First, let’s start spring cleaning with the bedroom! Open the windows and let some fresh air in, don\u2019t let your bedrooms be stuffy! Next, dust your furniture, and clean out your drawers. Rather than throwing things you don\u2019t need, recycle them! After taking all of your things out from your drawers, clean it with cleaning sprays or wipes, then set all of your belongings back neatly. Next tackle your closet. This is your chance to donate the outfits you don\u2019t need whether it\u2019s sweaters, shirts, jeans or shoes.<\/p>\n

Sweep the floors, and vacuum under your bed. Wash your bed sheets and curtains. Dust anything else in your room and spray air freshener. Now that\u2019s clean room well done!<\/p>\n

Yes, we all know spring cleaning your bathroom is no fun. It\u2019s my least favorite but I\u2019m going to give you few tips to make you bathroom look like squeaky clean. Make your bathroom look like sophisticated clean like the hotel restrooms!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To clean your toilet, use all-purpose cleaner plus a little bit of baking soda. Next, clean your drains, by pouring a quarter cup of baking soda and vinegar. Leave the ingredients overnight, and then flush with boiling water. For your mirrors, you can mix white vinegar with water in a spray bottle, and then wipe it with a microfiber cloth. Finally we come to the floors, remove any dirt and dust with a dust mop. Fill your mop bucket with hot water and add two or three drops of liquid soap. Start mopping the floors, and then\u00a0rinse the entire floor with fresh warm water. Leave it to dry, and you’re done!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Finally, there\u2019s spring cleaning the kitchen! First start off by cleaning any dirty dishes then store them back to their places after drying them. Then start on cleaning the actual kitchen. First you would need a sponge and an all purpose-cleaner (hopefully a green one). Start wiping cabinetry, then walls, then\u00a0counter tops, then the fridge and stove, ending with the floors.<\/p>\n

When you clean your cabinets, take all of your dishes out, so you can clean all of the dirt and dust that might have been stuck in the corners. Then put everything back. Clean all of your appliances from top to bottom such as your refrigerator, microwave, stove and dishwasher. Scrub your sink and wipe down your faucet. And finally after cleaning every cabinet, counter and appliances, mop your floors!<\/p>\n
