As the days get longer and brighter, now is the perfect time to assess your space, clear out what no longer serves you and start the season feeling organized and ready. You may even enjoy the process if you divvy up the tasks and take a step-by-step approach!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Whole-Home Reset<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before tackling individual rooms, begin by focusing on air quality and overall flow. This will breathe new life into your home and help boost your motivation and momentum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Open windows to enhance circulation<br \/>\n\u2022 Replace HVAC filters<br \/>\n\u2022 Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents<br \/>\n\u2022 Wash windows, screens and window tracks<br \/>\n\u2022 Wipe baseboards, doors and door frames<br \/>\n\u2022 Sort through closets; donate unused items<br \/>\n\u2022 Vacuum and mop all floors<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The kitchen is one of the hardest-working rooms under your roof, making it a top priority for a spring recharge. You\u2019ll be surprised by how much a healthy scrub here will improve daily efficiency \u2013 not to mention your state of mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Empty and wipe down the refrigerator (check expiration dates)<br \/>\n\u2022 Clean oven, stovetop and range hood<br \/>\n\u2022 Polish countertops and backsplash<br \/>\n\u2022 Organize pantry and cabinets<br \/>\n\u2022 Wash small appliances (coffee maker, toaster, microwave)<br \/>\n\u2022 Sanitize sink and garbage disposal<br \/>\n\u2022 Sweep and mop floors<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Living Room and Common Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High-traffic zones collect dirt and clutter much faster than other rooms. Before you get started on this step, put misplaced items where they belong and donate unwanted objects. This will make these shared spaces instantly feel larger and more inviting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Dust furniture, shelves, lampshades and electronics<br \/>\n\u2022 Vacuum sofas and chairs (including under cushions)<br \/>\n\u2022 Wash throw blankets and pillow covers<br \/>\n\u2022 Tidy books, magazines and accent pieces<br \/>\n\u2022 Spot-clean walls and light-switch plates<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bedrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s no better time than spring to transform your bedroom into a peaceful sanctuary. A neat, thoughtfully arranged space leads to restful nights and a sense of calm that carries into every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Wash all bedding, including comforters and mattress covers<br \/>\n\u2022 Flip or rotate mattresses<br \/>\n\u2022 Declutter nightstands and dressers<br \/>\n\u2022 Organize closets and drawers<br \/>\n\u2022 Dust furniture and d\u00e9cor<br \/>\n\u2022 Vacuum under the bed<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bathrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bathrooms benefit greatly from a spring cleaning that goes beyond daily maintenance. Focusing on sanitation, order and utility \u2013 as well as d\u00e9cor \u2013 will leave these areas feeling rejuvenated and spa-like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Scrub showers, tubs, sinks and toilets<br \/>\n\u2022 Disinfect grout and tile<br \/>\n\u2022 Wash bath mats and shower curtains<br \/>\n\u2022 Polish countertops and cabinetry<br \/>\n\u2022 Toss old toiletries and expired products<br \/>\n\u2022 Streamline shelves and drawers<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Laundry Room<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The laundry room often gets overlooked, but spring cleaning here can make routine chores much more efficient. A quick reset also ensures your machines run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Dust off washing machine and dryer<br \/>\n\u2022 Empty lint trap and dryer vent<br \/>\n\u2022 Wipe down shelves and storage bins<br \/>\n\u2022 Coordinate detergents and supplies<br \/>\n\u2022 Mop floors<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When gearing up for a spring refresh, remember that staying motivated is key. To avoid becoming overwhelmed, break tasks into manageable chunks, turn on your favorite playlist and enjoy the satisfaction of a bright and welcoming home you\u2019ll be proud to show off!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/the-ultimate-spring-cleaning-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist<\/a> by Carma Stahnke | CB Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring cleaning isn\u2019t just about dusting and decluttering \u2013 it\u2019s a yearly refresh for your entire residence.
