Sprucing Up This Spring Is Easier Than You Think
Spring has arrived, temperatures are warming and summer is just around the corner. It's the perfect time to shake off the clutter of the holidays and winter and give your home a bright, fresh start.
Here are our tips for a deep clean that will have you ready to show off your home all season.
1. Take It One Room at a Time
Decluttering and reorganizing can feel overwhelming. Make a clear plan for when and how you'll tackle each room. Start small and build momentum. You might set aside a whole weekend for the garage and just an afternoon for the kitchen.
2. Deep Clean From Top to Bottom
Once you've organized and donated what you don't need, it's time to deep clean. Start with this checklist:
- Shake out or replace doormats
- Clean carpets and upholstery
- Wash and polish floors
- Wipe down walls, cabinets and baseboards
- Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Empty, reorganize and clean the refrigerator
For tips on caring for specific surfaces, see our countertop, flooring and cabinet care guide.
3. Don't Skip Basic Maintenance
Spring cleaning is also a great time to check the health of your home's major systems. Schedule service for your HVAC system and water heater, and check for leaks or signs of water damage. A little proactive maintenance prevents emergencies later. Our spring interior maintenance tips have more ideas, and don't forget to give your deck some attention.
4. Know What to Leave to the Pros
Swapping a light fixture or ceiling fan may be an easy DIY. Fixing leaks or repairing a roof is best left to professionals. Spending a little more to do it right will save headaches down the road. See making the right call on DIY.
