Spring is a time of renewal, and what better way to embrace this season than by doing some spring cleaning around your home? Whether you’re a home buyer or seller, now is the perfect time to get your home ready for the new season by following some simple spring cleaning tips.
From decluttering to deep cleaning to organizing your closets to tackling your outdoor space, these tips will help you make your home look and feel its best. So, grab the trash bags, gloves, and cleaning supplies, and let’s get your property ready for a new season!
#1: Declutter.
Before you can even really think about cleaning your home, you need to declutter first. Take a look at each room and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. Donate or sell items that are still in good condition, and throw away anything that’s broken or no longer functional. This will not only free up space but also make it easier to clean and organize your home.
#2: Deep clean carpets and floors.
Carpets and floors are some of the most heavily used areas in your home, and they can accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, and grime over time. Give them a deep clean with a vacuum, steam cleaner, or professional carpet cleaning service. You’ll be surprised at how much fresher and cleaner your home will look and feel afterward.
#3: Clean walls and ceilings.
Walls and ceilings can also collect dust, cobwebs, and other yuckiness. Use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove any dust from walls and ceilings. If you have any stains or marks on your walls, use a mild cleaning solution to remove them. Always do a spot test first, though!
#4: Spend time on windows – inside and out.
Let the sunshine in by cleaning your windows inside and out. Use a window cleaning solution and a squeegee or microfiber cloth to get rid of any streaks or smudges. This will not only make your home look brighter and more inviting but also improve your indoor air quality.
#5: Organize closets and cabinets.
Closets and cabinets can become cluttered quickly, making it difficult to find what you need. Take some time to organize your closets and cabinets by grouping similar items together and labeling them. This will make it easier to find what you need and keep everything tidy. Be sure to get rid of things as you go, too!
#6: Tackle outdoor spaces.
Spring is the perfect time to get your outdoor space ready for the warmer months (and hosting barbecues) ahead. Sweep away debris, trim overgrown shrubs and trees, and power wash your patio or deck. Add some potted plants or flowers to brighten up your outdoor space and make it more inviting.
Spring cleaning your home is a great way to refresh and renew your property, especially if you’re looking to sell. By following these tips, you can get your home in top shape and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Don’t forget to take before and after pictures to see the transformation and enjoy your newly cleaned home!
