5 Tasks to Put on Your Apartment Spring Cleaning Checklist

72% of Americans participate in spring cleaning. It may seem daunting, but making a spring cleaning checklist can make the project more manageable.

Make sure you add these five places in your apartment to your spring cleaning checklist.

1. Under the Stove Tops Our Spring-Cleaning Checklist
Start by moving your stove forward. You will be able to better see what’s going on under there. Grab a flashlight if you need it.If you can’t move the stove, take the bottom drawer out. Removing the bottom drawer will give you a lot more room, and allow you to clean without moving the stove.

Don’t just clean under the stove, clean around it too. Grease, food, and grime get in the space between the stove and the counter. Take a butter knife and wrap a damp cloth around it. Run the butter knife between the stove and the counter.

2. Ceiling Fan Blades
Ceiling fans harbor dust and dust mites. Not only is this gross, but they also are an allergy aggravator. You shouldn’t be waiting for once a year spring cleaning to wipe down your ceiling fans.

Do use a damp cloth or microfiber cloth. You want to use something that will catch the dust and those pesky mites. Do not use A feather duster or regular dry cloth. You will only accomplish moving the dust and the mites around.

3. Garbage Can
You have a weird smell in your kitchen, so you take out the trash. The smell didn’t go away. You clean your kitchen as part of your spring-cleaning checklist, don’t let the dirty garbage can ruin it.

That gross smell is coming from your garbage can. You are filling it with trash, some of it messy and trash bags leak. After emptying your garbage can, use some water and antibacterial soap to wash out the inside and let it air dry.

Before you put a new trash bag in it, sprinkle baking soda in the bottom. This will help absorb odors and keep it smelling pleasant into the future.

4. Light Switches
You touch your light switches every day, multiple times a day. Dirt and bacteria from your hands build up on your light switches and plates.

Wiping down your light switches shouldn’t just be on your spring-cleaning checklist. It should be a regular part of your cleaning routine, especially during cold and flu season. If there is no visible build-up of dirt of grime then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the switches.

If there is visible build up use a 50/50 water and vinegar mix to wipe them down.

5. Baseboards and Windowsills
If your baseboards and windowsills just need a dusting grab an old sock or a broom to sweep or wipe down. We recommend the sock method. Using the sweeping method means you will have to vacuum afterward.

For a more thorough clean, use a magic eraser and some water. Wring out the eraser before you wipe so that you won’t have too much water.
