National Spring Cleaning Week, observed annually the last week of March, serves as a great reminder for you to organize, clean and prep your home for the changing of the seasons. Although MaidPro’s service follows a comprehensive 49-Point Checklist™ it is still important to ensure you tackle larger projects on an annual basis. To help guide your efforts, use the spring cleaning checklist found below:

General:

• Seasonal exterior maintenance. Survey the grounds and create a list of items needing maintenance. Sort your list by priority and cost of the project.
• Garage. Remove items that haven’t been used in over a year. Host a yard sale or sell items online.
• Cooling and heating systems. Inspect systems, deactivate heat system humidifiers and drain sediment from hot water heaters.
• Glass. Wash windows, glass doors, window treatments and window sills (inside & out).
• Walls and doors. Remove marks, apply touch up paint and clean handles.
