As spring approaches, homeowners are preparing for annual spring cleaning to refresh their homes. However, many people forget about a few vital things to do during spring cleaning like dusting the blinds, getting a carpet cleaning in Forth Smith, AR, and more. So this season, don’t neglect the things on this list!
Clean Behind Appliances
Over time, crumbs, grease, and unwanted dust accumulate behind and underneath your stove, refrigerator, and other appliances, providing a food source for insects. If possible, move the appliance out from the wall and unplug it. Using a long-handled, slightly damp sponge, mop the back of the appliance to lift dust from the surface and then wipe the floor and walls with hot soapy water.
Dust Blinds
Window curtains and blinds collect dust and dirt easily. Remove dust build-up by shutting blinds and dusting with a microfiber cloth. Next, close blinds in the opposite direction for a quick, thorough wipe-down using a window cleaner and clean cloth.
Clean Carpets and Upholstery
Carpets and upholstery accumulate tons of dust and dirt. They pick up everything from pet urine to toenails. This dust hiding in carpet fibers is not cleaned by vacuuming alone and should be cleaned by a professional three times a year. Chem-Dry is your best bet when it comes to removing dirt and dust from your home this spring!
Vacuum Mattress
Mattresses are a dust mite’s paradise as people sweat up to a half-pint of moisture each night and shed up to nine pounds of skin each year while they sleep, so make sure you clean it this spring! Vacuum the mattress thoroughly and turn it over. Ideally, your mattress should be vacuumed at least once a month and turned over every six months.
