Surface cleaner for all surfaces.

Toilet bowl cleaner.

Wood and tile cleaner.

Mirror and Window Spray.

Castile soap, baking soda, and vinegar are all eco-friendly products you can use to clean your home this spring. Instead of using paper towels, you can use reusable spray bottles or washable towels. Other essentials include toilet bowl cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, window and mirror sprays, wood cleaners, and any cleaner explicitly made for surfaces around the home.

Clean your home to achieve success

You’re now ready to begin cleaning. There are some things you can do to make spring cleaning easier.

Dust

Dust can be harmful to your health. It may contain dangerous chemicals or allergens. Grab a duster, and dust your entire home. Dust will build up on shelves, books, and lamps. It will make a huge difference and provide an excellent foundation for further cleaning.

Vacuum

Plug in your vacuum cleaner and go through your house once. You will have a clean and even more beautiful home. Vacuuming makes the rest of the cleaning process more straightforward by removing dust, crumbs, and other debris that collects on your floor. You can go one step further by deep cleaning your carpets and rugs.

Cleaning Your Windows From Inside Out

Wipe down all windows in your house, both inside and out. Your home will feel brighter and more spacious with clean windows.

A Closer Look at the Kitchen

You may need to clean your kitchen deeply, especially if it was a hobby you took up to escape from a stressful situation. These spring cleaning tricks and tips will make your kitchen feel brand new.

Stove Top

Grease, food, and grime buildup on the stovetop can make it less hygienic. To ensure safe food preparation and avoid contamination, you should clean your stovetop regularly. You may have to clean your stovetop differently depending on the type. Follow the instructions on your cleaning product, and start scrubbing.

Oven

You may also need to clean your oven deeply. Take on this task when spring cleaning your home. Remove the oven racks, clean them, and scrub any grease or cooking drippings accumulated at the bottom.

Flooring

Mop the floor after cleaning your kitchen, including your stovetop and oven. There are bound to be spills in your kitchen from all the activity. Vacuuming and wiping alone will not fix them. For floors that sparkle, use a floor-cleaning solution.

Brighten up the Bathroom

Like the kitchen, your bathroom also needs to be cleaned regularly. A deep clean can refresh and revitalize the bathroom now and then. Here are some tips and tricks to spring clean your bathroom.

Sink Area

Clean your sink, basin, and any counter surfaces you may have. Use a strong cleaner to remove the bacteria that can build up. Polish the faucets and knobs to a shiny finish and clean up the mirror. In the bathroom, water spots can accumulate quickly. You can remove them with a surface spray and a soft cloth.

Shower and Tub

Scrub the walls and floors of your shower and bath with a soft (but strong enough) brush. You should clean the grout between your shower tiles if you have them. To avoid residue, rinse off cleaning products using water or a damp towel. Check the instructions on your shower curtain to see if it can be washed. You may need to replace the shower curtain for your spring cleaning.

Toilet

Scrub your toilet bowl with a toilet bowl cleaner and a toilet brush. Regular toilet cleaning is essential, but a good scrub will make a huge difference. Be sure to clean the lid, seat, and toilet.

Freshen Up Your Bedroom

When spring cleaning, remember the bedroom! The best way to welcome spring is a clean, fresh space to wake up in.

Bedding

Your sheets and the rest of your bedding should be cleaned. Take on the more oversized items we tend to avoid, such as the duvet, pillows, and comforters. Your health and well-being will benefit from a thorough cleaning. Check the tags before you throw your bedding in the washing machine.

Closet

You can always organize your closet. Reorganize your drawers and clothes if necessary. Consider donating or recycling clothes that you don’t wear or use. It’s vital to declutter your home and not just your wardrobe. Read our tips for cleaning up your living room!
