That extra sunlight is turning a spotlight on some areas of your home that could use some deeper cleaning. To stop it from feeling overwhelming, we have a checklist that you can use to get all of those areas that often get missed in regular cleaning. Spread it out over a few weekends or split up the tasks among multiple family members and soon you\u2019ll have a sparkling home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Windows and Treatments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: All of your windows probably need to be cleaned, inside and out, and that includes shades, blinds, and curtains, as well as the casements and don\u2019t forget the sliding door tracks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Carpets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hire a professional or rent a carpet cleaner and give all of your carpets and rugs a deep clean. Don\u2019t forget to move big furniture and clean underneath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lights and Overlooked Surfaces<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Now is a good time to dust and clean all of your light fixtures. While you\u2019re at it, clean overlooked spots such as door frames, baseboards, trim, and walls.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Update Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you haven\u2019t checked recently, now is a good time to put in fresh batteries for smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, flashlights, and make sure your fire extinguisher is still good, or purchase one if you don\u2019t have one.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exterior<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Give your outdoor furniture a good cleaning so it\u2019s ready to use. You may also want to powerclean the exterior of your home and deck or patio. Make sure gutters are clean, and touch up any paint.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bedrooms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: As you start to get rid of layers of winter blankets, be sure to clean them whether you do it yourself or take it to a dry cleaner. Now is also a good time to clean your pillows and mattress pads. You should also flip or rotate your mattress and vacuum it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bathrooms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Get rid of items that are past their date or not working anymore. Straighten up drawers and linen closets, clean or replace mats and liners, and wash shower curtains.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Kitchen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Organize the pantry, clean out cabinets and drawers and put down fresh liner paper, toss expired food items, and clean the fridge, including dusting the coils behind or under it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is the time to make sure everything has a place and to get rid of junk and clutter. It\u2019s a good time to look for new storage solutions, as well, if there are items that don\u2019t have a convenient place. With a bit of elbow grease, your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/lifestylehomebuilders.com\/new-home-communities\/new-homes-chesterfield-va-harpers-mill\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homes in Chesterfield VA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will have that new-home look.
