Kitchen
The kitchen of every home requires regular cleaning to remain neat and tidy. Cleaning the kitchen is more than just cleaning the kitchen. It is about cleaning the cabinets, floors, appliances, under the sink,
dining table, range hood, and cupboards. Everywhere you look in your kitchen is covered with dust and germs. To protect your family from foodborne illnesses, the area where food is prepared must be kept free of bacteria and debris.
Starting with the appliances, utilize an antibacterial cleaner to clean the surface, interior and exterior. It is crucial to focus on all areas utilized for food preparation. When food is prepared on contaminated surfaces, the risk of salmonella, E. coli, and Shigella increase drastically. These foodborne illnesses can be avoided with the right cleaning strategy.
Closets And Other Storage Areas
Who has closets that do not need to be cleaned at least once a year? Closets have endless purposes, depending on location. For example, a bathroom closet is utilized to store bath towels, washcloths, grooming tools, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, cleaning supplies, and toilet paper. A hallway closet is utilized to store coats, jackets, galoshes, umbrellas, raincoats, toboggans, and scarves.
If your family members are like others, they are constantly buying new attire, shoes, and other accessories. Keeping empty space for new accessories will eliminate the need to look elsewhere for storage.
A closet cleanout is te process of removing all items from a closet. Once the closet is empty, it should be cleaned thoroughly before items are placed back inside.
Bed Linen
A bed should be free of germs, bed bugs, dust mites, and debris.
Spring cleanings are not enough to keep these contaminants at bay. However, this is a great place to start converting your bed into an inviting place to rest.
Remove all linen – sheets, pillowcases, mattress covers, blankets, and quilts – from the bed. Create piles from the bed linen and run them through a full laundry cycle. With your bed linen in the washer, you can now focus on your mattress and box springs. Vacuum the top and both of the mattress and box springs. Utilizing a fabric spray, apply a thin layer to the top of the mattress and box springs. Massage the cleanser into the fabric, utilizing a brush with stiff bristles. Repeat this process with the bottom side of the mattress and box springs.
Do not replace the linen back on the mattress and box springs until they are fully dry.
Carpeting
Carpeting is a harbor for pests, dirt, germs, pet dander & hair, and other debris. A carpet is utilized for much more than just walking on. To get the most out of your carpet cleaning, experts recommend a shampooer. A commercial-grade shampooer with a built-in steamer is key to keeping your
carpet clean.
Starting with a thorough vacuuming, clean the carpet from wall to wall. Switch on the shampooer and allow the water to heat up to boiling. Start at one of the upper corners to ensure even cleaning. Continue this process until the entire carpet is cleaned. Allow to air dry before replacing the furniture and décor back in the room.
Windows And Mirrors
To maximize your spring-cleaning effort, it is important to utilize a high-quality glass cleaner for the windows and mirrors. Spray a thin coat of the glass cleaner on the windowpane, followed by a soft, dry cloth. Try to avoid cleaning rags that shed because the microscopic strands will be extremely difficult to get rid of.
Starting at the top right-hand corner, wipe the dry cloth to the left and back to the right. Continue this process until you reach the bottom right-hand corner.
Walls
Smoking, cooking, humidity, steam, heat, and cold, will impact the appearance of the interior walls. When the interior walls are dull, they become the focal point of every room in your home. A thorough cleaning and fresh coat of paint will rejuvenate your home’s walls.
Garage
A
garage is utilized for storing automobiles, lawn equipment, hand tools, cleaning supplies, and maintenance materials. There will come a time when your garage needs to be thoroughly cleaned. However, before it can be cleaned, it must be vacant of all the stored items.

garage is vacant, you can start cleaning, utilizing an industrial-grade disinfectant. Leave the garage door open to allow the fumes to escape.
