Spring Cleaning Tips

Before we dive deep into the spring cleaning checklist of every room, let’s review some general spring cleaning tips that’ll make your process smoother. These tips apply to every room, so you should apply them for thorough and satisfying results.

• Clean the space from top to bottom. The last thing you want is ceiling debris falling on your freshly mopped floor or washed carpet.
• Start with a specific space and work your way to the exit zones
• Have a clear goal for the project
• Dust the lights, ceiling fans, and lampshades, and replace all burnt out light bulbs
• Go green. Instead of paper towels, use reusable rags and non-toxic cleaning products like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon
• Before purchasing new storage items, reuse those you already have
• Remove clutter using a professional cleanout and Junk removal company like Gorilla Haulers

If you have utensils, pots, or appliances you no longer need, getting rid of them can be a challenge. Fortunately, Gorilla Haulers offer junk and appliance removal services that come in handy in situations such as these. We’ll make an effort to donate or recycle the items you no longer need. And for those that we cannot, we’ll follow ethical disposal measures.

Cleaning the living room

The living room serves as an entertainment and play space. Most times, your family gathers in the living room to bond. As such, it’s not a room you can ignore when spring cleaning. For good results:

• Dust the furniture and fixtures
• Dust frames, mirrors, and décor items, including plants in the room
• Wash throw pillows and blankets
• Vacuum your carpet, lampshade, and upholstery

If you no longer need your old sofa or any other furniture, we can help you dispose of it. Alternatively, we can move it to a different room where it’ll serve its purpose better.

Bedroom cleaning and organizing

You start and end your day in the bedroom, and some people use it to unwind and relax. Therefore, it’s crucial that it’s in great condition.

• Wash your bedding, including sheets, throw pillows, and comforters
• Flip the mattress
• Use the vacuum to clean the sides of the mattress. Use the upholstery and crevice tools
• Get rid of items you don’t need

Clean out and organize the closet

When you feel your closet is full of items you don’t need anymore, use this organization checklist:

• Dispose of trash, including tags and shopping bags
• Remove everything from the closet and organize it into different piles:
  • Clothing that needs ironing
  • Clothing that you want to donate
  • Clothing that you can hang up
  • Clothing that you need to fold
• Replace the hanging clothes
• Wipe down and vacuum the closet and shelves
• Replace your folded clothing with drawer dividers
• Iron wrinkled clothing and return them to your closet

If you have items that need to be donated, we’ll organize a donation pickup for your clothing, books, toys, and furniture.

Cleaning your bathroom

The bathroom is a private place to prepare for the day and night. You can also set it up for relaxation and rejuvenation. However, it’s susceptible to clutter and germs; hence it needs special care and attention when spring cleaning. The following are some bathroom cleaning tips:

• Wash your shower curtains, towels, and mats
• Remove cosmetic bottles and old soaps. Before recycling the bottles, read the instructions on the label for such.
• Clean and disinfect the shower and bed
• Dust or replace décor items
• Wash or replace curtains, and shower liners
• The bathroom has loads of products that can be difficult to discard, including old makeup and bubble bath products. Gorilla Haulers can ease the concerns by properly disposing of the items.

• Vacuum the carpets, rugs, and floor
• Wipe down the window sills, shelves, and décor items
• Organize your desk and shelves and get of items you don’t need or want
