Spring is here, and now is a great time to get your home and
yard ready for the months to come. Even though the days are getting longer,
there’s still limited time each day, so these task are easy to accomplish on a weekend.

WASH WINDOWS/CLEAN WINDOW COVERS

Windows are a vital part of your home in the winter; it’s no
secret they take the brunt of inclement weather, building up dust and dirt during
the winter months. Kickstart your spring with a deep clean, both inside and
out, of your home’s windows.

After attacking the windows, clean your window coverings.
Wash or dry clean draperies, vacuum cellular blinds, or dust and wipe down wood
shutters.

CLEAN UP CLUTTER

We all love our belongings, but our homes can become pretty
cluttered during the winter months. Take a couple minutes to assess each area
of your home, and make a list of items that can be stored away until Autumn.
Put away heavy winter clothing; sweep, mop, or vacuum heavily trafficked areas,
and do a quick clean up of any items that are out of place.

The trees are budding and the spring bulbs are bursting through
the soil. Bring the beauty of the season inside with a vase of beautiful spring
flowers (allergies, children, and pets permitting).
