- Dust and Vacuum:
- Start by dusting all surfaces in the laundry room, including shelves, cabinets, and light fixtures. Use a microfiber cloth or a duster for this task.
- Vacuum the floors, making sure to get into corners and along the baseboards. Use vacuum attachments to clean behind and underneath appliances.
- Wipe Down Surfaces:
- Use an all-purpose cleaner to wipe down all surfaces, including countertops, shelves, and the exterior of your washer and dryer. Don’t forget to clean the control panels and knobs.
- Clean the Sink and Faucet:
- If you have a sink in your laundry room, clean it with a disinfectant or a mixture of baking soda and water. Scrub the faucet, handles, and drain thoroughly.

- Clean the windows and window sills using glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget to clean any window blinds or curtains as well.
- Clean Appliances:
- Remove lint and dust from the dryer’s lint trap and the vent hose.
- Clean the washing machine drum and rubber gasket with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Run an empty hot water cycle to eliminate any residues.
- Wipe down the exterior of the washer and dryer with a damp cloth.
- Clean the exterior of other appliances like irons, steamers, or sewing machines.
- Wash the Floor:
- Mop the floor with a suitable floor cleaner, paying attention to any stains or spills. If you have tiles or grout, use a brush to scrub away grime.
- Inspect and Organize:
- As you clean, inspect your laundry supplies, detergent, and other items. Dispose of any expired or unused products.
- Organize the items you’ve removed from the laundry room and return only the essentials. Consider adding shelving or storage solutions to keep things tidy.
