What's your ultimate spring cleaning checklist?

[Elisa]

Good afternoon everyone 😊,

Spring cleaning is the perfect time to breathe new life into your listing and your guests' experience.

Start by decluttering, and don’t forget to dust those places you often skip, like ceiling fans and baseboards. Clean your windows to let in more sunshine, and give your appliances a deep clean—wipe down the fridge, oven, and microwave. Freshen up your soft furnishings by washing curtains, cushions, and even rugs.

What’s on your ultimate spring cleaning checklist?
Share it below!

Have a great day,
Elisa 🌻

Hi @Elisa  Thank you for your advice. I will definitely do a deep cleaning on a nice spring day after my current guest checks out. Greetings from Türkiye

Hi @Erva-Apart0 😊, 

Thank you for sharing this here!

Which tasks will you prioritize for the deep cleaning?

Warm regards 🌻,

It usually takes my wife and I a few days to do it properly. We combine cleaning with basic maintenance (like checking baking sofa in fridge, and making sure HVAC filter is good)

Here’s a list we made (no specific order):

• Declutter entryways and closets
• Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, and corners
• Wipe baseboards, crown molding, and window sills
• Clean windows, tracks, and screens
• Wash curtains, blinds, and shades
• Vacuum upholstery and rotate cushions
• Disinfect remotes, light switches, and high-touch surfaces
• Clean kitchen appliances and update filters (fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher)
• Wipe and degrease kitchen cabinets, countertops, sink, and faucet
• Mop kitchen floors and clean trash bins
• Scrub toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and showers
• Clean mirrors, light fixtures, and exhaust fans in bathrooms
• Vacuum mattresses and dust bedroom furniture
• Dust air vents and replace filters
• Clean behind large appliances
• Wipe door frames, switch plates, and outlet covers
• Vacuum or mop under furniture
• Sweep outdoor entryways and clean patio furniture
• Check smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and bulbs
• Disinfect high-touch areas throughout the house

I also have a more detailed list of areas that can accumulate grime, such as the small gaps around the oven, which I can share later.

Hi @Dilraj3 😊, 

Thank you so much for participating here!

I'm impressed, this is such a good list. 😍 Do you keep it on paper or on your phone/computer?

Is someone helping you with these tasks?

Warm regards 🌻,

[Dilraj3]

It is my wife and I that do it together.

We have a process/system that we follow in order that's optimized for our house. We have it in a Google Docs file and then we have screenshots of the system.
