Spring Cleaning

Spring is a notorious time for getting your home organized and sparkling clean. On top of the usual purging and cleaning most people do, here are a few, sometimes forgotten items, I try and tackle every Spring.

 Kitchen

• Clean/Descale coffee pots and makers

• Wax wooden cutting boards

• Clean out utensil drawers and dividers where crumbs, dust, and other debris might settle

• Purge expired pantry, refrigerator, and freezer foods

 Bathroom

• Machine wash your shower curtains (yes, even plastic or vinyl)

• Toss expired medications, cosmetics, lotions, etc.

• Vacuum exhaust vents

• Clean sink drains by removing stoppers and clearing debris

 General

• Vacuum soft/cloth furniture

• Launder or vacuum cloth window treatments

• Replace fire extinguishers older than 10 years
