Spring cleaning may be a lot of work, but all your efforts will be worth it once you are left with a home free of clutter and grime. Try not to view it as a chore, but as an opportunity to transform your home. It will be easy with the help of the checklist below, your gathered cleaning tools, and a handy storage rental unit.

Tasks to Handle During Spring Cleaning

1. Create Piles

Begin by sorting through all your belongings. Open every drawer, look through every cabinet, and sift through all your closets. Put items back that need to stay organized. For belongings you don’t need to keep on hand, create three piles: things to go into a storage rental unit, trash, and donations.

2. Organize Storage

storageOnce you’ve dealt with your trash and donation piles, you can target your storage. Put everything into organized boxes and mark them with what’s inside. Put belongings you need to access more often in the front of the unit so they’re easy to reach. You can do the same with everything that’s going into your closets at home: place them in bins and mark them. This way, you’ll know what you have at a glance. 

3. Clean the Walls

Grime accumulates on your walls; though you don’t notice the slow change over time, it does impact the look of your home. Your bathroom and kitchen walls can be particularly dirty. Begin by vacuuming them with the wand extension. Then, wipe them down with a soft cloth and all-purpose cleaner.

4. Target Windows

Your windows also need some attention. Wash all drapes and wipe down other treatments with a cloth and the appropriate cleaner for the material. Use a microfiber cloth to wash the window interiors and brushes to wash the exterior. Remove the screens and spray them down with a hose. Don’t forget to wipe down the inside tracks and windowsills to eliminate debris.

5. Deep Clean Kitchen Appliances

Spring cleaning is the time to empty out your appliances and deep clean them. This involves wiping down your refrigerators inside and out, defrosting your freezer, and sanitizing the ice dispenser. Degrease your oven, range top, and hood. Wipe down your microwave inside and out. Place a bowl filled with plain white vinegar on the top rack of your dishwasher and run a cycle on the hottest water setting.
