Simple 3-Week Spring Cleaning Guide
Refresh your home just in time for spring-without all the headaches! Let us do the thinking for you. Just use our easy to follow week-by-week, room-by-room spring cleaning guide for a spotless home in only a few weeks' time!


Week 1: Bathrooms

What you'll need:
- Rubber gloves
- Sponge
- Paper towels and/or lint-free cloth
- Toilet bowl brush
- GLASS PLUS® Trigger
- ZUD® Heavy Duty Cleanser
- LYSOL® Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner with Bleach
- LYSOL® 4 in 1 All Purpose Cleaner trigger



Step 1: Wipe down blurry, dirty mirrors with GLASS PLUS® Trigger for a streak-free shine. Be sure to buff with a dry paper towel or lint-free cloth.

Step 2: Remove ugly rust stains in your bathtubs, especially where they can build up around the drain, with a sponge and ZUD® Heavy Duty Cleanser.

Step 3: Makeover your toilet with LYSOL® Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner with Bleach. Clean around the bowl and under the rim to brighten and disinfect. Remember to wear rubber gloves to keep your hands clean and bleach-free.

Step 4: Revitalize old shower curtains and bathmats. Get rid of mildew on shower curtains with just a few quick sprays of LYSOL® 4 in 1 All Purpose Cleaner, and clean a rubber or vinyl bathmat by tossing it into the washing machine with your towels.




Week 2: Kitchen

What you'll need:
- Sponge
- Dishtowel
- Broom
- Mop
- MOP & GLO® 3-in-1 Floor Shine Cleaner
- LYSOL® Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner
- JET-DRY® Rinse Agent
- EASY-OFF® Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner



Step 1: Empty out your sink and clear off countertops. Rinse off dirty dishes and load into the dishwasher. Add JET-DRY® Rinse Agent to rinse away added residues and give your dishes and glasses a brilliant shine.

Step 2: Now that your sink and countertops are clear, use LYSOL® Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner to cut grease and grime and eliminate bacteria, quickly adding sparkle to your kitchen.

Step 3: Clean up your greasy, grimey oven in no time. First, quickly scrape up any large spills with a wet sponge, and then easily remove tough baked-on food and grease with a few sprays of EASY-OFF® Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner.

Step 4: Refresh the fridge and cabinets. Check for spoilage and expiration dates—anything that’s spoiled or that has been sitting around unused for more than a month can be trashed. To get rid of food-causing odors in your fridge, leave an open container of baking soda inside for at least three days.

Step 5: Finish off the kitchen with cleaning the floor. Sweep away crumbs and dirt first, and then make the floors really glow with MOP & GLO® 3-in-1 Floor Shine Cleaner.


Week 3: Living and Dining Rooms

What you'll need:
- Paper towels
- Vacuum with handheld attachment
- SILVO® Multi-Purpose Metal Polish
- OLD ENGLISH® Furniture Wipes
- GLASS PLUS® Trigger
- AIR WICK® Hidden Pleasures™ Scented Oils and refills



Step 1: Brighten up your windows. Spray away streaks for the ultimate shine with GLASS PLUS® Trigger.

Step 2: Wipe down your fine wood furniture carefully. With OLD ENGLISH® Furniture Wipes, you’ll protect your tables, cabinets, and chairs from watermarks while you remove dust and smudge marks.

Step 3: Make your silver shine like new. Let SILVO® Multi-Purpose Metal Polish bring a brilliant shine to your silver table settings. It’s a creamy liquid polish for a variety of metals such as silver, gold, and chrome, and it cleans and polishes without harsh abrasives.

Step 4: Tidy up your couch. Fluff up pillows, fold blankets and throws neatly, and vacuum just a bit on and under the cushions.

Step 5: Vacuum the carpet to finish up. Then seal in that new feeling of freshness in your living room with AIR WICK® Hidden Pleasures™ Scented Oils. The fresh smell of springtime, plus a discreet, frosted glass design that blends in with your décor is the perfect final touch to your spring cleaning!
