You want to be able to enjoy warm spring days with the windows open, but it\u2019s difficult to sit down and relax when those open windows are covered in a layer of grime. Here\u2019s a look at Daisy Maid\u2019s ultimate checklist for your spring cleaning.<\/span>\n

Cleaning Basics<\/b><\/h2>\nBefore we get to the nitty-gritty of surfaces and areas you need to focus your cleaning on, let\u2019s do a brief overview of cleaning basics. A general rule of thumb for each room is to clean top to bottom in a circle. Cleaning this way will help minimize the amount of time you spend in each room, so you don\u2019t do things like clean the countertops in your kitchen first and then drip cleaner onto them while you\u2019re scrubbing the cupboards above.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAnother good thing to keep in mind is what type of <\/span>cleaning solution<\/span><\/a> you are using. Every surface in your home has different cleaning recommendations, so if you\u2019re unsure how to clean it, it\u2019s best to start with a small, inconspicuous corner first. A good multipurpose cleaner should do the trick. Homemade cleaning solutions can also be highly effective, like a bucket of hot water with a small amount of powdered laundry detergent dissolved into it.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAs far as other supplies go, you\u2019ll need a reliable vacuum, plenty of soft microfiber cloths, and gloves to protect your hands. The vacuum will make your life much easier, we promise! Vacuum the entire room first before you start scrubbing anything. You can use your vacuum attachments to clean hair and lint out of drawers, remove buildup from the tops of baseboards, clean out bins in your refrigerator, and so much more. You\u2019ll save yourself a lot of heartache and time spent pushing grime around by vacuuming all of your surfaces first.<\/span>\n

Every Room<\/b><\/h2>\nWhile each room has its own set of specific checklist items, a handful of things need cleaning in every room. These include the following:<\/span>\n
