Spring is the official time of year to do thorough cleaning to refresh interior spaces after a long winter of indoor living. You can accomplish this task easily if you take care of a few basic operations that eliminate most dust and dirt. Here are some tips on the best ways to clean apartments in Franklin quickly and efficiently:
Kitchen
Kitchens see a great deal of use in most apartments, with everyday food preparation, spills and a variety of messes. Cabinet interiors should be wiped with a detergent solution, and counter should be scrubbed and then wiped with bleach or other disinfectant. Polish cabinet exteriors with an appropriate cleaner. Clean interior refrigerator surfaces. Compartments that hold meat or vegetables in your refrigerator can be breeding grounds for microorganisms that can make your family sick. In a USA Today article, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends cleaning these areas with a solution of warm water and detergent, then wiping dry with a clean cloth. Wiping these areas with a solution of one tablespoon of baking soda in a quart of water will help to eliminate odors. Sweep kitchen flooring and scrub with a household cleaner and allow it to dry completely before walking on it.
Dining Areas
The flooring in dining areas should be carefully swept and vacuumed to remove crumbs and other debris that can attract insects. Remove or move furniture to clean and shampoo the carpeting. Carefully clean furniture with wood polish or other suitable cleaner. Wipe dust from baseboards. Remove and clean draperies and wash windows.
Bathrooms
Because of the constant moisture and the risk for mold growth, bathrooms should be cleaned regularly. For spring-cleaning, remove and wash shower curtains, clean shower stalls with disinfectant cleaner and scrub floor and wall tiles. Clean dirty grout lines with oxygen bleach, scrubbing vigorously. Rinse and dry tiles thoroughly. Use a commercial toilet bowl cleaner to clean and disinfect the commode.
Living Room
Living rooms are often the central areas of the apartment where movie nights, game nights and other activities take place. Vacuum and move furniture to give the carpeting a thorough vacuuming and shampooing. Clean off baseboards and windowsills. Remove draperies and launder or dry clean. Clean windows. Dust coffee tables, shelves and other furniture and clean with appropriate polish.
Bedroom
Bedrooms generally don’t see much daily use, but often accumulate a significant amount of dust. Remove curtains and launder or dry clean. Polish the furniture. Clean the baseboards with a mild detergent solution. Thoroughly vacuum and shampoo the carpets and area rugs. Clean mirrors, shelves and other surfaces. Bedrooms can often be the storage areas for a variety of items, so take the time to de-clutter shelves, dressers and closets.
