Spring Cleaning
The flowers are blooming, the birds are serenading, and your house still feels like it's stuck with winter blues. Spring cleaning is a tradition that allows you to freshen up you home and get a head start on the hectic seasons of spring and summer. What do you need help with, spring cleaning?
Spring Cleaning is like a regular house cleaning with a focus on more details. We included our suggestions below.
Kitchen/All Living Areas
• Dust down the ceiling and corners of walls
We we will determine if the walls need washed in dirty spots. Spot wash, remembering air vents, doorknobs, doors, switch plates. Walls will likely need to be washed more often in this room than in others. You may not have noticed that the hand mixer or blender sloshed goop all over the wall. We will take this spring cleaning time now to clean the grease, grime, and spilled food from your walls.
