Make spring cleaning 2018 a breeze with this list:
- Appliances: dishwasher, stove, fridge, microwave, washing machine
- Countertops: especially granite and quartz

- Paint: use leftover paint to touch up marks on the walls
- Dusting: use extendable dusters to get high/hard to reach spots
- Furnace: your furnace filter should be changed every 3 months so take this time to see if it needs to be changed. Your furnace should also be serviced at least once a year.

- Pillows and Comforter: these bulkier items can be thrown into the wash once or twice a year
