Prepare your home for Spring

Spring cleaning can be a daunting task. However, if you prepare your home for the season before it gets too warm, you'll save yourself from an overwhelming mess.
Clean windows, doors and frames
Clean windows, doors and frames. Vinegar and water are an effective combination for cleaning glass surfaces. Mix one part vinegar with three parts water in a spray bottle, then use the mixture to clean your windows. Use a squeegee to remove excess water from the window and dry it with a soft cloth when you're finished cleaning it. If you want to do touch-ups after this initial cleaning process, try using rubbing alcohol instead of vinegar; it works just as well but smells better!
Clean window screens (if applicable). Screens should be removed from their frames whenever possible so that they can be thoroughly cleaned without damaging any part of your home's interior design aesthetic.
Wash your floor
Washing your floors is a great way to prepare for spring. While you're at it, give them a good scrubbing with hot water and soap (you can use dish detergent). Then wipe them down with a dry cloth in case there are any streaks left behind by the cleaning solution.
If you need more help getting rid of tough spots or stains, consider using vinegar and baking soda instead of harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. They're both effective at removing dirt without damaging your hardwood floors' finish.
Remove winter coats and heavy blankets from the room
Remove winter coats and heavy blankets from the room. If you have a closet or storage space that is large enough to store your winter clothing, then it's best to put them away there. However, if your house does not have enough space for this, then consider buying some extra shelves for your bedroom wall.
You could also use an old dresser drawer or chest of drawers as an additional storage place for these items during the warmer months when they aren't needed anymore. Make sure that whatever container you choose has enough room inside so that everything fits comfortably without being crammed together tightly (this will save wear-and-tear on your belongings).
Dust ceiling fans, vents, light switch covers and door knobs.
Use a duster to remove dust from ceiling fans, vents and light switch covers. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush attachment on the hose attachment to clean off fan blades and other hard-to-reach areas. If that doesn't work well enough for you, dampen a rag with water or vinegar to help cut through some of the grease buildup and wipe down those surfaces until they look clean again.
Spring cleaning is a great way to get your home ready for the warm weather. It's also a great way to get rid of clutter, so you can start the year fresh and enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by clutter.
Spring cleaning isn't just about getting rid of old items, it's also about making sure everything in your home works properly. If something needs repair or replacement, now's the time to do it before summer rolls around again!
If you want to enjoy the spring, it's time to do some cleaning. This will not only make your home look good, but also allow you to breathe fresh air and feel more relaxed.
