Planning Your Deep Clean
Spring deep cleaning is more than just your regular weekly routine. It's about tackling those areas that get neglected throughout the year and giving your entire home a fresh start.
Essential Deep Cleaning Kit
Before you begin, gather all necessary supplies: microfibre cloths, rubber gloves, all-purpose cleaners, vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket, scrubbing brushes, and bin bags.
Room-by-Room Approach
Break down your deep cleaning into manageable sections, focusing on one room at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. This systematic approach ensures thoroughness.
Kitchen Deep Clean
Start with your kitchen appliances – clean inside your oven, refrigerator, and microwave. Don't forget to deep clean your cabinets inside and out, descale the kettle, and clean the extractor fan.
Bathroom Renovation
Remove soap scum, deep clean grout with a toothbrush and bicarbonate of soda paste, and sanitise all surfaces. Consider replacing old sealant and updating fixtures if needed.
Living Areas
Vacuum furniture cushions, clean windows inside and out, dust all decorative items and electronics. Don't forget to clean lampshades and picture frames.
Bedrooms
Rotate mattresses, wash all bedding including pillows and duvets, organise wardrobes, and dust all surfaces including skirting boards.
Finishing Touches
Clean all mirrors and glass surfaces with newspaper for a streak-free finish. Freshen carpets with bicarbonate of soda before vacuuming.
