Spring Cleaning

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and clear out the dust and clutter accumulated over the winter. Here's our opinion on what to keep in mind when you're making your spring checklist.


Key Tasks

Remove dust and allergens by thoroughly vacuuming and shampooing carpets and rugs. Clean windows inside and out to let in more natural light, and wash curtains or replace them with lighter, airier options. Go through closets, cabinets, and storage areas to declutter and organize items. Consider donating or selling items you no longer need. Dust all surfaces, including shelves, light fixtures, ceiling fans, and baseboards. Remove debris from gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage.
