dust down the ceiling and corners.
- Wash mattress pads and bed skirts.
- Get blankets and comforters cleaned.
Bathroom
- Dust down the ceiling and corners.
- Replace worn bath mats, shower curtains/liners.
- Clean out medicine cabinets and safely discard any outdated products.
Kitchen
- Dust down the ceiling and corners.
- Clean the refrigerator and freezer.
- Wipe them out.
- Get rid of expired items.
- Clear out your pantry, cabinets and drawers.
- Wipe them out and install fresh shelf paper.
- Get rid of expired items, as well as items you don’t use.
- Store or donate any small appliances or cookware that you don’t use.
Since this is a ‘quick and dirty’ list, I wanted to include a few resources you can use, to organize and execute your deep spring cleaning:
