The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and spring has finally arrived. You know what that means — it’s time for spring cleaning!
Spring cleaning is like waking up for your 8 a.m. class: Annoying, but necessary. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered below with everything you need for your spring cleaning, only a click away.
Make the most of your next rainy day and put some music on, light a candle and get your clean on.
The Kitchen
An essential part of every deep clean is mopping. After you grab a mop and floor cleaner, make sure that you let everyone know the floors are wet. We wouldn’t want any tripping incidents — after all, you’re not Grayson Allen.
It’s recommended that you defrost your freezer once a year to break up that thick layer of ice on the bottom. Why not make it the newest part of your spring cleaning?
Start by unplugging your freezer, and then sprinkle some baking soda to melt that bulky frost. Using a wet dry vacuum can help speed up the process while avoiding the risk of electrocuting yourself with a hairdryer.
The Bathroom
To truly clean your bathroom, you need to scrub doors, countertops, cabinets and sinks. Don’t forget to order a few containers of disinfectant wipes.
After spending chilly winter evenings relaxing in your warm, cozy bathtub, it’s time to give it a scrub. This shower cleaner and scrub brush will help you tackle this task.
The Bedroom
Has your sneezing gone into overdrive the past few weeks? Make sure to grab a duster and kick that pesky dust to the curb. Pro tip: Grab an extendable duster if you have high ceilings.
While you’re on your cleaning kick, don’t forget to take some time to organize. Sort through your clothes and set aside a donation pile. Stop by one of the many awesome charities in Chapel Hill that accept donations.
Everything in Between
Something crucial yet far too easy to overlook is the need for replacing air filters. Air filters trap harmful dirt and debris from circulating in your living space. Make sure to grab a tape measure to measure your air ducts before ordering new ones. When installing, make sure to point the side with the airflow arrows towards the AC/heating blower.
You can’t enjoy the beautiful flowers blooming in your backyard with streaky windows. Grab some Windex and a squeegee to clear your view up.
