A spring cleaning checklist in manageable stages
Spring cleaning adds less frequent tasks to your normal apartment routine. Start by listing what your home actually needs. A small kitchen with clear surfaces needs a different plan from a family apartment with full shelves.
Work room by room and clear the area before cleaning it. Include breaks and leave enough time to make each started area usable again.
Choose the tasks your home needs
| Area | Start with routine care | Check or prepare separately |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Clear worktops, the outside of the hob and accessible fronts. | Empty cupboards before interior cleaning; follow appliance manuals. |
| Bathroom | Accessible sanitary surfaces and suitable floor care. | Clarify damaged grout, mould or special descaling. |
| Living room and bedrooms | Dust clear surfaces and clean accessible floors. | Follow textile labels; do not move heavy furniture without planning. |
| Windows and high areas | Assess access and a safe working method. | Arrange high-access or exterior work separately. |

Care labels and materials come before speed
Wash curtains, covers and other textiles only as their care labels allow. Carpet washing or upholstery treatment needs appropriate methods and drying; neither is automatically part of standard cleaning. Wood, natural stone and coated taps have individual care requirements.
Do not mix cleaners. Seek appropriate advice first for tasks that may damage a surface or cannot be reached safely.
Set a realistic time and budget
Choose three main tasks and a second list for any remaining time. Duration depends on condition, clear surfaces and requested detail; the number of rooms does not determine everything that can be completed in a visit.
PUTZIO apartment cleaning costs CHF 40 per booked hour: three hours cost CHF 120. Products are included; provide a vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket. Explain your priorities and clarify special tasks in advance. A booking does not promise completion of every item on this spring cleaning checklist.

Maintain a routine afterwards
Record unfinished tasks and spread them over the following weeks. If you book help, arrange each visit individually; PUTZIO does not run an automatic cleaning subscription. Allow at least 24 hours and wait for the cleaner’s acceptance after payment.
