With Spring coming fast, taking time to get give your extra attention can help transition the seasons. Below are a few tips to get you started on deep cleaning so you and your family are ready for summertime.
Start at the top and work your way down
To avoid making a mess of already clean surfaces and areas, be sure to start at the top of the room and work your way down. Dust ceiling fans, light fixtures and air vents first, then move on to walls, windows and curtains, and continue down from there.
Dust everywhere
This is a great time to get all those areas that are often overlooked like baseboards and behind appliances or large pieces of furniture.
Clean out closets
Go through each family member’s clothes and look for any items that are too small, worn out or not your style anymore. Once you’ve finished, drop them off at your nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army donation location.
Polish the metal around the house
In line with giving attention to often forgotten areas, take a few minutes to polish your doorknobs, hinges and other metal surfaces around your house to give them their shine back.
Spruce up your outdoor spaces
With the warmer weather just around the corner, now is the time to wash your deck and patio furniture, power wash the deck and driveway, treat any mildewed surfaces and replace any burned out bulbs or damaged strands of lights.
