Winter Maintenance: When the winter thaw arrives, it’s important to focus on indoor upkeep while getting the garden ready for spring. This involves refreshing rooms, removing allergens, and improving the look of five key areas.
Key Areas to Address: Make sure to clean windows and treatments first, including glass, sills, frames, and drapes. Then, tackle HVAC vents by vacuuming and dusting thoroughly, and consider professional duct cleaning for severe allergies or asthma. Next, clean furniture and walls, paying attention to hidden dirt and stains. After that, keep carpets and upholstery clean by vacuuming, mopping, and using appropriate cleaning products or shampoo. Lastly, don’t forget to dust ceiling fans to prevent spreading allergens and mold, ensuring a well-maintained home.
