Some Tips to Deep Clean Your Home this Spring

Are you preparing your property for sale or are you simply looking for ways on how you can freshen it up this season? Regardless of the goal, there’s nothing quite better than having to deep clean your home this Spring!

While you already have a list of your own with regards to spring-cleaning your home, a few of these deep cleaning tasks will certainly be a worthy addition to your list!

BATHROOM

It is crucial that you have a regular schedule when cleaning up your bathroom, as it is where molds and grimes easily build up. Deep clean your bathroom items, such as the showerhead, taps and faucets by removing any scum, and giving your shower essentials and caddies a careful wipe down. You should also disinfect your shower curtains often or, if needed, just replace them altogether. Another important item to watch out for is the exhaust fan, which you can deep clean by vacuuming away the dust and using a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the fan components.

BEDROOM

Although replacing the bed sheet and pillow cases may already be part of your cleaning routine, what you can do more to deep clean your bedroom also includes vacuuming and using a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down – this time – all surfaces, walls, or even the closet shelves; and while you’re at it, consider taking your clothes out and select which ones of them you wish to donate.

Additionally, if necessary, you can flip your mattress and push aside your bed to make sure that you can also cover and clean underneath it.

KITCHEN 

As Spring is the perfect season to attend to any cleaning tasks that you usually don’t do every day, it is also the perfect time to deep clean the kitchen. Consider cleaning under and behind the fridge, which admittedly most people skip when they’re sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming the floor. You may also want to clean the oven, the dishwasher filter, the exterior and interior of your appliances (e.g. kettle, toaster, etc.), give the walls and shelves in your pantry a wipe down, and also clean the kitchen cabinets and its handles.

Remember, maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of these items will not only freshen up your kitchen space, but it can also prolong their lifespan.

LIVING ROOM AND COMMON AREAS

We all know that the common areas and the living room are the most cherished and utilised part of a house. They are surrounded by a lot of stuff that call for a deep clean, and these consist of a couch, cushions, carpets, curtains, and linens, which may be the most obvious choice of items to clean in your living room. However, there also comes the light switches, behind the television, gaming consoles, air-conditioning filters, as well as the remotes, that most people usually forget and, in fact, all easy collectors of dust and germs.

Aside from these, it is significant that you also inspect the walls in your home for any signs of aging or mold.

OUTDOOR AREA

Here comes the space where you should certainly get busy cleaning, as it is the one that people see most of the time. Make sure that you attract potential buyers, especially if you are preparing your home for sale, by deep cleaning the following: gutters, outdoor patio, deck ceilings, wooden deck, if there is any, etc. Sweep and hose down each space and remove all the dust as well as the grimes on any part of the outdoor entertaining areas.

This is also a great opportunity to inspect the wooden decks if it is lifting in any spots or needs a fresh coat of deck stain.
