How to Do a Proper Spring Cleaning Checklist for The Inside of Your House

Once a year it is good to start fresh with the house both inside and out after spending the last several months stuck inside for the winter. Creating and working off a spring cleaning checklist can help you make sure you cover all of the areas you need to when the sun finally comes out and let's you enjoy the outside world once again.

Instructions

1. Even though you have spent the winter inside, spring cleaning starts here. You need to open up the windows and work the dust out of the house. Start in the kitchen with a wall mop and a duster and work each shelf, counter space, window pane and corner you can find. Move room to room and get the dust out of the house and let the fresh air come in.

2. One thing you will use now that you might not have used it a while are your ceiling fans. Be sure to clean off your ceiling fans as step two if your spring cleaning checklist to be sure when they turn on, dust is not spread everywhere in your home.

3. You will find yourself looking outside your windows more now that it is spring and you will find your blinds and curtains pulled back on a normal basis. Be sure to go room to room and clean your windows and window sills as part of your spring cleaning checklist. In the winter these may go forgotten as they are out of sight, but not in the summer.

4. The next part of your spring cleaning checklist is to change around your winter clothes for your summer clothes. Use a container and take out of your closet and drawers all of your winter clothing that you will not wear in the summer and put them away in a closet or your attic. Swap them out with your shorts and tee shirts for the hot days ahead.

5. With the temperatures swinging back to warm you will want to check out your heater and turn on your air conditioning. This means changing out filters and have a yearly maintenance check done on it to be sure it is in good working condition.

6. The last thing on the list is to try and get rid of clutter everywhere possible. This means bringing house plants outside if you can, throwing out any boxes stored up, cleaning out closets of items stored away during winter but not needed anymore. Less is best when it comes to keeping your house clean for the summer.

Tips & Warnings

• Getting the inside of your house ready for the spring is a lot of work as you have months of winter build up to fight off. Preparing a good spring cleaning checklist to help you remember what to cover will help ensure when the summer arrives your house is clean and ready for you to spend your days outside in the sun.
