The Kitchen Deep Clean
Start with the cupboards: remove all items, check sell-by dates, and clean inside and out. Don't forget the tops of the cupboards where grease and dust settle!
- The Fridge: Empty it out, soak shelves in warm soapy water, and use Bicarbonate of Soda on sticky patches to lift stains and smells.
- Appliances: Run deep clean cycles on your dishwasher and washing machine. Scrub the rubber seals with a toothbrush and lemon juice.
- The Oven: Use a dedicated cleaner or a mix of bicarb and White Vinegar. Pay special attention to the glass door!
Bathroom Refresh
- Wash all towels and bath mats.
- Change toothbrushes (every 3 months!).
- Clear out expired medicines and toiletries.
- Use a Sonic Scrubber around taps for limescale.
Lounge & Sitting Room
- Vacuum under sofa cushions and spray with Antibacterial Mist.
- Wash walls behind furniture to remove hidden dust.
- De-clutter magazines and old candles.
- Beat rugs outside to shift deep-seated dirt.
Bedrooms & Wardrobes
Change all bedding and turn the mattress. Spray with disinfectant to kill germs and leave the windows wide open for a thorough airing. When it comes to your wardrobe, if you haven't worn it in 6 months—it's time for it to go!
Outside the Home
Kerb Appeal
Wash your front door and garage door with warm soapy water and a Pressure Washer. First impressions count!
Garden Furniture
Clean plastic and wrought iron with mild detergent. For wicker or teak, use an oil-based soap like Murphy Oil Soap to keep the material nourished.
Take your time, put on your favourite music, and tackle one job at a time. Happy Spring Cleaning!
