Spring is just three short weeks away. With the mild weather we’ve been having, we thought you may want to get ahead on your spring cleaning. However, spring cleaning is usually concentrated on the inside of your home. This year, instead of going through your interior with a fine tooth comb and leaving the exterior generally out of the picture, we thought we would provide you with an exterior spring cleaning checklist for you to follow:
__ Clean any debris off of your roof
__ Remove any moss growing on your roof
__ Clean your gutters thoroughly
__ Pressure wash your siding
__ Wash your windows on the exterior
__ Pressure wash your decks, porches, and walkways
__ Scrub down your front door
__ Replace broken or dead lightbulbs
__ Clean any debris and leaves from your lawn
__ Remove dead leaves, weeds, and other debris from your perennials
__ Fertilize your lawn
__ Add compost to any beds that have lain dormant over the winter
__ Sharpen your gardening tools
__ Clean/declutter your gardening shed and/or garage
__ Clean out your barbecue and get it ready for use
__ Clean off your outdoor furniture and put anything weatherproof outside
__ Plant up your borders, window boxes, and/or garden beds
__ Check for and repair any holes or loose spots in your fencing
__ Do any DIY updates like painting the front door or shutters
This checklist will get you ready to enjoy the milder weather while giving your yard and your home a facelift for the new season!
