Resolving Hair-Pulling House Cleaning Dilemmas: Part 1
By House Cleaning Expert Cindy Inman aka “Ask Cindy How”
Spruce up the front porch. April represents the beginning of a new season. As the weather becomes warm, we spend more time outside. Make your front porch more welcoming for yourself and visitors by sprucing it up. A few basic tasks can make a huge difference.
Additional Recommendations:
- Dust & clean the front door, shake out the welcome mat, and strategically place some plants on the porch. Add a chair or create a leisurely sitting set up if you have the space. A beautifully designed, clean, and effective doormat is a lovely way to greet the members of your household and visiting guests.
- The all-important windows & screens: During the winter, dirt, grime, & dust particles have accumulated on our windows, doors, and screens. So let’s take advantage of a warm-weather day by giving these items some cleaning love. You’ll appreciate looking out of your windows or through the screen door to enjoy the transitional spring views with striking clarity!
- Seasonal organization for every room: Removing items lightens up a space. For example, remove heavy winter throws & blankets to make the room appear lighter for spring. Further, note what you have and get rid of anything old or worn out. This process also involves evaluating & selecting household & decorative items in good order that are no longer useful for your homes’ agenda. These selected items can be repurposed for others to use. Yard Sales are another great way to recycle these items as well.

House for Sale – Interior Cleaning Tips: Getting started, focus on the detail cleaning for essential interior spaces. Buyers will critically evaluate the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom(s).
