Winter keeps everyone indoors much more often, which means it’s even more important to clean your home in the colder months. While it’s always best to hire a cleaner in Nashville, we have compiled this handy winter house cleaning checklist for you to keep track of the tasks. 

Kitchen

• Go through your pantry: Take everything out and then go through each one. Throw away expired foods and then organize the remaining items neatly. 
• Disinfect trashcans: Use wipes and sprays. Do the same to all high-touch areas such as light switches and fridge door handles. 
• Clean inside the refrigerator:Take out all items, wash the shelves and racks, throw away expired items, and replace each item neatly.
  
  

Bathrooms

• Clean and disinfect toilet brushes: On top of the obvious cleaning of toilets, you should clean your toilet brushes as well. Put them in a solution of six parts water and one part bleach. Let sit for three minutes, then rinse and air dry. 
• Wash shower curtains and doors.
• Replace toothbrushes, especially after someone has been sick.
  
  

Living Spaces

• Clean under furniture: Vacuum and remove cobwebs and dust bunnies. Clean the floor underneath and don’t forget baseboards.
• Clean area rugs.
• Dust all nooks and crannies, such as trims and tops of door frames.
  
  

Bedrooms

• Declutter your closet. Donate or throw out items you no longer want.
• Clean mattresses with baking soda, then vacuum it up. Launder all bedding and pillow cases.
• Vacuum under beds.
  
  

Home Maintenance

• Dust ceiling fan blades.
• Hire a furnace cleaning technicianor do a cursory inspection yourself if you are handy. 
• Check batteries in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Clean air vents. Remove the covers, dust the covers, wash them with dish soap and warm water, and let dry. Reattach once dry.
• Disinfect high-touch areas to prevent the spread of germs. Go around the house and wipe areas that everyone touches, such as the remote, railings, door knobs, computer keypads, and microwave oven handles.
• Winterize the garage. Get rid of items you no longer use and organize all items. 

Having a plan before you start cleaning is important. Once you have a wintertime cleaning checklist in place, you can use it every year and modify it as needed.

Your best bet is to hire a house cleaner in Nashville to handle all these tasks for you, and to get your household on a regular schedule so you don’t neglect anything.
