Spring Cleaning

Hi everyone! Are you stuck at home working or self-quarantining? I am doing both, trying to leave the house as little as possible so that I don't get anyone else sick...trying to stay positive & busy! 

I have spent the last couple of days SPRING CLEANING - I feel like if our house is clean we are less likely to get sick...I don't think that is true but it makes me feel better & keeps me busy, off the couch, not glued to the news. 

As I was cleaning I kept coming across weird things I don't usually think about cleaning/I don't think I've ever cleaned. Hopefully this helps if you're looking for something to do!

Weird things you may not have
​thought about cleaning!

  • Ceiling fans - do you know how much dust collects on the top of the fans...do this before you vacuum or you'll have to vacuum again!
  • Fridge, inside AND outside
    • Pro Tip: stainless steel streaking when you use clorox wipes? They make wipes specific to stainless steel that make your appliances look brand new!
  • Microwave, inside AND outside
    • Pro Tip: if you have a stainless steel microwave use the same stainless steel wipes as you do on your stainless steel fridge, it will keep it from streaking!
  • Oven door - just look at it, it's probably gross
  • Coffee maker - most have a self clean button, don't forget to put water in it!
  • Walls - use a duster to wipe down any excess dust & dirt from your walls
  • Windowsills
  • Baseboards
  • Couches - we have leather so I used a clorox wipe, but if you have fabric you can use some of the attachments on your vacuum to pull out any dust, dirt, crumbs, etc.
  • Pet beds
  • Remote controls
  • Light switches
  • The wall behind your trash can (all the coffee stains....)
  • Inside your trash can
  • Change your air filters! 
  • Clean your vacuum filter or dust catcher
  • Heater vents - dust bunnies galore, I used a vacuum attachment
  • Wash your bath mats (dry on low heat)
  • Lampshades - it's crazy how much dust collects on them!
  • Dish racks
  • Wipe down your yoga mat

Can you think of anything I missed?? Comment below!
