Your April Cleaning Calendar: What to Tackle Each Week

April 7, 2025

Spring is in full swing, and April is the perfect time to refresh your home. A weekly cleaning plan can make your spring refresh less overwhelming while keeping your home in top shape. Whether you're a busy parent or a working professional, this simple and effective April cleaning calendar—designed by SOAA Cleaning Services in Lebanon, PA—will help you stay organized and stress-free.

Week 1: Declutter & Organize

Focus: Storage areas, closets, drawers

Declutter bedroom and hallway closets. Donate or toss what you no longer use.
Organize your kitchen cabinets and pantry. Check expiration dates and rearrange items for easy access.
Tidy up entryway and shoe racks.

Hack: Use labeled bins or baskets to categorize items. It’ll make future tidying much faster.

Bonus Tip: Start a donation box and leave it in a visible area to motivate your household to contribute all month long.

Week 2: Deep-Clean the Living Areas

Focus: Living room, family room, common areas

Dust and wipe baseboards, windowsills, and ceiling fans.
Vacuum upholstery and underneath cushions.
Wash throw blankets and pillow covers.
Clean windows and mirrors.

Hack: Use a lint roller on lampshades and a squeegee with warm water and vinegar to clean windows streak-free.

Bonus Tip: Rearrange furniture slightly to create a fresh feel without redecorating.

Week 3: Bathroom and Kitchen Refresh

Focus: Sanitize and refresh high-traffic, high-touch areas

Scrub bathroom tile grout and disinfect toilets, sinks, and tubs.
Deep-clean kitchen appliances (microwave, fridge, oven).
Wipe down cabinet fronts and inside drawers.
Replace old sponges, toothbrush holders, and kitchen towels.

Hack: Use baking soda and lemon to freshen up your garbage disposal.

Bonus Tip: Add a eucalyptus or lavender bundle to your showerhead for a spa-like aroma boost.

Week 4: Bedroom & Floors Focus

Focus: Sleep and comfort spaces

Wash all bedding, including mattress protectors and pillows.
Flip and vacuum the mattress.
Dust and clean nightstands, lamps, and headboards.
Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors.

Hack: Sprinkle baking soda on your mattress before vacuuming to remove odors.

Bonus Tip: Open windows for at least 15 minutes to let in fresh spring air and reduce indoor pollutants.
