Having Early Spring Fever at Thomasville

Can’t wait for Spring--why not get a head start and spring to action with a time-honored tradition that marks the arrival of the new season here at Thomasville Apartments, Spring cleaning! Spring cleaning your apartment can feel like a fresh start! It’s more than just dusting off shelves and vacuuming under furniture. It’s about clearing the old, making room for the new, and refreshing your surroundings and mind. It’s a chance to reset, start the warmer months feeling organized and energized, and an opportunity to come and show off the place you don’t just live, but where you create memories.

Here are some helpful tips to make the process of cleaning your apartment smoother and more efficient:

Getting Started: Put on some Music or a Podcast

  • Put on your favorite playlist or an interesting podcast to keep the energy high as you clean!

Declutter First

  • Tidy up: Go room by room and start with a decluttering session. Donate or sell items you no longer use, and throw away anything broken or expired.
  • Organize: Group similar items together to make cleaning easier (e.g., office supplies, kitchen gadgets).

Create a Checklist

  • Break down your tasks by room and prioritize areas that need the most attention. For example: deep clean the bathroom, dust ceiling fans, or wipe down the kitchen cabinets.

Start from Top to Bottom

  • Ceiling fans & light fixtures: Dust them before wiping down surfaces like tables, shelves, or counters.
  • Walls & Windows: Wipe down walls and windowsills before cleaning the floor.

Tackle the Kitchen

  • Appliances: Clean the fridge, oven, and microwave. Don't forget to vacuum or wipe behind them.
  • Cabinets & Countertops: Wipe down all surfaces and sanitize your sink.
  • Pantry: Check expiration dates on food and reorganize.

 Bathroom Deep Clean

  • Scrub the bathtub and shower, toilet, and sink. Use a disinfectant cleaner for all surfaces.
  • Change out old bath mats and towels.
  • Don’t forget to clean the mirror and any bathroom fans.

Dusting and Vacuuming

  • Dust: Get into every nook and cranny, including vents, baseboards, and furniture.
  • Vacuum: Go over carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Don’t forget to vacuum under furniture.

Freshen Up Fabrics

  • Wash or steam clean curtains, throw pillows, and bedding.
  • Clean your mattress by vacuuming it and flipping it if needed.

Refresh Your Air

  • Open windows to let fresh air in.
  • Consider using air purifiers or essential oils to bring a fresh scent to your space.

Organize Storage Spaces

  • Tidy up closets, cabinets, and any storage spaces. Use bins, baskets, or dividers to keep things neat.

Take Care of Small Details

  • Light switches: Wipe them down.
  • Door handles & knobs: Sanitize them.
  • Change Filters: Replace air filters, water filters, etc., to keep your apartment fresh.

Set a Time Limit

  • Don’t try to do it all in one go. Set time limits (e.g., 2 hours for one room) to prevent burnout.
