April 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 save it all for spring cleaning, which makes spring cleaning such a daunting chore that it doesn't occur; either.
By breaking down annual and seasonal tasks into manageable monthly or weekly goals, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed. This approach empowers you to stay on top of your cleaning routine and feel a sense of accomplishment as tasks are completed.
Focusing on one room or area each month can be visually rewarding. As you see the results of your efforts, you'll be motivated to continue with your cleaning routine.
Here's the April house cleaning checklist that can help you achieve these inspiring results.
Clean the fireplace. Empty ashes. Clean gas jets in the hearth. They've had a busy winter, after all.
It's important to clean and oil your fireplace accessories so they look as good as new. This not only enhances their appearance but also ensures they function properly and last longer.
Daylight saving time means it's time to check smoke alarm batteries. Change if needed.
Take a walk outside and check the exterior of your home for areas that need repair or paint. Put these tasks on this or next month's to-do list.
Take down storm doors and windows.
Inspect, repair, and vacuum window screens. Get the screens clean and ready for the open-window days ahead!
Clean your windows and let the sun shine in.

Clean window blinds, or bring in the pros to do the dirty job for you.

Clean curtains and other window treatments. Wash what you can, dry clean what you must, and call in professionals for the rest.
Clean your furniture and upholstery. Happy Spring!
