How to plan your spring deep cleaning
An effective spring deep cleaning starts with a plan. Our practical guide to transforming your home in a few hours.
Spring deep cleaning is the chance to reset a home that accumulated dust, clutter and neglect through the Quebec winter. Done right, it takes a day. Done wrong, it stretches over three weekends.
Prepare the shopping list
Before starting, take stock: multi-surface cleaner, white vinegar, sturdy garbage bags, gloves, microfiber cloths, long-handle brush, working vacuum.
Follow the room order
Always start with the least dirty rooms (bedrooms, office) and end with the messiest (kitchen, bathroom). Top to bottom: dust and cobwebs first, floors last.
When to call a Jo?
If you're short on time or dread the chore, a Depanjo jobber can handle all or part of the deep clean. Plan 2 to 4 hours for a standard 4½ apartment.
