The East Texas weather can be…unpredictable, especially in the spring and summer months. One day is rainy or windy and the next is bright and sunny.
This uncertain weather can make your cleaning checklist difficult to manage. But not to worry - Hunt Homes Group has compiled the ultimate spring and summer home cleaning checklist just for you.
Spring and Summer Home Cleaning Checklist
Change Your AC Vent & Clean the Coils
Prepare for the summer heat by giving your AC unit some love. Change out the vent and clean the coils to keep your unit running at maximum capacity. Doing these simple steps can add years to the life of your unit.
Get Organized
Before you tackle the dust and grime in your home, take a minute to pick up the clutter. Putting away loose stuff or getting rid of items you don’t need means you have to clean less later.
Check for Leaky Faucets
Take a couple of minutes to check for hidden leaks under your sink and on your washer hose connection. If you find a leak, repair it quickly to avoid getting mold or mildew in your cabinets.
Wash Home Fabrics
Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate in the fabrics around your home. Make your home a dust and dirt-free zone by washing comforters, blankets, towels, bedding, furniture, and carpets.
Seal Windows and Doors
Keep the heat out of your home by sealing up your windows and doors. This sealing can also keep out unwanted rain and moisture.
Switch Out Seasonal Items
Break out the spring and summer items and box up the winter items until next season. Swap out those heavy blankets and comforters for lighter, cooler versions. These small changes can quickly usher in the new seasons.
Vacuum and Dust
Wipe away all the dust and dirt with a thorough vacuuming and dusting. Get in all the corners, behind furniture, and under chairs for a sparkling clean home. You’ll be amazed by how much you pick up.
Clean Out Gutters
Keep the water runoff flowing by cleaning out the debris in your gutters. This crucial cleaning task can keep rainwater in the gutters instead of inside your home.
Dust Lights and Fans
Even light fixtures and fans can accumulate dust over time. Give them a good dusting to breathe in the freshness.
Tackle Your Yard Maintenance
When the summer sun comes out, your yard starts to bloom. Keep your yard looking great by tidying up your landscaping, mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, and trimming plants.
Clean Out the Garage
Even the garage needs some attention now and again. It’s time to toss the old chemicals, nick-nacks, and junk that’s cluttering up your garage. After a sweep and a wash, you’ll have a fresh new place to park.
Check for “Clean Up” Days at Your Local Municipality
Your local municipality may have clean-up days during the spring and summer that you can take advantage of. Typically, the city will pick up bulky items to throw away so you don’t have to haul them off yourself.
You may also be able to participate in local events to clean up the city, which is a fun way to give back to your community.
With these tips, you can start your spring and summer off on the right foot.
