BEFORE: If your pantry is overflowing with ajar-packed bags of food, spring is the perfect time to consider a full overhaul.
AFTER: In an organized pantry, not only can you easily identify what's already in your food, but also make sure that the room is not plagued by unwanted pests.
Kitchen cleaning schedule:
Spring is the perfect time to redesign a chaotic pantry.
yearly:
"It's time to face these annoying weevils born spring," he said. And everything is to disassemble, zonise and classify everything.
Anita not only upgrades the pantry, she also recommends getting under the sink.
This is because it is very easy for disturbances to accumulate here. It is also recommended to wash all equipment thoroughly and check the joints to make sure there are no molds.
quarterly:
Every three months you should be prepared to deal with the accumulation of dust behind, under and over the refrigerator.
The inside of the refrigerator should also be thoroughly cleaned at this point.
The task is to dispose of old food, to clean the shelves and to thaw the freezer.
The oven should also be added to your quarterly list of kitchen cleaning tasks.

At this point you can also clean all the drawers and empty the cupboards, glasses and plates.
Clean all appliances every three months and look at your drawers and shelves.
per month:
Anita said she should thoroughly clean her dishwasher and microwave at least once a month.
To clean the dishwasher well, we recommend placing a cup of white vinegar in the detergent drawer and leaving the machine empty in a hot cycle.
To completely clean a microwave, dip a sponge in a bowl of water and some dishwashing liquid and vinegar.
Once a sufficient amount of fluid has been collected, remove the sponge and place it in the microwave at full power for three minutes.
Sponge steam helps to dissolve cooked food and makes cleaning easier.

The surfaces of the device must also be cleaned once a week. These include refrigerator doors, toasters and coffee makers.

Schedule for bathroom cleaning:

yearly:
Once a year, you need to check that all the appliances in the bathroom are working properly.
Especially if you live in a limestone area, you can descale your shower head.
At this point disassemble the cabinets and the sink properly, as both parts can quickly be filled with unused products.
Once a year could be a good time to exchange worn bath mats or shower curtains.

yearly:
If you want to make sure that your room is in perfect condition, take the time to clean your closet once a year.
Not only do you make sure that all clothes that you no longer use have been removed, but also that you have not allowed the top of your closet to become a garbage dump.

Cleaning the children's room:
Children's rooms can quickly become chaotic, especially if children are quick to remove toys and clothes, Anita said.
yearly:
Inspect each child's entire clothing every year to determine what can be worn or transferred.
Anything that is in a reasonable condition, but that is an item that your child will no longer use, must be turned over to a charity.
Above all, make sure that you resist the temptation to store these items in the garage.
Clothing that is not in good condition can be cut and used as a rag.
Anita found that cleaning dirty toys was as easy as putting them in the dishwasher after spraying them with an antibacterial spray.
quarterly:
Sort out your child's books and toys every three months to get rid of them, or give them to those who no longer use them.
"The best time to clear is between the rooms," said Anita. "We can get off to a good start in the next quarter."
Anita also suggests returning the mattresses and sucking them thoroughly on a quarterly basis.

Clean the windows every month, wash the curtains and blinds and the sills.
