Get Your Apartment Clean for Summer

Summer is fast approaching and hot Southern California weather will soon be here.  While there are still a few weeks left of spring, why not take some time to clean your Woodland Hills apartment.  This will free you up to get out and relax by the pool and cabanas at the Reserve at Warner Center or stay inside and enjoy a clean apartment in air conditioning.

We have put together a check list by room.

Kitchen

♦ Wipe down cabinets to clean it from finger prints and greasy build up.  Warm sudsy water usually does the trick.  If you are going to use a de-greaser, be certain to test in a small area first.

♦ Clean the stove inside and out.

♦ Empty and clean the refrigerator with warm sudsy water. Throw away items that have been left open for more than a few months and have expired.

♦ Clean the floor thoroughly and wipe down the baseboards and hard to reach areas near the base of your cabinets and appliances.

♦ Clean the faucets and sink.

Bedroom

♦ Vacuum, flip and rotate your mattress.

♦ Clean your comforter, sheets, blankets and mattress cover.

♦ Wash or shake all bed pillows.

♦ Sweep or vacuum under the bed.

♦ Go through your closet and throw-out or donate clothing you don’t use.

Bathroom

♦ Deep clean your bath tub.  Use an all purpose cleaner or vinegar, water and baking soda to form a non-abrasive cleaner.

♦ Wipe door knobs and light switches and faucets.

♦ Soak the shower head in a vinegar solution over night.

All Rooms

♦ Dust all surfaces including corners and edges.

♦ Vacuum and sweep all floors; don’t forget to clean under furniture and hard to reach spaces.

♦ Wipe all electrical switches and door knobs with an antibacterial wipe.

♦ Dust lights and fans.

♦ Wash windows and window sills.
