QUARANTINE CLEANING: A COMPLETE HOME CLEANING LIST TO TAKE CARE OF WHILE AT HOME

COMPLETE HOME CLEANING LIST

COMPLETE HOME CLEANING LIST | Home Cleaning Checklist by popular San Francisco lifestyle blog, Just Add Glam: image of a woman going through a wire basket of cleaning supplies.

I have to admit that we fell pretty behind with our home projects and chores in recent months (hey…new baby life!). While being at home during the COVID-19 pandemic has definitely been a challenging adjustment, it has given us more time as a family to accomplish a lot of the projects we have had on our to-do list for months. Many of these projects are very important but ones that often fly under the radar and most people forget about. I hope to accomplish many of these, and more, over the next few weeks and months as we continue practicing social distancing and self isolation. See below my complete home cleaning checklist to take care of while at home!

HOME CLEANING CHECKLIST

1. Paint Touch Ups

There are quite a few areas of our house that could use just a little bit of love and touch ups:

  • Spray paint old smoke alarms that have yellowed over time
  • Spacle and paint old holes and nicks (e.g. old nail holes from frames!)
  • Magic eraser on smudges on walls
  • Fix mistakes from past paint jobs (admittedly we have a few of these to do)
  • Paint front door (we all know these doors take some abuse)

 

 

2. Unusual Cleaning

When we clean the house we stick to the typical deep clean of bathrooms, floors, and surfaces. However, there are lots of places that don’t get as much love on a weekly basis:

  • Wipe down baseboards
  • Clean out washing machine (using this washing machine cleaner!)
  • Dust ceiling fans
  • Steam clean upholstered furniture
  • Deep clean appliances
  • Wipe down devices (remotes, phones, alarms, thermostats)
  • Drains (pour boiling water down your drain, add in baking soda, followed by vinegar, cover drain opening and let sit)
  • Curtains (throw them in the washing machine if you can, or steam!)
  • Trash cans
  • Make-up tools and bags/organizers
  • Indoor plants

 

 

3. Exterior Cleaning

  • Power washing home exterior
  • Power washing sidewalks/paths
  • Deep clean porch furniture
  • Wash window screens
  • Wash your cars
  • Hose down trash receptacles
  • Replace and clean exterior light fixtures

 

 

4. Replace Filters

This is one we have been putting off too long. Some of the filters we know we need to replace in our house include:

  • Water purifier
  • Air filtration systems (heater, air conditioning units/central air, furnace, etc.)
  • Vacuum
  • Dehumidifier
  • Dryer

 

 

5. Vacuuming

It’s not just for your carpets!

  • Vacuum under the beds and couches
  • Vacuum under couch and chair cushions and nooks and crannies
  • Vacuum at baseboards with the tip attachment
  • Vacuum out drawers for dust and random crumbs
  • Vacuum air vents for collected dust

#ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down th #ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down their kitchen?!? 😅 I might as well keep a cleaner in my hand at all times since cleaning up after my toddler and baby is a full-time job! I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.
Spring has sprung and LOVING IT! I’ve been livin Spring has sprung and LOVING IT! I’ve been living in this jersey maxi dress and tie day sweater from @walmart, it’s been so comfortable to wear on transitional spring days where it’s warm one second and then raining the next (swipe right 👉🏻) they come in a bunch of colors and can’t beat that price 🙌🏻 Sharing more on stories how i like to tie it up for wearing outside of the house too #ad #walmart #walmartfashion @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/3DaOZ
We have been having so much fun on our extended tr We have been having so much fun on our extended trip at the beach house in 30A! I was so nervous packing  for two kids on this trip (6 suitcases later…) so I leaned in on @walmart to help me out by ordering our baby essentials to the house in advance. We arrived to our stock of diapers, pull ups, wipes, formula, apple sauce pouches, etc…everything we needed! I also ordered the boys some cute outfits, OBSESSED with these hoodie sets and love the colors, and my maxi dress too! I’ve linked all our outfits and baby favorites via @Shop.LTK for you to shop here https://liketk.it/3AKkL #WalmartBaby #liketkit AD
#BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimiz #BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimizing my life to be more efficient, (gotta be time-wise with two kids, multiple businesses, and getting it all done!). Amazon Subscribe and Save is my best bud for ordering our essentials to the house and we just swapped our laundry detergent to @botanicalorigin. This stuff smells so fresh, (I order the orange blossom & citrus leaves scent) but the best part about it is it removes tough the toughest stains like: wine 🍷, spaghetti sauce 🍝 (my stain nemesis!!!), chocolate 🍫, mustard 🌭, makeup foundation 💋(OMG!!!!!!), ink 🖊, oil and bacon grease 🥓… basically everything that ruins our family’s clothes. It’s plant based (67% USDA Biobased), for sensitive skin and is also aesthetically pleasing 🥰 , which is perfect as I’m trying to make this corner of our garage more organized. Peep my stories to see more about our new laundry detergent but also the rest of the garage 😂😬🤪 #BotanicalOriginPartner #ElevateYourClean  @botanicalorigin
We have been HARD at work for the past couple days We have been HARD at work for the past couple days in Florida working on @the30abeachhouse! It’s been a total labor of love and that includes finding last minutes deals online for things that are backordered, not arriving in time, or that just didn’t work out! Thankfully I’m shopping the @retailmenot Daylight Savings event (now through 3/20) to save extra on my purchases from favorite retailers like @homedepot and @michaelscraftstore! Swipe through the carousel to see some of our progress this weekend including our @samsung appliances we saved 10% on! 👉🏻🌊☀️ad
My camera roll is looking a lot like this lately 🥰 Kevin is officially back to work as of this Monday 😭 so I’ve got solo mornings with the kids and Harrison at the 2 year old toddler age is a ✨struggle✨I never knew putting on the wrong socks could completely ruin someone’s day but here we are 🙃 for any mamas out there struggling—I see you 🤪
