Spring Cleaning Checklist: What To Clean

Doing a deep clean of your apartment once a year is a great way to stay on track toward keeping your security deposit. That little bit of extra work will also make the moving out process so much easier. Here are three over-looked areas not to forget to clean during your next spring cleaning.

 

Trash cans: trash cans can get grimy and moldy quickly, so be sure to take them outside and disinfect the entire can on a semi-monthly basis.

 

Dust picture frames: the tops of picture frames, ceiling fans and door way frames typically get overlooked during the daily cleaning ritual. Take the time to dust every one of these areas.

 

Garbage disposal: this are can get quite smelly after an entire year of dumping food. Take some lemon peels and run them through the disposal with cold water. The lemon should help clear up the smell.
