It's that Time Again to start Spring Cleaning 

Are you Ready?

 

Every year about this time we look around the house and yard and say, "Oh, I have to get going and clean this up".  We also call this Spring Cleaning.

 

Some simple tips to get going are as follows:

 

WINDOWS -- Sparkle your windows with a mix of dish soap and water. Squeegee them clean for a beautiful finish.

 

REFRIGERATOR -- Move it and clean under it.

 

SMOKE ALARMS -- Check batteries and clean the unit.

 

WEBBIES (Fuzz-Bunnies) -- Get in the corners and clean out the cobwebs that may have accumulated on the walls.

 

BEDROOMS -- Open the windows. Flip the mattresses. Spot clean and replace any toppers.

 

OUTSIDE -- Mulch and Trim.

 

FLOOR CORNERS -- They catch everything.  Spring is the time to clean them  up.

 

KITCHEN HINT:  Be sure to save the stove for last.  Cleaning the kitchen requires going over many surfaces from cabinets to countertops. The dirtiest place in the kitchen is the stove. Save it for last so you don't end up cleaning with a sponge or dish towel that has grease and grime.

 

Now is the time to think about putting your house on the Market!  Give me a call when you are ready and I'll be happy to provide you with a market analysis and professional opinion of your home's value and expected sale price.

Good list.  Much of what many new homeowners never think about.

 Oh OH I just ordered the wrong equiptment. I ordered a dump truck, backhoe and street sweeper. A little over kill I guess. LOL

@Rob D. Shepherd ... LOL, oh yeah, I think you were thinking of a bigger project than a little sweat equity.  But those could be needed for a future project! You never know!

Diana, somehow your list did not seem too intimidating; in fact, rather motivating. Have to admit, I hate Spring cleaning. Perhaps the answer to it is to 'get ahead of it' and not behind. Your post is a nice gentle push. Thank you.

Jane Chaulklin-Schott Thanks.  The goal was to keep it simple.  Otherwise it never gets done.  It's too easy to get overwhelmed in the details.

Diana, great list, and it sure feels good when the whole house is clean!   I hired a cleaning crew, as the business is crazy right now, and don't have time.

Joan Cox Ah!  Now that's a great idea.  Why didn't I think of that?  Right now I think I need an Assistant!
