Spring cleaning can be a welcoming moment in season.

1. Dust display shelves. Remove everything from the shelves, dust the surface, and then dust each item before replacing it.

2. Shampoo or steam clean the rugs. No matter how much you spot-clean and vacuum, there still might be stained fibers that can make your carpets look dingy. A deep clean will brighten it up. But because antique and Oriental rugs have delicate fibers, they require professional cleaning.

4. Vacuum and, if necessary, spot clean all your furniture and chairs.

5. Dust inside of lamps.
