If you want to get involved in spring cleaning, here are some tips to help you along the way:
Internal work:
1. Storm Windows
Your storm window has been up now. I guess the last time you opened your window was between September and early October. This is the right time to destroy the storm window. After a cold, rainy, snow, sleet, ice, the temperature is the main figure, and sometimes cold below zero during the season.The idea of opening a window and allowing fresh air into your home sounds good.
2. Mop and Dust in every room in the house
After dealing with people who follow snow, salt, and dirt while walking inside in the winter, spring is the right time to use a mop to clean the floor. Get a mop, rag and cleaning products (Pine Sol, Windex, Clorox, and others) and get messy if you have carpets in the living room and dining room floor.Use a vacuum cleaner to sweep the dirt in each room to get rid of dirt and Other debris. If you don’t want to do that, hire a professional carpet cleaner to do the job.
3. Clean the attic and basement
Yes, it is painful to clean both the attic and basement because you have to move things around while trying to decide what to treat and what to throw away. But this work is valuable due to two reasons: 1) You can create a lot of space in both points and 2) You can make money off items that are left behind by yard sales methods. It’s like the old saying that “Another person’s trash is another’s property”
4. Clean the closet and dresser drawers
We all have clothes that are no longer worn, too small, too big; Or never had a chance to wear at all, and now it’s stylish If you want to make space in your closet for a new outfit, why not donate old clothes, shoes, hats, belts, jewelry and more to Salvation Army, Goodwill, or an economical store? The same thing for your dresser drawers. You have to clean the top and the inside of each drawer so you don’t have to create space. But still able to close it without anything emerging
5. Down the winter curtain
Thick curtains act in the winter to protect us from the cold air / breeze from entering our home. Now is the time to put down heavy curtains and install lightweight curtains so that when the windows open, we can feel the warmth of spring.
6. Clean the ceiling fan
If you have a ceiling fan, clean it often. There is nothing more embarrassing than having a coworker go to your home and when you turn on the fan, the dust will come out of the fan handle and your guests will see debris falling to the ground. To save the embarrassment, request a rag and clean each fan blade at least once a week.
Take it outside:
1. Take down Christmas lights and decorations
If you haven’t already decorated Christmas lights or outdoor decorations especially now, if the weather in your city or town is quite good during the cold season, do it immediately. You do not want to be someone who still has their Christmas decorations when outside 75-80 degrees.
2. Rake up limbs in the tree
Your front and back garden (if any) may be covered by branches, leaves, garbage and other debris left over during the winter. All you have to do is grab a rubbish bag, broom, rake, shovel and strong trash and take care of the business. When you have finished this mission, you may think of mowing. Now, if your lawn is in bad condition, use grass seeds to help the grass grow during the spring and summer. (Experts say that the best time to use grass seeds is in November and December because of rain, snow and hail. Make the grass grow faster But that shouldn’t stop you from adding grass seeds now)
3. Planting flowers, trees, shrubs, shrubs, trees and lawn maintenance
If you have a green thumb and like the idea of working with plants outdoors, this is yours. Spring is a wonderful thing to grow flowers and trees, add seeds to the soil for planting vegetables, and if you decide to do this, add shrubs and shrubs. Spring is the season in which the grass grows very fast. So you have to mow the grass at least once a week until June, where the grass doesn’t grow fast. As a homeowner it is very important to have a well-maintained lawn because it gives the impression you care about your community.
4. Define patio furniture
It is tricky to remove patio furniture from your garage or basement. But it’s worthwhile to set a chair and an outdoor table, especially after being made in the house throughout the winter and at the same time you hope to. Sitting outside during the spring is nice and warm. Make sure you wash all the chairs and tables with soap and water after you have placed them outside. In addition, if you have cushions for chairs, wash and wipe down as well.
5. Clean the BBQ grill.
Unless you use the grill during the winter because you miss the barbecue, you probably haven’t used it since Labor Day. Before the first barbecue, thoroughly clean the grill with soap and water. Make sure that there is no dust, spider webs, etc. in your sieve. After a while, you will get a clean and sparkling grill, and within a short amount of time, cooking in the spring and summer will become common in your home. Now, if your grill is either old or on the last leg, my advice is that you invest again. Check your local newspaper or online for some great deals on the grill.
6. Cleaning the garage
Just like the attic and basement, cleaning a garage is a big headache, because we all put a lot of things in it. “I have to clean the garage” and we have never been anywhere. Well, today is the day to clean up. Yes, it can be a day job (or a 2-3 day job depending on how much you have) but it is worth it. Begin by creating a pile of items to keep and things to discard. Then get rid of any boxes and trash that you may have in the garage. Next, decide if you want to sell a garage for the items you need to throw or not. Who knows, for example, yard sales that were described earlier, you can make money from abandoned items. In the end, when you have finished working, see if you are satisfied with the garage or not. Keep it until you feel that it is completely flawless.
