Don’t stress over spring cleaning

With spring just around the corner, the time to freshen up the home is also on the horizon. While spring cleaning can be daunting, breaking up the to-do list into smaller tasks to tackle over the next few weeks may help ease the stress. Some tasks not to be forgotten include:

• Deep clean mattresses with a steam cleaner.

• Dust and wash the bathroom and kitchen vent covers.

• Dust and wash the indoor and outdoor light fixtures.

• Clean underneath furniture, rugs and kitchen appliances.

• Freshen up closets by decluttering and organizing.

• Organize medicine cabinets and throw out items that have expired.
