Our Best Spring Cleaning Tips
Your house’s spring cleaning checklist will be unique. High-traffic areas may see dirt and debris accumulate quickly, while rarely visited spots like your closets and laundry room can become a haven for hidden clutter.
Let’s go over all the important places to keep clean this spring.
Seasonal Cleaning in the Kitchen
While it’s always important to keep a clean kitchen throughout the year, there are a few areas that can collect dirt and debris over time that deserve special attention. Let’s start with:
- Between appliances. Food crumbs, wrappers, and small items tend to fall into tight spaces. A strong hand vacuum with a hose attachment can help you easily clean these spots without hassle.
- Your garbage disposal. To clean your garbage disposal, run ice cubes through it followed by a few slices of lemon. This helps break down residue and leaves a fresh scent.
- Clean your fridge coils. Dirty refrigerator coils can cause your fridge to overheat and increase the risk of fire. Cleaning them with a coil brush or vacuum can improve efficiency and extend the life of your appliance.
How to Refresh Your Outdoor Spaces
Let’s move outside and take a look at the best ways to freshen up your home’s exterior.
- Check under your deck. It may not always be at the front of your mind, but you don’t want any growing trees, rodent nests, or collected debris to get out of hand. Clearing this space will prevent future issues and keep your outdoor area looking great.
- Power wash concrete stairs. Over time, concrete stairs can become slick from dirt and algae buildup. Power washing them not only makes them look cleaner, but it also reduces the risk of slips and falls.
- Treat weeds before they spread. Use a weed control product or service early in the season to prevent them from taking over your garden or yard.
Expand Garage Space With Self-Storage
It’s easy for clutter to accumulate in the garage. While it can function as a storage room, your garage space is capable of so much more. Make a workshop, game room, or even a lounge in the newly opened up space you can find in your garage when you rent a self-storage unit from Freedom Storage.
Our drive-up units are available with month-to-month rental agreements, meaning if you need some extra room for a short period of time or additional storage space all year long, you can find it without a long-term commitment. Clear out seasonal items, old tools, or sports equipment and free up space for more useful purposes in a unit sized perfectly for you.
