Spring Cleaning Tasks You Shouldn't Miss This Year

Spring is coming, and it will soon be time for spring cleaning. Getting your home ready for spring is a great way to let some air in after keeping the house closed over the winter. It will help get the house clean and fresh for the new season. Here are some spring cleaning tasks you shouldn’t skip this year.

Spring Cleaning Tasks You Shouldn’t Skip

Have Your HVAC System Cleaned

Your HVAC system has been working hard all winter, keeping your house warm during the colder months. Now, it has another season of hard work coming up in the summer, keeping the house cool. Check when its service is due, and get it checked over and cleaned to make sure it will be ready for summer. A company like DUCTZ can change and clean the filters to improve the air quality in your home. If you want a fresher home ready for spring, this is an ideal first step.

Clean The Mattresses

You’ve been changing the bedding all year, but when is the last time you cleaned your mattress? Your mattress can get grubby over time, thanks to sweat and shed skin cells when you sleep, which can make it a bit smelly. A fresh, clean mattress will improve your sleep and make your bedroom smell fresher. Cleaning a mattress can be easy. Strip off all your bedding, and cover the mattress with a light layer of baking soda, to soak up any odors. Leave the baking soda for a few minutes, and then vacuum it away.

Scrub The Oven

Your oven could be pretty filthy after all the hard work you put in to feed your family. It could likely benefit from a deep clean. Take out any trays or grills from inside the oven to make it easier to clean. To make the job even easier, you can buy kits with bags of cleaning fluid to soak the trays in, or you can hire a professional oven cleaning company to do the job for you. You might want to take the door apart, too, if dirt has got between the layers of glass.

Clean The Windows

After a winter of keeping the windows closed against the cold, you’re ready to fling them open and let the fresh air in. However, the last thing you want is to look at the spring sunshine through a grimy window pane. Give all the windows a good clean, inside and out, to get rid of grime and smears. If you have lots of windows, windows that are high up, or windows that are awkward to reach, hire someone to do it for you, rather than risking wobbling around on a ladder. Remove your curtains, blinds, or other window treatments and give those a clean too, so you can have fresh window treatments to go with your shiny new windows.
