Spring cleaning is a great time to tackle areas that are often forgotten during regular cleaning. Here are 15 things you shouldn’t overlook when doing a thorough seasonal clean.
1. Air vents and filters
Dust and debris build up in vents and HVAC filters, reducing air quality and system efficiency.
2. Behind and under large appliances
Pull out the Refrigerator, stove, and washing machine to clean dust, crumbs, and grease that collect underneath.
3. Light fixtures and ceiling fans
Dust often collects on fan blades and light fixtures, which can spread allergens around the room.
4. Window tracks and screens
These areas collect dirt, pollen, and bugs. Remove screens and rinse them with water.
5. Baseboards and door frames
Wipe down baseboards and door frames where dust and scuff marks accumulate.
6. Mattress and bedding
Vacuum and rotate your **Mattress, and wash pillows, blankets, and mattress protectors.
7. Inside kitchen cabinets
Take everything out, wipe shelves, and discard expired food items.
8. Trash cans and recycling bins
Wash and disinfect them to remove odors and bacteria.
9. Shower curtains and liners
These can develop mold or soap buildup and should be washed or replaced.
10. Remote controls and switches
High-touch items like **TV Remote Control and light switches collect germs and should be disinfected.
11. Closet organization
Donate clothes you no longer wear and store seasonal items properly.
12. Under sinks
Check for leaks and clean out old cleaning products or supplies.
13. Walls and doors
Wipe down fingerprints, dust, and marks that accumulate over time.
14. Pet areas
Wash pet beds, clean litter boxes, and vacuum around feeding areas.
15. Outdoor entryways
Sweep porches, clean doormats, and remove dirt that gets tracked inside.
✅ Tip: Work room by room and declutter before deep cleaning to make the process easier and more effective.
