🧹🧺 Spring Cleaning Tips 🏡✨

Out with the Old—Spring Cleaning is Here!

As winter fades and your home emerges from its cozy, closed-up state, now is the perfect time to dive into a vibrant spring cleaning routine. This season of fresh starts is all about refreshing your space, boosting your mood, and leveling up your well-being with some energetic tidying.

Spring cleaning goes beyond the usual to-do list—it’s a chance to tackle the areas that often get overlooked:

Focus on:

Cleaning windows and sills
Window treatments
Carpets and rugs
Light fixtures
Baseboards
Fireplaces

Don’t forget to:

Move furniture to vacuum underneath
Use special attachments to clean upholstery and drapes
Declutter closets—donate or toss unused clothing, shoes, and accessories
Power-wash your home’s exterior
Polish floors and touch up cabinets with stain filler
Flip mattresses and clean or replace pads, pillows, and bedding
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace batteries if needed
Schedule a professional check-up for your HVAC system
Clear gutters of debris left behind by winter storms

A little extra effort now can go a long way in keeping your home happy, healthy, and ready for the season ahead!
