Spring cleaning goes beyond normal everyday cleaning. It's a major project of home revitalization: to make everything new by removing dust and dirt, to make sure everything is in good repair, and to put things in order, so that you will have everything in your household in working condition for the coming year.

* Put away winter clothes and take out spring and summer clothing.

* Sweep and vacuum floors, walls, and corners.

* Wash floors and carpets
