Spring Cleaning Inside and Out…Where to Start?
If you are starting to enjoy spring in the air in your Moorpark, CA home, you might start to get that itch. It’s time to begin the spring cleaning process! But with so many possible projects at hand, where should you start? Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Outside
You want the outside of your home to look fresh and clean, just like the spring buds that are starting to sprout. There are a lot of things you can do in order to make that dream a reality.
-Landscaping
Since the weather is generally nice in Moorpark, CA, your landscaping is something you maintain throughout the year. But as spring comes around, you’ll want to prune back any dead branches and pick away fallen leaves. Get your landscaping into shape and it will make a huge difference on the curb appeal of your home.
-Siding
With the rain the area receives, keeping your siding clean is a losing battle, but it’s one you must fight in order to win the appearance you want for your home. Rinse your siding down every season and you’ll enjoy the aesthetic appeal your home holds.
-Windows
Depending on your window material, you will need to do a variety of different types of spring cleaning. If you have vinyl windows, the process is easy. You just wipe down the windows to get the winter dirt off the frames. If you have wood windows, spring is a good time to scrap, paint, and stain the windows in order to get them in shape before the weather gets too warm.
Inside
Once the outside of your house is looking good and ready for summer, it’s time to move inside and get a few projects done there as well. There are probably more than you can count, but if you can get a few in, you’re doing pretty well!
-Dust
Dusting isn’t something very many people enjoy, but after a winter where the windows were closed more often than not, the dust can accumulate. Try to get around the entire house and hit areas you don’t always get, like around statues and books.
-Purge
Spring is a great time to get rid of things with plenty of garage sales on the horizon. Go through your closet, boxes that are just sitting around, and anything else you can get your hands on and get rid of things you no longer use or need.
-Windows
You will want to clean the inside of your windows as well so you can watch the lovely spring weather take hold outside. Clean the glass thoroughly and if you have double-hung windows, you can easily tilt the exterior glass into the house to clean it as well.
Taking care of spring cleaning is a chore, but it pays off when you have a spic and span house inside and out!
