If it’s spring cleaning season or your Westfield apartment just looks grimy, a good cleaning can get it neat and tidy again. It’s fairly common to get frustrated when taking on more than you should at one setting. In order to make straightening up your place less of a challenge, we’ve devised an apartment cleaning checklist for Westfield Residents.

Complete these tasks in all spaces of your unit before addressing specific rooms to save time. Use this apartment cleaning checklist for Westfield to keep yourself organized.

  • Eliminate clutter.
  • Look above you and dust in corners of ceilings.
  • Dust door frames and tops of doors.

Cleaning Checklist for the Dining Room

The multitude of messes in the dining room come from food. For forgotten food scraps stuck to a tabletop or floor, put a warm, damp rag on top of it for one or two minutes to soften it a bit.
  • Sweep crumbs from the table and chairs and spot-clean tacky places.
  • Wipe off the backs and legs of chairs.
  • Give wood tables a good poslishing or employ a spray-on cleaner on your glass furniture.
  • Go with a soft duster to clean off any open shelves with glassware or other breakables.

Cleaning Checklist for Your Apartment Kitchen

Kitchens can get sticky and smelly from all that cooking. You can choose off-the-shelf options to deal with those greasy stains, but a handful of everyday supplies are great choices as well.
  • Give the cabinets a wipe with soapy water on a cloth and quickly follow behind with a clean, slightly dampened cloth.
  • Wipe off countertops with an appropriate product for your specific material or you can treat with white vinegar.
  • Scrub sinks with a paste of baking soda and a bit of water. Some baking soda sprinked down the disposal will help in eliminating foul odors. Follow it with water after about 10 minutes.
  • Run the dishwasher with a shallow food storage container of vinegar in the top rack. Then wipe out the unit with a clean cloth.
  • Get a cup of water boiling in the microwave to let the dampened air work on any hardened food scraps. Wipe out with a damp sponge or cloth.
  • Wash stovetop components in the sink. Spray the door to your oven and stovetop with a store-bought cleaning solution or equal parts vinegar and water and scrub.
  • Act in accordance with your oven’s self-cleaning instructions or simply make use of a water and baking soda paste to wash it out.
  • Utilize a mild soap or an equal blend of vinegar and water to clean the the fridge shelves and interior; follow with a wet rag. After that’s complete, roll the fridge forward and get the floor below with a broom.

Cleaning Checklists For Bathrooms
