If it’s time for spring cleaning or your Fishers apartment really looks grubby, a thorough cleaning will get it neat and tidy again. It can be easy to get overburdened when trying to do more than you should at one setting. To make straightening up your place more manageable, we’ve came up with an apartment cleaning checklist for Fishers tenants.

Cleaning Checklist for Dining Rooms

The majority of unsightly spots in the dining room are a result of food. For dried food clinging to the floor or table, put a warm, damp rag over it for a few moments to soften it a bit.
  • Sweep crumbs from your surfaces and spot-clean tacky places.
  • Wipe off chair backs and legs.
  • Polish a wood table or make use of a glass-cleaning product on glass surfaces.
  • Use a synthetic or feather dusting tool to clean off open shelving with glassware or other breakables.

Cleaning Checklist for Apartment Kitchens

Kitchens usually are messy and sticky from your daily meal prep. You could use off-the-shelf cleaners to remove those greasy stains, but a handful of everyday options are great choices too.
  • Give the cabinets a wipe with a cloth dampened with soapy water and quickly follow behind with a clean, slightly dampened cloth.
  • Clean off counters with an appropriate product for the counter material or simply use white vinegar.
  • Clean the sink with a mixture of baking soda and a bit of water. Some baking soda down the garbage disposal will help in eliminating foul odors. Rinse it with water after about 10 minutes.
  • Run a hot water cycle on the dishwasher with a shallow food storage container of vinegar on the upper rack. Wipe out inside and out with a clean cloth.
  • Get a cup of water boiling in the microwave to let the steam work on any hardened food scraps. Wipe out with your choice of damp cloth or sponge.
  • Wash stove drip pans in your sink. Spray the oven door and stove with a store-bought cleaning solution or equal parts household vinegar and water and scrub.
  • Act in accordance with your oven’s self-cleaning instructions or just use baking soda and water to wash it out.
  • Use a food-safe cleaning product or an equal blend of vinegar and water to take care of the the fridge shelves and interior; follow with a damp cloth. Once done, move the fridge and use a broom to sweep the floor.
