Spring cleaning:
Rugs get steam cleaned- chairs, tables,etc. moved to clean under them
All other floors get steamed cleaned with my handy-dandy Swifter steam cleaner
Scatter rugs, all curtains, shower curtains, Winter blankets (get put away) get machine washed
My Summer nightclothes, summer clothes, housedresses, along with my son's Summer clothes, get washed (I don't like "closet smell")
Walls are washed down (and all those spidery webs on the ceilings are vacuumed- where are those spiders anyway? I don't ever see them)
Every nick-knack gets washed, along with pictures, mirrors that are hanging on the wall
Books get dusted- and the shelves get washed and polish
All furniture gets polished- kitchen table and chairs gets washed down to the legs
Venetian blinds get washed in the tub- windows and their sills are washed also
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets get washed down (as do any other free- standing cabinets)
All electronic equipment get thoroughly cleaned (phones, TVs, computers, printers, gaming thingys)
Stove, exhaust hood, refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, and toaster oven get thoroughly cleaned
Overhead fans and standing fans get washed
Bathrooms are Cloraxed cleaned
All doors- inside and out- are washed down
Washer/dryer get washed- along with the washroom shelves
All light fixtures ( globes are taken down and washed- how do those bugs get in them?) are cleaned
My chest freezer gets defrosted (there's always some ice that accumulates along the top edges) and washed- inside and out
All old magazines are given to the post office (they have a little area where people drop off books and magazines for others to enjoy)
The outside shed gets cleaned out and reorganized (I get lazy in the Fall and just "throw" everything haphazardly back in the shed)
The siding gets washed of all algae (the back of the house is in shade most of the day)
The decks get swept and washed down ( the front deck needs some painting)- along with any lawn furniture/pillows
I don't think I've forgotten anything???
-------------
I might clean what needs to be cleaned at other times during the year, but randomly as needed.
I still have my bathroom cabinets and my bathroom walls to do, the siding, outdoor things to finish.
Wanna help? :floorlaugh: (my son helps a lot since I've aged).
A lot of work, but a nice feeling of accomplishment (and a very fresh, clean new start to the Summer).
I try to get the Spring cleaning done before the heat gets here- I like to clean when all the windows are opened- the heat makes me sluggish and very lazy.
