Your Spring Cleaning Checklist

The days are getting longer and the sun is coming out! It’s time to get those spring cleaning checklists started so you can enjoy the season before summer arrives. Spring cleaning is more than just dusting shelves; it’s about refreshing your home for guests and getting your outdoor space ready for action. Here is a checklist to help you get started. 

Deep Cleaning: The Hidden Spots

There is a world of dust and dirt hidden throughout your house, it’s just not always in plain sight. Here are common areas that could use a good scrub:

• Furnace Filters: Replace your air filter before it’s time to run the AC. These are often forgotten but should be replaced every three months for the best air quality and efficiency.
• Dryer Vent: When was the last time you checked your dryer vent? Lint builds up in more than just the trap. Use a dryer vent cleaning kit to clear the duct and prevent fire hazards.
• Behind Furniture: Sweep and mop behind items that aren’t moved often. Areas behind bed frames, heavy dressers, and TV stands are common magnets for seasonal dust.

Window Wipedown

Your windows were likely closed all winter; now it’s time to air out the house and remove accumulated grime.

• Window Spray: Use a professional-grade window cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth for a streak-free, squeaky-clean finish.
• Screen Inspection: Screens can tear over time, letting bugs into your home. Inspect each screen now and grab replacements or a repair kit just in time for the spring breeze.
• Window Hardware: Check your window locks and cranks to ensure everything is turning correctly and working smoothly.

Outdoor Home Cleaning
