As spring rolls in, many homeowners make time to perform a thorough cleaning of their property. A clean house may help you feel more organized and productive, positioning yourself for success for the rest of the year. Although hiring a maid will make the space sparkle, there are steps you can take before they arrive to make sure your home is as clean as possible.

How to Get a Clean House This Spring

1. Store Whatever You Can

Look through each room, and put anything that won’t be used for a while into storage. Box holiday decorations and travel gear, as they likely won’t be used for months. If your kids are grown and out of the house, comb through their belongings and store sentimental items, such as graduation caps and sporting trophies.

2. Toss Old Clothes

Most people have dressers and closets with clothes they don’t wear anymore. Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to get rid of anything that’s outdated and damaged or doesn’t fit. If some garments are still in good condition, sell them online or donate them to a local charity.

3. Go Through Your Food

Your fridge may have several jars and bottles that are past their expiration date. Remove everything from the shelves and drawers, and wipe them down with a damp paper towel. Check the dates on everything, and only put back what’s edible. Take the same approach with the canned and dry goods in your pantry.

4. Power Wash the Exterior

Over time, driveways and walkways become coated in dust, dirt, and natural debris. These substances severely diminish your property’s overall curb appeal. Rent or buy power washing equipment and use a mild soap to quickly remove the built-up grime around your property, preparing it for a fresh start for the spring.
