With the arrival of spring, you might feel like it’s finally time to really clean your house well and experience the satisfaction that comes with a clean, sanitized, organized home. It’s a time for new beginnings, after all.

The Spring Cleaning Tasks Most People Don’t Think Of

A lot of other people will be doing their spring cleaning right about now too, but there are some things they tend to forget even while making efforts to be thorough. Here are a few spring cleaning tasks that are often forgotten but still important:

  • Dust Everything – When you dust on a weekly basis, you probably don’t get to every surface that you should because you don’t have all the time in the world. When you do spring cleaning, it’s a good time to pay extra attention to neglected spots, like ceiling fan blades, window tracks, and baseboards.
  • Vacuum & Rotate Your Mattress – Vacuuming your mattress helps to remove dust, dead skin, and other allergens, so you can sleep better and have peace of mind knowing your bed is clean. Now is also a great time to rotate your mattress. Rotating it every 6 to 12 months will even out the wear and keep it from sagging and losing support.
  • Clean Your Washer/Dryer – Washers and dryers can become breeding grounds for mold and mildew but cleaning them routinely will keep them in great condition and your laundry smelling fresh. Use a dedicated washing machine cleaner and run it with hot water. For your dryer, make sure it’s unplugged and then vacuum and wipe it down.
  • Clean Beneath Furniture – It’s easier to clean around furniture most of the time, but that means dirt, dust, crumbs, and other debris will accumulate beneath it. Take this opportunity to move the furniture and make your home as clean as possible.
  • Wipe Your Keyboard & Mouse – Dust and other debris get stuck in your keyboard keys every day, while both your keyboard and your mouse collect all kinds of germs, so make sure to sanitize them.
