Spring Cleaning Checklist

You are here:

Doing a detailed spring clean up is a great way to awake from your winter slump and prepare for the bright summer ahead. You probably have collected a whole lot of junk over the winter and now is the time to go through everything and clear out. It’s also a great opportunity for a deep clean, not just what’s visible right in front of your eyes but in the dark corners of home.
