the main organization can start in your closet. Do not just pull out winter clothes from the hanger or out of the drawer and store them in Tupperware while you store your heavy winter clothes to make room for your lightweight spring outfits. Him and make a selection Have you put that item all in the winter? If not, now may be the time to add to the donation pile. Do not leave contaminated clothing or clothing that needs repair to handle months from now. Go to the dry cleaners with winter coats, sweaters and pants that can’t be machine washed, sew loose buttons and make sure all the zippers are in working condition.
3. Dusting from top to bottom:

6. Wash and vacuum the carpets and upholstery:
For many months of the year we were in the house and bringing the dirt, salt and sand back inside when we found a reason to leave. The floor and furniture look the dirty shoes and pants covering the most salt. If you don’t have a cleaner owner than your own, they can be rented in different locations, making sure you know how to use the device before you begin, and if you’re not confident, try bringing people to do this for you. Allowing the rug or furniture to get wet for a long time can invite mold and other problems.

give your mats a good shake or replace them all for a new spring design. Wash or shake your entrance carpet with dirt in the winter, leaving traces. Gone are dirty shoes. Prepare for the day of the slippers.
9. Time for a patio party:
You will soon enjoy your grill and patio again. It’s time to divide the outdoor furniture and shake it down. Remove dirt and spider webs from the storage and ventilate the air from the cushions you have in the storage. To make everything look good, is there anything damaged?

The heart of every spring cleaning checklist is window cleaning. Do not forget about window treatments that they have to be cleaned like the glass and screen. Wipe your curtains with a rag and dilute the multi-purpose cleaning solution.
