– Refrigerator & Freezer Unplug your fridge, toss expired items, and store remaining food in an iced cooler. Remove drawers and shelves, let them reach room temperature, then wash with hot water, dish soap, and a splash of vinegar. Wipe the interior from top to bottom (including the rubber door seal and shelf seams) with a sponge soaked in warm water and dish soap, then dry with a towel. Restock the fridge and freezer, place an open box of baking soda in the back, and polish the exterior with a stainless-steel cleaner, following the grain. R – Showers & Tubs Empty your showers and tubs. Clear drain gunk with a snake or baking soda and vinegar. Spray surfaces with a bathroom cleaner or a mix of equal parts distilled white vinegar and dish soap, then rub off residue after 10-15 minutes. Thoroughly rinse with clean water and dry with a towel. S – Toilets With rubber gloves, squirt commercial toilet cleaner around the bowl and under the rim. Let it sit before scrubbing with a brush, using a wet pumice stone for hard water deposits. Swipe the exterior with a disinfectant and flush to rinse away debris. Sanitize the brush and basin with disinfectant. T – Upholstered Furniture Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to sweep up crumbs and dirt. Spot-test the fabric with the proper cleaning solution or a mix of laundry detergent and water. If there's no discoloration, apply the solution with a soft cloth, dabbing stains. Blot with a clean, dry cloth and ensure the fabric is dry before use. U – Vents & Filters Turn off your HVAC system and detach your vent covers. Vacuum dust and debris with a hose attachment and wash them with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Let the covers dry and reattach. Don't forget to replace all filters! V
