• Eliminate clutter.
• Use an extendable duster for ceiling corners.
• Dust places where dust settles like the top of door frames.
• Wipe down your apartment’s walls and baseboards to remove smudges and stains.
• Get the dirt and dust off your windows with a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
• Dust or launder window products like blinds, shades, and curtains.
• Use disinfecting wipes for doorknobs and high-touch areas.
• Vacuum or mop floors and remove stains.
• Before you put away your duster, get the slats and any hard-to-reach spots of your ceiling fans.
• Haul trash to the dumpster.

Cleaning Checklist For The Living Room

• Freshen up furniture with a vacuum and spot cleaning. Use a vacuum attachment to remove hair if pets are present.
• Dust tabletops, bookshelves, and other flat surfaces.
• Use a microfiber cloth to dust electronics.
• Polish wood furniture.
• Use disinfecting products on high-touch items like remotes.
• Ensure that remotes, coasters, and other needed accessories are situated close by.

Cleaning Checklist for Apartment Kitchens

• Give the cabinets a wipe with soapy water on a cloth and quickly follow behind with a another clean cloth.
• Wipe down counters with a cleaning product suitable for the counter material or simply use white vinegar.
• Clean the sink with a mixture of water and baking soda. A few shakes of baking soda down the disposal will aid in removing odors. Follow it with water after it’s had time to work for 5-10 minutes.
• Run the dishwasher with a bowl of vinegar in the top rack. Wipe out inside and out with a clean cloth.

• Heat a cup of water to a boil in the microwave to let the dampened air loosen up stuck-on gunk. Remove any mess with your choice of damp cloth or sponge.
• You can remove and wash stove drip pans in a sink. Spray the door to your oven and stovetop with an appropriate product or equal parts household vinegar and water and remove remaining stains and food debris.
• Abide by the self-cleaning instructions for your oven or simply use baking soda and water to clean it out.
• Use a food-safe cleaning product or vinegar and water to clean the fridge inside and out; then wipe away whatever’s left with a wet rag. After that’s complete, roll the fridge forward and sweep the floor underneath.

Cleaning Checklists For Bathrooms

• Clean your mirror above the sink with an appropriate cleaning product and a clean rag.
• Clean counters with the right product for your material or use a water and vinegar mix on a clean rag.
• Wash off cabinetry with mild soap followed a damp cloth.
