Spring Cleaning: 10 Steps To Get Your Home Clean In A Day

As we get ready to enter May, we’ll welcome the nice weather along with it. Regardless of if you are active in the Windsor real estate market or not, it represents a great time to get cleaning. If you are thinking of buying and searching for houses for sale in Windsor, you might want to start organizing your own things. If you are thinking of selling your Windsor home, it’s a chance to freshen up and get ready for showings. Finally, you could be happy right where you are and simply, want to spruce up your home for the spring and summer.

Buyer, seller, staying put, it doesn’t matter for spring cleaning so we’ve got 10 great tips to get your home clean and fresh this spring below.

Cabinets: Over time things like dust and grime can build up inside your cabinets. Whether they are in the kitchen, bathroom, or storage, empty them out, wipe and clean them, throw out what you do not need, and organize the remaining items.
Windows: Don’t just give the insides a wipe down and call t it a day. Use a window cleaner to get rid of any residue buildup both inside and out. Tip, doing it on a cloudy day can help prevent them from drying too quickly.
Countertops: If you have granite countertops, make sure they are still sealed. An easy test is if water beads up on top and makes droplets. If not, it’s time to re-seal and prevent stains.
Wood Floors: Don’t over wet wash wood floors, doing so can damage your flooring. Spot clean as necessary and use dry cleaning methods between wet washes.
Bedding: We all know to change sheets and pillowcases often, but don’t forget your pillows and comforter. Read the tags and wash them 2 or 3 times a year to keep them fresh!
Stainless Steel: Do yourself a favour and get a good stainless steel cleaner and use it once a week. It will keep the appliances shiny and looking like the day you bought them.
Tiles: No one likes cleaning the grout but it has to be done. A simple baking soda and water mix works wonders and can help this dreaded task go a bit faster.
Carpet: Your carpets LOOK clean, but are they? Look to a professional carpet cleaner or even rent one yourself from a local hardware store to get your carpets resfreshed and a deep clean for the spring.
The Fridge: This means the outside AND inside. Give the exterior a wipe, but make sure you go in, empty the inside, take the shelves out and give it a good clean. Maybe throw away that potato growing another potato too.
Area Rugs: We’re not done taking carpet. Less trafficked rugs don't need cleaning often outside of a vacuum. Tip, you can do quick spot cleans with some club soda.

There you have it, 10 steps for spring cleaning you can get done in as little as one day.
