Flexsteel Living Room Fabric Power High-leg Recliner: Check the surface and underneath the fabrics of chairs. Be ready with your lint roller and gentle cleaning solutions.

The weather is yet to totally warm up but, hey, spring is here so this is your go-signal to open those windows and bring out the cleaning supplies out of the cabinet.

Yup. It’s that time of the year again. If you don’t even know where to begin, well, you’re not alone. A lot of people are prepping to do this activity lineup and most already have their to-do list on hand.

So, what spots have been neglected in the previous seasons? How do you think you can clean those up like a pro?

Deep Clean the Cabinets

Let’s face it, one of the things that a lot of homeowners fear facing are their kitchen cabinets. Over time, the buildup in there can get overwhelming more so if you do not run your exhaust hood over the range when cooking.

That exhaust hood is your best friend. Be sure to use it each time you cook so that grease won’t settle. If, however, you’re already facing this dilemma, then be sure to use cabinet cleaning solutions or a cream that will surely cut through the deep-seated grime.

The wood cabinet will even be moisturized when you use a gentle cream to clean it.

Deep Clean the Glass Windows

Don’t be contented with just wiping the windows and doors from the inside. Go outside and take the time to use a glass cleaner to remove all the smudges and spots that you often don’t have the time to clean.

Here’s another pro tip – wash the windows on a cloudy day so that the sun won’t instantly dry up the cleanser that you use.

Deep Clean the Granite

Here’s another task that you really must do this spring – sealing your countertops especially those made of granite. You should have done this right after the countertop was installed but if you have yet to do it, then this is the perfect time to.

You can then maintain by resealing the granite surface annually. Another way to take good care of your granite countertops is to wipe all stains and spills right after they happen. These accidental spills may not be serious to look at but, over time, they have their way of taking their toll on your countertop material.

Deep Clean the Wooden Floors

You might think that you’ve been dutifully mopping your wooden floors all-year-round so you’re good when it comes to floor cleanup. Unfortunately, this very chore, which you have been dutifully fulfilling, is the very thing that will destroy your beautiful flooring material.

Wooden floors can be cleaned once every 1-2 months. And since it’s spring, it’s time to deep clean them. Spot clean for the rest of the year.

Use wood protector on your floor this season. This is so you can avoid scratching. As for those lovely green plants, you can keep water damage at bay by having them placed on saucers or trivets.

Deep Clean the Bedding

Take a careful look at your bedding – is it still dressed up for winter?

It’s time for spring cleaning so have your pillows, comforter, sheets, pillowcases, and just about everything in your bedroom, washed and dried. Just be sure to read the manufacturers’ labels so that you won’t use cleaning solutions that are not meant for certain materials.

Deep Clean Stainless Steel

What is the whole point of having stainless steel kitchen stuff installed when they aren’t sparkling clean all the time?

There are specialty sprays meant for stainless steel surfaces. You can use any of these to leave the stainless steel surface grime-free. Don’t spray too much or you could also contribute to the messiness of the surface.

Deep Clean the Rest of Your Furnishings

Bring out that bottle of vinegar, lots of baking soda, sponges, brooms, and other cleaning materials to tackle the rest of your spring cleaning activity.

Be sure to clean the carpet, under the carpet, wipe down the chairs, and dusting off the rest of the knickknacks.
