Kitchen: clean all the surfaces — even vertical ones like the walls, back splashes,
fronts of cabinets and appliances

Bedding: launder all the washables, even the mattress pad and pillow covers; check
the labels on how to clean your pillows (some need to be dry-cleaned); vacuum the
mattress top and turn it; pack away heavy bedding

Closets: clean out and organize closets and donate items you no longer wear.

Windows: spray clean with glass cleaner; dust off miniblinds; wash or dry-clean fabric
curtains

Bookcases: remove everything (get rid of books & DVDs you no longer want — donate
to charity or the library); dust decorative items and shelves

Furniture: remove cushions and vacuum all surfaces

Bathroom: wash the shower curtain and wash or buy a new liner. Clean in cabinets are throw out anything you no longer need. Scrub toilets, sinks, and faucets.

Carpets and Rugs: spot clean carpets; wash or dry-clean area rugs; move furniture
and vacuum the entire room

You can check-off a room or a task each day and be done in a week; OR devote a day to getting the whole apartment done all at once. Whatever works for you. Just tackle that Spring Cleaning now so you can enjoy Spring when it finally gets here!
