Spring Cleaning Tips for Homeowners

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home. Winter leaves behind dirt, mildew and debris, and a little work now makes your home look better and last longer.

1. Start with a plan

Make a checklist and tackle one area at a time:

• Driveways, walkways and patios
• Siding, brick and roof
• Windows and screens
• Gutters
• Decks, fences and outdoor furniture

2. Wash the exterior surfaces

• Driveways and walkways: remove built-up dirt, stains and algae.
• Siding and brick: soft washing removes mold and mildew without damaging the surface.
• Decks and patios: get rid of slippery algae before spring gatherings.

3. Clean windows and screens

Pollen and dust build up fast. Clean glass inside and out, and remove and rinse screens.

4. Refresh outdoor living spaces

• Wash patio furniture with mild soap and water.
• Sweep and wash decks and porches.
• Trim shrubs and trees back from the house.

5. Don’t forget the gutters

Winter debris clogs gutters, which can send water against your fascia and foundation during spring storms. Clear them and flush the downspouts.
