Our Top To-Dos To Get Your Apartment Spring Ready!
It’s finally time to celebrate longer days and warmer weather. Spring has officially sprung in the Midwest, and with that comes a handful of chores. Here are five things to make sure you clean this spring!
- Closets and Storage Spaces
Out with the sweaters and in with the T-shirts, it’s time to refresh your closet and drawers! First, make sure you go through your clothing and set aside items you’d like to donate. Next, dust off your summer outfits and prep for warmer weather. Don’t forget to wipe down any storage before you swap out your wardrobe for warmer weather!
- Kitchen and Pantry
Remember that can of soup that has moved with you over five times already? Odds are it’s probably expired! Take some time to clean out your pantry and toss anything past the expiration date. Have non-perishables you don’t like? Donate them to your local food pantry! Feeling motivated? Empty out your fridge and clean off shelves and drawers before you reorganize your produce.
- Windows
Over the winter, your windows can get gross! Give your windows a good scrub using a mixture of warm water and vinegar for a streak-free shine. Don’t forget to wash your curtains and let some fresh air into your home!
- AC Unit Maintenance
Do you have a wall AC unit? It’s finally time to remove the cover and dust off your unit. Don’t forget to plug it back in and make sure you're ready to go for the hot summer nights!
- Balcony and Patio
If you're lucky enough to have some outdoor space in your home, it’s time to use it! Sweep away debris, dust off furniture, and wipe down surfaces to prepare for your time in the sunshine. Don’t forget to add a plant or two!
Spring cleaning can be a chore, but it’s worth it! If you have some extra time, pick up a piece of litter on your next walk around your apartment. Now go and enjoy your newly cleaned, organized home!
