Spring Cleaning Checklist: Get Your Apartment Fresh & Organized

With warmer days ahead, it's time to refresh your home. Decluttering and deep cleaning boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve hygiene. Follow this guide to make your apartment spotless and organized.

1

Declutter First: Make Space Before Cleaning

Decluttering makes cleaning easier and your apartment feel more spacious. Sort items into Keep, Donate, or Trash, and let go of anything you haven’t used in the past year.

Clothing & Accessories

Sort your clothes and donate what you haven’t worn in a year. Store seasonal items in vacuum-sealed bags and declutter shoes, bags, and accessories to free up space in your closet.

Papers & Miscellaneous Items

Shred old paperwork and toss expired coupons. Donate or recycle books and magazines you won’t use. Clear out your junk drawer by discarding outdated electronics, chargers, and unnecessary clutter.

Kitchen & Bathroom Products

Discard expired food and old toiletries. Donate unused appliances and get rid of expired medications and half-used beauty products to keep your kitchen and bathroom organized and clutter-free.

2

Deep Cleaning: Areas You Might Be Overlooking

With clutter gone, focus on deep cleaning neglected areas. Spring is the ideal time to refresh hidden spots and ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned beyond your usual routine.

Living Room & Bedroom

Dust surfaces, vacuum under furniture, and wash curtains, pillow covers, and blankets. Deep clean sofas, flip and vacuum your mattress, and refresh all bedding to remove dust and allergens.

Kitchen

Clean the fridge, discard expired food, and wipe shelves. Degrease the stovetop, oven, and microwave. Sanitize cabinets, drawers, countertops, and sinks, removing crumbs, bacteria, and built-up grime.

Bathroom

Scrub tiles, grout, and shower doors to remove mold and soap scum. Sanitize toilet, sink, and tub. Clean mirrors, light fixtures, and wash or replace bath mats and shower curtains as needed.

3

High-Touch Surfaces & Air Quality

High-touch surfaces collect germs even with regular cleaning. Take this time to disinfect everything you frequently touch, ensuring a healthier and more hygienic living space.

Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

Disinfect light switches, doorknobs, remotes, and handles. Clean phone screens, keyboards, and electronics. Sanitize trash cans and recycling bins to eliminate odors and germs.

Improve Air Quality

Open windows for fresh air, replace air filters, and clean ceiling fans and vents. Use a HEPA vacuum to reduce allergens and improve air quality for a healthier home environment.

Smart Cleaning Hacks for Small Spaces

Living in a small apartment requires smart cleaning strategies. Use multi-purpose cleaners to save space, store supplies vertically, and vacuum regularly to prevent dust buildup in tight areas.

Adopt a "clean as you go" habit by wiping surfaces immediately after use. Keep a handheld vacuum or lint roller for quick touch-ups. These simple habits help maintain a tidy, clutter-free home year-round.
