Spring Cleaning 101: Areas to Focus on This Season

As you set about your cleaning tasks this spring, you should focus not only on the inside of your home, but outside it as well. This way, you can easily help it make a bigger impression from the curb. But which outdoor areas should you pay attention to exactly? 

Fences

Stop your fences from being an eyesore with a bit of cleaning and sprucing up. Make sure to rake the leaves and other debris away from their base, and then hose or scrub off any mud. Are they cracked and sagging? Have them repaired or replaced as necessary. If they’re already peeling, refresh their look with a new coat of paint or sealant.

Gutters

Given the essential role your gutters play to keep your home safe and intact from water damage, you’ll want to make it one of your top-priority areas for spring cleaning. Spring showers are ahead, so make sure they are clear and ready to handle the runoff. But gutter cleaning is a tiring and extensive task, so why not leave the work to a pro? Gutter professionals have the experience and tools to make this job easier and faster.

Windows

They are one of your home’s most visible design elements, so keep them shining and clean this spring. Window cleaning is simple enough. You only need to use a spray bottle full of mild cleaning solution, a soft cloth for washing and a clean, lint-free cloth for drying. Do the window cleanup on a cloudy day – otherwise, the cleaning solution will dry too quickly and leave streaks on the glass.
