It’s that time of the year again. ‘Tis the season of spring cleaning! An enjoyable time for some and a less enjoyable time for others. If you don’t have enough time to clean your house from top to bottom, or maybe the thought of bringing out the cleaning supplies is already overwhelming, do not fear. We’re here to help you get your priorities straight for this year’s spring routine.

Today we’re going to talk about the top 5 must-do tasks to get your house ready for the summer. We hope this helps you manage all of your tasks better and focus on what’s most important when it comes to having the shiniest and most functional home on the block.

1. Dust those up-and-hard-to-reach areas

This is something that most homeowners seem to neglect, yet it’s very crucial when maintaining a clean household. Light fixtures, ceilings, fans and the spots above your kitchen cabinets. All of these areas are important to clean because as dust accumulates over time, it is more likely that it will circulate in your home. This means you will be more exposed to germs that can cause illness. People with allergies should make note of this. Dust accumulates fast, so make sure to get on top of this ASAP.
To start cleaning those areas, all you need is your duster, a cleaning cloth and a ladder. If you don’t have access to a ladder however, use a long dusting wand. This will allow you to clean up top from the safety of your floor.

2. Clean behind your appliances

It’s important to clean your appliances, but it is equally important to clean behind and around them. Similar to the upper areas, the space behind appliances such as the refrigerator, oven and the washing machine are also neglected by most homeowners. This is likely due to how tedious it can be to get back there. Nonetheless, dusting and cleaning in those hard-to-reach areas is crucial. It is very easy for dust, dirt and crumbs to accumulate there. Even if you don’t see a point in doing this, house cleaning experts say that it can make all the difference in a clean house.
Make sure to be careful when moving your appliances out of the way. Grab your vacuum and your duster and keep that space tidy as we move into summer. If you can, try to get underneath your appliances as well. The more dust you get rid of, the cleaner your home and even your air will be.

3. Wash your windows

To get that sparkling look from the outside of your house, clean windows are a must. Over the course of winter, tons of grime can accumulate around your windows, leaving them with a dirty look. This is bad news because the windows in a house are probably the first thing one might notice as they enter the front door. Therefore, it is very important to clean them.

Eavestroughs, or gutters, protect your home and your lawn from water damage. It does this by moving excess water from rain away from your property. So why is this important for spring cleaning? What happens when you leave this part of your home unchecked? Well, it is likely that your gutters will be filled with debris that can create a blockage over the course of a year.
