March House Cleaning Checklist

March house cleaning checklist includes cleaning lights.Clean ceiling fixtures, lamps, and sconces this month.

March house cleaning checklist: Some tasks only need to be done once or twice a year. The problem is that we forget to do them once or twice a year. Or else we tend to save it all for spring cleaning, which makes it such a daunting chore that it doesn't occur.

By breaking down annual and seasonal tasks into manageable monthly and weekly routines, you can take control of your home maintenance. This approach ensures that nothing gets too overwhelming, and you can feel a sense of accomplishment as you see tasks getting done.

Concentrating on one room or area each month is more rewarding because you can see the results. Here's the March house cleaning checklist schedule that works best for me.

1.  A Clean, Well-Lighted Place...

A clean, well-lighted place begins with clean light fixtures. Don't underestimate the impact of clean ceiling fixtures, lamps, sconces, and anything that has a bulb. It can significantly enhance the ambiance of your home.

2.  And While You're Up There...

And while you're up there, make sure your March house cleaning checklist includes cleaning the fan blades of built-up dust, too.

3.  Floor Show:

Deep clean floors in March.

Clean hardwood floors, tile floors, linoleum, and other floor surfaces, and seal them.

4.  And While You're At It...

Have carpets and rugs professionally cleaned this month.

And while you're at it, call the pros to schedule a carpet cleaning, too.

5.  Think Small:

Clean toasters and small kitchen appliances in March.

Think small. Think small appliances. Think "clean small appliances."  Tackle the toaster, the toaster oven, the microwave - and show them who's boss.

6.  Home Office Help:

Organize financial files this month to prepare for tax time.

Get a jump on the taxman. Use this month to clean out your office drawers and files, and surprise your accountant with all your receipts for a change.

Consider organizing your paperwork more efficiently, so this task will be easier next year. You can use color-coded folders, digital storage, or a filing system that suits your needs.

7.  Does Not Compute?

Clean your laptop computer and screen this month.

Does not compute? Maybe it needs cleaning. Regularly cleaning your computer, keyboard, and mouse not only keeps them in good condition but also prevents the buildup of germs. And while you're at it, tackle your all-in-one printer, too.

8.  Paper Chase:

Organize home office files and paperwork in March.

Clean out all those extra books, magazines, papers, etc. Recycle, resell, or donate them. Here's how to get your home paperwork organized.

9.  Goodbye 'Till Next Year:

Organize and store winter clothes.

Put winter clothes, ski clothes, sweaters, etc., into storage. This is also an excellent opportunity to reorganize your clothes. 

10.   Presto Change-O: The Final March House Cleaning Checklist Task.

Presto, change-o: And the “coat closet” becomes the “sweater closet.” Clean out the entry closet to make room for the new season's outerwear.
