The tradition of Spring Cleaning ensures that once a year you get in and give your home or office an in-depth an though clean.

Not only will this make your property more enjoyable to live and work in, but it also keeps it in good repair, helps you find damage before its too late, and make your property shine.

How to spring-clean your home?

To help make your spring-cleaning efforts as easy as possible, I’ve prepared a comprehensive checklist for you.

SPRING CLEANING IS THE IDEAL WAY TO SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME READY FOR SUMMER.

1. Wipe walls and ceilings- Start by using a vacuum with a brush to remove dust, and then give your walls and ceilings a wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, such as the build-up in kitchens, use a solvent-free degreaser so you don’t damage your paintwork.

2. Get the carpets cleaned- Hire a Brisbane carpet cleaning service and get them to come in and give your carpets and rugs a thorough clean. You’ll be surprised how much dust and bacteria are hiding in them

3. Dust, Dust, and Dust some more – Get out the feather duster and work your way around the home from top to bottom. This includes typically forgotten areas such as the tops of ceiling fans and bookshelves.

4. Wash your window screens– Using warm water and detergent, scrub each of your fly screens with a soft brush then rinse well.

5. Clean the windows while your there– Nothing makes a house look clean better than shining windows. For large areas use a squeegee and lambswool applicator.

6. Wax wooden furniture– Give your furniture some TLC with a paste wax and a soft cloth.

7. Check your fire safety- As we are moving into fire season here in Australia, make sure that you change the batteries in your smoke detectors and clear your gutters so your new clean home is around for years to come.
