Spring cleaning not only leaves your house feeling refreshed and ready for a new season, but it is also important for targeting areas that need extra attention. Sorting through old clothes and household items leaves room for new ones, and making more space might unearth shelves, drawers, or cupboards that need a good scrub before being restocked. Here are a few items to add to your spring cleaning checklist to assist with everything from trash removal and spot cleaning to home organization.

A Cleaning Checklist for Spring Cleaning

1. Rent a Dumpster

While giving your home a thorough clean, you might start to notice trash and clutter piling up. Regular trash bins and other receptacles might become too full, so renting a dumpster to assist with the disposal will ensure a smoother trash removal task. Find a local company that provides dumpster rentals, and use those to avoid extra fees for bulky items on trash day. If you are throwing out furniture or other large pieces, many companies will only pick them up on certain days, so a rental will ensure everything is disposed of quickly and efficiently. 

2. Scrub Cupboards and the Pantry

Overlooking your cupboards or pantry might not seem like a big deal, but dust, mold, and other allergens can build up over time beneath items. When spring cleaning, empty out each cabinet and take everything off the pantry shelf, then get rid of anything that has gone off or isn't being used, adding it to your trash removal pile. 

Wipe down the shelves with warm water and mild soap, or use a light cleaning spray from the store. Dry everything off before placing items back, and use that time to organize so everyone can find what they need easily.

3. Move Furniture to Clean Better

When deep cleaning, moving furniture completely out of the way rather than tidying around it will ensure dirt and dust get removed properly. Work your way through each room, shuffling larger and smaller pieces of furniture when possible to pick up debris that might have been sitting hidden for long stretches of time. If an item is too heavy or nailed down, use a swifter or duster to get as much grime as possible, then follow up with a vacuum.
