June House Cleaning Checklist

June house cleaning checklist: Launder stuffed animals and washable playthings this month.

June house cleaning checklist: Some tasks only need to be done once or twice a year. The problem is that we need to remember to do them once or twice a year.

Otherwise, we tend to put it off until spring cleaning, which makes spring cleaning such a daunting chore that it doesn't happen.

The best plan is to break down annual and seasonal tasks into monthly tasks and tackle them on a daily or weekly basis. This way, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and instead experience 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. It's a satisfying feeling to see your efforts pay off. Here's the June house cleaning checklist that works best for me.

1. Is That Fluffy?

Clean stuffed animals and toys as part of the June house cleaning checklist.

Clean stuffed animals to keep them sanitary and cuddly. Some can be laundered in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle, while others you have to wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Be sure to check the care label for specific instructions. Getting all the soft stuff in your home cleaned is a great way to start your June house-cleaning checklist.

2. Caution! Hazardous Zone:

While the kids are home from school, entice or enlist them to clean their rooms, top to bottom. Be patient. This could take a while. (But then, the summer is young.)

3. The Land Down Under:

Have the kids help clean and organize their bathroom.

Clean and reorganize the bathroom. Use under-sink drawer units or stackable baskets to make the best use of the freshly cleaned space.

4. Take Two Aspirin and...

Clean the medicine cabinet of expired medications.

Take two aspirin and check their expiration dates. While you're at it, clean out the entire medicine cabinet to get rid of everything that's past its prime.

5. Give Shower Curtains a Bath:

Put vinyl or plastic shower curtains in your washing machine, along with a few bath towels. Wash in cold water on the gentle cycle. Remove the curtains before the spin cycle and hang them to dry.

6. White Out Grout:

Freshen the bathroom by recaulking around tubs and tiles.

Clean and repair, or replace, bathroom caulking.

7. Bare It All:

Bare the floors and clean area rugs according to the manufacturer's directions. Be sure to place non-slip rug pads underneath to keep everyone in your home safe. It's a responsible step that ensures the safety of your loved ones.

8. Aww!

Refresh the photographs you display in your home with some of the best you've just sorted through. This not only updates your home decor but also lets you showcase your recent memories, adding a personal touch to your living space.

9. Photo Swap:

Refresh the photographs you display in your home with some of the best you've just sorted through.

10. The Pink Period: The Final June House Cleaning Checklist Task.

Go through your children's artwork (when they're not around). Put the top creations in a unique memory book or box; frame the very best and display them in a hallway — circular file what's left. Enjoy the summer days ahead!
