More Spring Cleaning Tips!

Sandi said-
Begin your spring cleaning with one room at a time. I usually do one room a day except the kitchen which usually takes two or three because of all the cupboards.
Start at the top of the room and work down.
Wipe the walls down to get cobwebs etc.
Wash the light fixtures and ceiling fans.
Any artificial plants or flower arrangements can be squirted off with a hose and left to air dry. Do not soak the base of flower arrangements.
Wipe off all pictures (front and back) and shelves on the walls. Take down the pictures and do the backs and the wall where it hung. As you go clean all knick-naks thoroughly.
Do your windows on the inside, (the outside can be done another day) and wash curtains or blinds. If you have simple curtains like cotton or lace they can usually be hung back up damp and it will help to take out any wrinkles. Your blinds or shades can usually be washed outside with a hose also. Let them air dry and re-hang.
Clean out all your cabinets and drawers. This is a great opportunity to throw away all unused items and any old medicines. In your kitchen get rid of outdated food and anything you don’t plan on using. After cleaning your shelves you can organize as you put things back.
Be sure to wash the outside of your cabinets also.
Take your beds completely apart and wash all mattress pads and pillow coverings. Wash any washable pillows. Turn your mattresses and clean under the beds and the wall behind. Either wash or take your bedspread to be cleaned.
Go through all your clothing and throw away any items that are worn out. This goes for underwear, shoes and seasonal clothing. Clothing that is not worn anymore can be given to charity.
All bathroom fixtures (toilet, shower and bath tub) should be cleaned more thoroughly than your normal cleaning. Sometimes it is necessary to remove the toilet seat to clean under the screws. Re-caulk the shower or bathtub and anywhere else it is needed.
Schedule someone to clean your carpets or do them yourself
Be sure to do baseboards and corners and underneath and behind the refrigerator, washer, dryer, and free standing stove. When you are behind your dryer clean the dryer vent hose.
Buying a few new items that are not too expensive always adds to spring cleaning. Get some new bath or kitchen towels or some throw rugs. Any little thing will make things feel new.
When you are finished you will feel tired and great!!!
