8 Spring Cleaning & Decluttering Tasks

Take a broom to the corners of the ceiling to catch any cobwebs in your kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Then, sweep or vacuum the floors.
Dust the undersides of every chair and table in your home, and then vacuum and mop the floors around them.
Clean every mirror in your home, including ones in the bathrooms, bedrooms, and entryway.
Dust your books and the knick-knacks on your bookshelves. Dust your blinds, and then vacuum the floor around them.
Dust around your stairs, and then vacuum them.
Wipe down your baseboards and other molding where dust tends to collect. Then, vacuum the floor near them.

Throw away expired medicines. Look up local regulations on how to properly dispose of medicines. Organize your emergency supplies. Make sure you're stocked on first aid necessities. Declutter your linen closet. Pull out the old towels and sheets you no longer use, and put them into your donation box.

Use a vacuum to clean the inside of your car. Declutter while you go. Don't neglect cleaning the floor mats. Then, wipe down interior surfaces with a cleaning solution and rag. Wash the outside of your car (or bring it to a car wash).

Recycle old magazines, newspapers, and packing materials. Organize old paper or plastic shopping bags that are lying around in one location, so you can reuse them. Shred sensitive documents you don't need anymore. Scan important papers, and shred the originals if they don’t need to be saved.

Move the couch and any heavy chairs, and clean and vacuum underneath them. Use the handheld attachment to vacuum the couch and chairs themselves.

Go through your desk drawers, and toss broken items, such as dead pens. Collect and keep office items, such as paper clips, all in one place in your home.
Take your stash of coins to a coin machine or the bank.

Organize your bags, including backpacks, briefcases, and suitcases. Declutter the insides, and then clean and store them.
Clean out your everyday bag or wallet. Wash and store reusable shopping bags all in one place.

Either mend any damaged clothing yourself, or take it to a tailor. Take any shoes or boots that need repairs to a cobbler.
