What Should Be On My Spring Cleaning Checklist?

Spring is the time of year when we deep clean our homes and businesses. Brighter sunlight means that the dirt and dust of winter will be all too apparent, and with the longer days, we have more time to complete these kinds of projects, too. Your Nashville home or business will look and feel better after a deep Spring cleaning.

The best way to prepare for a big project like Spring cleaning is to make a list of everything that needs to be accomplished. Before you start your checklist, here are some things you need to do:

What Are Some Preparations I Should Make Before I start My Spring Cleaning Project?

Before you get out your notepad and pen, you need to take stock of what will require your attention.

Inspect your exterior. Look for damage, mold, discoloration, and needed repairs on your building exterior. Roofing, windows, doors, walkways, and parking areas need to be inspected closely. While you complete your cleaning tasks you can make arrangements for repairs to be done at a later date.
Inspect your interior. Your flooring has probably taken a beating during the wet months of winter.

Examine carpets, rugs, linoleum, and wooden surfaces to see what will need to be done. Each type of flooring requires different cleaning products and methods, so be sure to note what you will want to have on hand.
Walls and baseboards will need to be assessed and cleaning arranged. You may need to paint, too.
Windows, windowsills, and window treatments – such as blinds, shutters, drapery, etc. – will probably need to be refreshed, so take a look and see if they need to be on your list.

Inspect your closets and storage. Cleaning out storage and closets is another important part of Spring cleaning.
Door and window tracks are places that collect dust and dirt during bad weather, so check these out, too.
