should get a good deep cleaning during your spring cleaning.

Areas not to miss

Clutter – Now is a good time to remove the clutter in the home, pack it away, have a yard sale, and do whatever you need to help get some of the clutter out of the home that has gathered over the last year.

Below the cabinets – You need to be sure to take time to pull everything out of your cabinets and give the inside a good deep cleaning all the way around. This is important, be sure you look for any signs of pests that you may need to take care of!

Above the cabinets – You ought to take some time to get up above the cabinets and clean away the cobwebs and dust that has collected up above the cabinets. Be sure you inspect up above for any signs of pests you may need to deal with.

Areas not to miss Behind everything – You should pull out the fridge, washer, dryer, and any other appliances that you never get behind to clean and get rid of all the cobwebs, dirt, dust etc. to keep the home clean! Be sure you get to all the places that are overlooked and not dealt with throughout the year.

Curtains and drapes – It is a good idea to take the curtains and drapes down to give them a good cleaning. Be sure you check the tags to ensure you clean the material appropriately. You would be surprised at how much dust the drapes and curtains can collect over the year.

Deep clean – It is a good idea to deep clean the carpets, and take rugs outside to beat the dust and dirt out, and then deep clean the rugs as well.

Don’t Forget…Be sure to go through your regular cleaning routine, be sure to sweep away and vacuum all the dirt and dust away, and give the solid surface floors; like tile or vinyl a good cleaning with a mopping or scrubbing. Don’t forget to wash your window, both outside and inside as well!
