Spring Cleaning Checklist
Posted on May 25, 2021
Cleaning and organizing your home can help keep your immune system strong, boost your mood, and offer a task that promotes focus and reflection. With summertime quickly approaching, now is your last chance to tackle spring cleaning! Please utilize this helpful checklist by Living NC Real Estate.
Indoors:
☐ Get down and dirty by scrubbing those baseboards, trim, doors, walls, and handles.
☐ Scared to look at those air filters after the long winter? Take a deep breath and swap them out with fresh new ones.
☐ Clean the blinds slate-by-slate (yes, it’s a PAIN) and wash, or easier yet, dry-clean window treatments.
☐ Get the grime and slime off kitchen cabinets with a top-to-bottom wipe down.
☐ Flip mattresses and, while you’re at it, wash ALL your bed linens (mattress pads and pillow shams included)
Outdoors:
☐ Have a look at your gutters and downspouts for winter damage and debris. (You’ll def want a buddy to hold the ladder.)
☐ Inspect wooden decks, railings, windowsills, and steps for damage or rot.
☐ Pressure wash patios, decks, driveway, and outdoor furniture. (Pressure washing is awesome. Seriously. You’ve gotta try it.)
☐ Tune up any lawn maintenance equipment (and send up a prayer that everything will crank)!
☐ Clear the front entryway of bugs and cobwebs. Go on and throw up a colorful spring wreath and welcome mat, too!
