\u00a0at least once every 6 months; during spring cleaning might be the best time to do so.<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Dust Thoroughly – <\/b><\/strong>Dust every part of your home, including hard-to-reach places, such as the top of the shelves or the tight spots in your home. Work your way from top to bottom, inside and out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Clean Windows and Window Treatments <\/b><\/strong>– Scrub window screens with a brush and detergent. Don\u2019t forget to wash curtains and draperies, or wipe blinds as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Sweep, Vacuum, and Mop Floors<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0– More than keeping your floors clean, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping can help get rid of debris that can cause scratches to it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Declutter <\/b><\/strong>– Organise your wardrobe, clean out the cabinets, and toss any items you no longer use: old clothes, toys, broken appliances. Make sure to relocate anything that doesn\u2019t belong in a room.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Repair Any Damage<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0– Whether it\u2019s a leak in the faucet, broken window glass, termite damage, or missing roof shingles, don\u2019t let them go unnoticed this spring cleaning. Get them repaired ASAP.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
