No need to get overwhelmed by March spring cleaning — take it room by room in manageable groups of threes. After all, three’s a charm!
In your living room:
Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures
Vacuum or dry clean curtains and clean window blinds
Wipe down baseboards and clear corners of dust bunnies and cobwebs
In your bedrooms:
Clean out drawers and closets (and donate gently used items)
Wash comforters, shams, and blankets
Rotate and/or flip your mattress
In your kitchen:
Empty the fridge and wipe down all the shelves (or stick them in the DW if they’ll fit)
Defrost the freezer and toss any freezer-burned food
Wipe down your microwave, stovetop, coffeemaker, and any other small appliances
In your bathrooms:
Toss out expired makeup, toiletries, and OTC medicines
Wash the shower curtain and floor mats
Clean grout (or regrout if needed).
It may not be your favorite thing to do, but the look and feel of a home after an intense cleaning session is the best!
