Nothing says “I love you!” like a bit of home maintenance, am I right? If a little pre-spring cleaning is your jam like it is mine, now is the perfect time to get a head start. ⁣

• Freshen indoor paint on walls, cabinets, doors, and trim.⁣

• Clean and reorganize your laundry room, so it’s clutter-free and more efficient.⁣

• Clean the air duct that connects the back of your dryer to the outside vents.⁣

• Clean the refrigerator condenser coils at the back or on the bottom of the appliance.⁣

• Clean the range hood filter and fan.⁣

• Clean and degrease kitchen cabinets.⁣

• Clean garbage disposal by running it with crushed ice to sharpen, then with baking soda and citrus peels.⁣

• Vacuum the box springs and the mattress top and bottom. Rotate or flip the mattress.⁣

• Check caulking and grout around sinks, showers, and tubs⁣

• Inspect the roof (with a friend’s help holding the ladder) for missing shingles and damaged vent boots.⁣

• Check the foundation for cracks that can cause significant issues when spring rains arrive.⁣

• Test carbon monoxide and smoke detectors; replace batteries as needed.⁣

Keeping your home looking beautiful is a year-round endeavor! Curious about the improvements that add the most value in your neighborhood? Send me a DM. I’d love to share what I’m seeing s as we head into spring.
