Here in sunny Palm Beach County the last thing anyone really wants to do is tackle spring cleaning. This springtime spruce up is a tradition that allows us to freshen up our homes and get a head start on the often-hectic seasons of spring and summer. Spring-cleaning time is a way to refresh. It is suggested that cleaning the house, room by room, is the most effective way to deep clean it. Create cleaning checklists for each room to help you get organized and to remind you of the areas that need extra attention.

Here are ten spring cleaning ideas if you are at a loss for where to start:

  1. Move furniture to vacuum and mop underneath. Pro tip: bribe a housemate to help you so your back is not sore the next morning.
  2. Vacuum couches, chairs, and curtains. This one is especially for all you pet owners.
  3. Dust in all the places you normally overlook like shelves, the ceiling fan, lampshades, etc. A Swiffer duster makes this easier because it traps and locks dust rather than spreading it around the room.
  4. Rotate your mattress. It will extend the life of your mattress and help your back.
  5. Shampoo any rugs or carpets. A big undertaking, but well worth it.
  6. Clean your oven. Most ovens have a cleaning cycle, so this step is mostly hands-off.
  7. Clean and descale your coffee maker. Your taste buds will appreciate the extra effort.
  8. Clean out your fridge and freezer. Now’s the time to throw away the freezer-burned frozen fruit you bought a year ago when you decided to be healthy, but never used. Once you have gotten rid of all expired food, make sure to wipe down all the shelves with soapy water.
  9. Organize cabinets and drawers. Take the time to sort through all your makeup and meds and throw away anything that is expired.
  10. Disinfect doorknobs and light switches. COVID-19 clean!
