Even though warmer weather is already in full swing, it’s not too late to get to work on spring cleaning your manufactured home if you haven’t already. If you’re not sure where to start, check out these must-do spring cleaning projects for your manufactured home:
Start with simple organization. Grab some storage totes and declutter each room in your manufactured home. Getting things put away will make it easier to get the rest of your cleaning done.
Consider a fresh coat of paint. If you have time for it and are looking to change the look of your home, painting a room or two in your manufactured home is a great way to transform the design. A warm yet inviting color can have a surprising effect on your mental health and outlook for the new season! Some popular colors for this time of year are subtle blues and greens.
Wash your doors, windows and baseboards. These are easy to neglect when doing routine cleaning throughout the year, so make it a point to give these a good refresh. You can clean the doors and baseboards with hot, soapy water. The windows may be a bit more work, so make sure to clean out the tracks, handles and locks, and patch up any tears or rips in screen protectors.
Dust in nooks and crannies. These are either hard-to-reach places or ones that might just get overlooked. Take some time and dust off things like lampshades, baseboards, tops and sides of doors, picture frames, underneath cabinets, ceiling fans, window blinds and refrigerator coils.
Clean your air ducts. Loose dust can collect inside vents over time, which increases the chances of allergens spreading through your manufactured home. To avoid these problems, it’s best practice to have your air ducts cleaned every year or two. Many HVAC professionals offer duct cleaning services!
Clean your kitchen from top to bottom. A number of germs and bacteria can collect in your kitchen when you’re cooking or baking, so it’s a good idea to give your kitchen a deep clean to refresh for the new season. Wipe down all surfaces, handles and cabinets to get started. Then, move on to cleaning out and reorganizing your cabinets. Throw out expired food and get back that extra storage! Sweeping and mopping floors, under cabinets and behind appliances is also a great way to clean out loose dust and food particles.
Last but not least, it’s a good idea to run everything through the laundry machine to have a fresh start to the season. Give your often-used fabrics like kitchen towels, bathroom towels and bed sheets a good cycle to help keep them clean, sanitized and smelling like springtime!
While you don’t have to tackle all of these at once, each of these projects can help your mobile home feel brand new and help you enjoy the spring and summer weather this season.
