In our previous blog, we talked about why spring is the best time to get a pressure wash. Here, we’ll go over your essential spring checklist for your home exterior. While most people focus on their home’s interior with spring cleaning, it’s important not to neglect your home’s exterior. It is the first part of your home that everyone sees, after all. Plus, you won’t be able to enjoy your time outside in the beautiful spring weather if your home exterior is worse for the wear.
So, without further ado, here’s your essential home exterior spring cleaning checklist.
#1. Schedule Your Window Cleaning
You rely on your windows for so much. You need the natural light to brighten your home’s interior and to help bolster your mood. Each day, you look out of your windows to see what’s going on outside or to enjoy your view, like that cotton candy sunrise. They also impact your home’s curb appeal – dirty windows take away that wow factor you may otherwise enjoy. Plus, like anything else, windows must be regularly cleaned and maintained in order to stay in good condition for as long as possible.
Since dirt and grime build up on your windows so gradually, many homeowners don’t even realize just how dirty their windows were until they have them cleaned. Make sure that you can take full advantage of spring sunshine and those beautiful blooms by scheduling your professional window cleaning service.
#2. Schedule A Professional Pressure Wash
While we’re on the subject of dirt you may not notice, when doing your home exterior spring cleaning, make sure you schedule a professional pressure wash or soft wash. Some people may assume that their home is in need of a fresh coat of paint when all it really needs is a good clean. Spruce it up by hiring the pros to clean it, from the roof all the way down to the driveway.
#3. Clean Your Gutters
When doing your home exterior spring cleaning, don’t forget about your gutters. You want to ensure that they have proper drainage throughout the year. You’ll want to clean out any leaves and other such debris that could have ended up in there during the winter months. You’ll also want to check for damage that snow and ice could have caused. If there is any, you can have it fixed so that your gutters can continue to function properly.
#4. Clean Out The Garage
It’s easy to let clutter accumulate in your garage, especially during the winter. However, come spring, you’ll want to be able to dig out your gardening supplies. This makes cleaning out the garage a key part of your home exterior spring cleaning. Put any holiday decorations into storage, go through your items to see if anything should be donated, sold, or thrown away, and do a thorough clean.
#5. Clean Your Outdoor Furniture And Decorations
If you left your outdoor furniture and decorations out during the winter, you’ll want to put cleaning them on your home exterior spring cleaning checklist. Failure to do so will result in your things not lasting as long as they otherwise would and increased risk of damage. Clean as needed, and take stock to see if anything should be replaced.
#6. Refresh Soil And Mulch
Don’t forget your landscaping in your home exterior spring cleaning. Soil and mulch can decompose over time, making your landscape lackluster. Refresh soil and mulch as needed in order to help your lawn and gardens flourish.
#7. Get Rid Of Dead Plants
While we’re on the subject of your landscape, this is also a good time to get rid of dead plants and weeds. If there’s any overgrowth on your trees and shrubs, you’ll want to time them. If you’re planning on planting new flowers or other plants, you’ll want to get rid of anything dead in order to make room.
