Your Spring Cleaning Checklist for 2022

 

Spring is finally in the air! And for many, it’s time to start their annual spring cleaning routine. This season is the perfect period to take advantage of the longer days and start feeling more rejuvenated and motivated every day. With a clean, bright space, this is possible! So, here are some ideas to add to your spring cleaning checklist this year and why they are beneficial.

 

Clean Your Windows

With warmer weather comes more sunshine, and you’re going to want to open up those blinds and let that light shine through your windows. But, before you can do that, you’ll need to give your windows a good clean. They probably haven’t been used for months now — trust us, they’ll need a little extra shine!

 

Make Time to Dust

Dust can build up in homes easily and often in spots we can’t always easily see. Try to take some time to dust now and then, which can help lessen any allergy or asthma symptoms. When cleaning, it’s recommended to start from the top (e.g., a high place like your ceiling fans) and then work your way down. It’s pointless dusting off your side table if the debris from your light fixture is just going to fall on it afterward.

 

Wash All Throw Pillows and Blankets

A blanket is winter’s best friend, but now that spring is here, you might as well make sure all your blankets and throw pillows are cleaned for the new season, especially if they were used a lot to keep you warm and comfortable on snowy nights!

Purge Your Closet

When was the last time you gave your closet a deep cleanse? You probably have items and clothes that are collecting dust and haven’t been used in years. Now is the time to go through all those objects and throw away or donate them. Otherwise, they’ll just sit in there until next spring.

Don’t Forget These Critical Places During Spring Cleaning

Now that Spring is almost here, it's time for spring cleaning! While this is usually the time when people do a big clean, it's easy to forget some areas. In order to do a full deep-cleaning of your house, you want to make sure you remember to clean these areas, as well as the other ones!

Tops of Cabinets and Appliances
You want to make sure you wash the tops of cabinets and appliances because they can easily collect dust and dirt. Leaving these can actually make your allergies flare up and keep germs trapped.

Fans and Lights
It's also really important to clean all your fans and lights. Having dirty and dusty fans can fling this debris into the room and let it stay in the air, which can get allergies riled up. As far as lights go, you want to make sure you get the debris off so they can stay bright. You also don't want to have guests look up and see a disgusting light.

Baseboards
Baseboards collect a lot of dirt and germs since they are all around the floors. Even if you vacuum and shampoo, that only gets the dirt up out of the carpets. Another issue is when you shampoo the scrubbing brushes can fling up dirt onto the baseboards. You want to make sure you wash these when you wash the walls so there isn't a huge color difference and so there isn't dirt left on either area.

Mattresses
Since your mattress collect things such as sweat, bacteria, and dead skin cells, you want to make sure you clean or flip your mattress. Not only will this help you sleep better because you won't have all of this going into your mouth and nose, but you have the chance of getting sick less because those germs won't still be circulating.

Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are another thing that is regularly forgotten with spring cleaning. Since they usually sit on couches and chairs, that means that multiple different people are leaning against them and you never know what they might have on them. Cleaning them will make them look better, as well as help keep everyone healthy.

Washer and Dryer
Throughout the year, your washer and dryer takes a lot of beating up. They can easily get dirt build up from the clothes so you want to make sure you wash and sanitize them. The last thing you want is to put a load of laundry in just to pull them out and see that they have dirt, grease, or other things from the washer or dryer stuck on them.

Trash Cans
Trash cans keep all your nasty and old trash so you want to make sure you clean these. Not only can this prevent mold from growing, but it can also make everything smell better.

Spring Crawl Space Cleaning Checklist

Now is the time of the year when homeowners everywhere are focused on spring cleaning. While we all know to clean the kitchen and bathroom, one place that many people forget about is their crawl space.

Homes that do not have a basement are generally built on a crawl space - an area of limited height underneath your floor. The main purpose of a crawl space is to promote air circulation throughout your home and grant easy access to plumbing and electrical components.

This area can get very wet and dirty, and keeping up with maintenance is important to prevent mold and the problems associated with it. Here is a crawl space cleaning checklist to help you out:

• Inspect your insulation. It should be dry, undamaged, and show no signs of deterioration. 
• Check for air leaks around the vents and windows. Use a caulking gun to seal any leaks you come across.
• Check for signs of mold along the floor, walls, insulation, and wood. Clean up all mold using a speciality mold killer.
• Check for cracks in the foundation wall and make note of the size. Return in a month to check on them. If they grew bigger, there is a serious problem.

If you run into any problems while cleaning your crawl space, or you simply don’t want to do it, give a call to the experts at GreenPro Cleaning & Restoration.
