With warm weather on the way, it’s time to think about spring cleaning. Most of us love the idea of opening the windows and airing the house out while doing chores.- Start by bringing all accumulated clutter to a temporary staging area. Begin to divide into piles for organizing, donating, or tossing. All the stuff you don’t love, need, or want is unnecessary. Complete one room at a time to make the task more manageable.
- Next, check your home’s smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Test the batteries and make sure the detectors are properly placed on every floor and near sleeping areas.
- You’ll also want to identify home maintenance issues as you clean your home. Broken window latches, leaky bathroom faucets and loose stair railings are three examples of issues that could cost you money or create safety hazards.
- Finally, update your home inventory list. Take pictures of everything you own, and record serial numbers for electronics. This list helps you purchase adequate home insurance and assists you during damage, loss or theft claims.
Happy Cleaning!
