To get your springtime cleaning started, here are some essential cleaning and maintenance tips to keep your home and property pristine:

  • Exterior Inspection and Maintenance:
    - Walk around your property and inspect the exterior for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the foundation, loose shingles on the roof, or peeling paint.
    - Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage and clogging.
    - Trim trees and bushes away from the house to prevent damage from overhanging branches and promote airflow.
  • Windows and Doors:
    - Clean windows inside and out to let more natural light in and improve your home's appearance.
    - Check for any gaps or cracks around windows and doors, and seal them with caulk or weatherstripping to improve energy efficiency.
    - Lubricate hinges and tracks to ensure smooth operation.
  • HVAC System Maintenance:
    - Change air filters to improve indoor air quality and help your HVAC system run more efficiently.

    - Vacuum and shampoo carpets, and clean upholstery to remove built-up dirt and allergens.
    - Clean light fixtures, ceiling fans, and blinds to eliminate dust and improve indoor air quality.
