Spring is Here! Time to Refresh Your Home
Spring is Here! Time to Refresh Your Home
April 7, 2025
The first day of spring has arrived, bringing warmer weather, fresh air, and the perfect excuse for a deep clean.
Wash Windows: For a streak-free shine, wash your windows on a cloudy day—this prevents the sun from drying the cleaner too quickly and leaving streaks.
Dust Light Fixtures & Fans: With ceiling fans about to get plenty of use, it’s time to clear off the dust that’s been gathering all winter.
Clean Hard-to-Reach Areas: Don’t forget to dust the tops of door frames, blinds, and shelving—out of sight shouldn’t mean out of mind!
Wipe Down & Organize the Fridge: Life gets busy, and the fridge can become a neglected mess. Use hot, soapy water or a mixture of three parts hot water to one part vinegar to sanitize shelves and drawers.
Deep Clean Your Washer: Your washing machine needs some love too! Clean the rubber gaskets with a vinegar-based solution to prevent mold and mildew from building up.
Change Filters: Now is a great time to replace water filters, furnace filters, and any others in your home to ensure fresh air and clean water.
Safety First: Replace smoke detector batteries and swap out any burnt-out light bulbs.
Finally, it’s time to enjoy the outdoors!
Wash Outdoor Door Frames: Remove dirt, dust, and those pesky bugs that have accumulated over the winter months.
Clean the Grill: BBQ season is upon us! Scrub the grates and ensure your grill is ready for backyard gatherings.
Refresh Outdoor Furniture: Wipe down patio furniture to remove dust and grime from winter storage.
Clear Out the Gutters: If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, hire a professional to remove debris and get your gutters in top shape for spring showers.
Declutter the Garage: Spring is the perfect time to organize your garage! Sort through items and decide what can be donated or sold—maybe even plan a garage sale.
