Properly.&nbsp;Spring cleaning &mdash; or storst&auml;dning as it&rsquo;s known in Swedish &mdash; is a tradition for good reason. After months of indoor living, sealed windows, heavy boots and tracked-in salt, every home in Sweden accumulates a level of grime that only a thorough spring clean can address.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo; This checklist is designed specifically for Swedish homes &mdash; addressing the things that matter most after a long Nordic winter.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Before You Start<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Open all windows as soon as the temperature allows &mdash; fresh air after months of being sealed in is the first step.<\/li>\n<li>Work room by room, top to bottom (dust and debris fall downward &mdash; clean ceilings and walls before floors).<\/li>\n<li>Stock up on microfibre cloths, a good descaler, grease remover and floor cleaner suitable for your floor type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Kitchen Deep Clean<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Empty and clean the fridge and freezer completely &mdash; remove and wash all shelves and drawers.<\/li>\n<li>Clean inside the oven, oven racks and inner glass.<\/li>\n<li>Degrease the extractor hood and change the grease filter.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe inside all kitchen cabinets and drawers.<\/li>\n<li>Clean behind and under the stove and fridge.<\/li>\n<li>Descale the kettle and coffee machine.<\/li>\n<li>Wash the kitchen backsplash tiles above the stove and sink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Bathroom Reset<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Descale all taps, showerheads and visible pipe fixtures.<\/li>\n<li>Scrub tile grout with descaler or white vinegar solution.<\/li>\n<li>Deep clean the floor drain.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the washing machine drum and detergent drawer.<\/li>\n<li>Clean or replace the tumble dryer lint filter.<\/li>\n<li>Wash bath mats and shower curtains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Windows and Light<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean all windows inside and out &mdash; this is the single most impactful spring task for Swedish homes.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down all windowsills and frames &mdash; look for signs of condensation mould.<\/li>\n<li>Clean window blinds or wash curtains.<\/li>\n<li>Replace burnt-out light bulbs &mdash; use the opportunity to clean all light fittings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Living Areas and Bedrooms<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Vacuum under all furniture, along skirting boards and behind shelving units.<\/li>\n<li>Wash or air out all winter textiles: duvets, blankets, pillow covers.<\/li>\n<li>Rotate or deep-clean rugs.<\/li>\n<li>Dust all shelves, picture frames and ornaments.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down all skirting boards and light switches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hallway<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Swap out winter boot storage and shoe racks &mdash; wash the boot tray.<\/li>\n<li>Clean coat hooks and hat shelves.<\/li>\n<li>Wash or replace the hallway mat.<\/li>\n<li>Sweep and mop the hallway floor &mdash; winter grit accumulates here most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b4800e1 pbmit-col-stretched-none pbmit-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4b4800e1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5618db58 pbmit-bg-image-over-color\" data-id=\"5618db58\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings='{\"background_background\":\"classic\"}'>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-59dfe5f1 pbmit-col-stretched-none pbmit-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59dfe5f1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-624cfbbb pbmit-text-color-white pbmit-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"624cfbbb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7777eafc elementor-widget elementor-widget-pbmit_heading\" data-id=\"7777eafc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pbmit_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"pbmit-heading-subheading pbmit-heading-subheading-style-1 pbmit-reverse-heading-yes animation-style4\"><h4 class=\"pbmit-element-subtitle\"><span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tBook a Spring Clean\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"pbmit-element-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\tIf the checklist above looks like a full weekend of work &mdash;
