Yes, March 20th, this Sunday! Can you believe it? Spring is here, well technically, although we should still anticipate a few colder days thanks to the unpredictability of good ole' Virginia's weather.
What does Spring make me thing of? Unfortunately cleaning! Usually I do the typical cleaning around the house, but this year I went in search of a checklist to help me remember all those small things that I usually forget (unconsciously of course...wink, wink). So here is what I found!
Spring Cleaning Checklist (click on the link)
Martha Stewart (the queen of the household) published a book in 2006 called Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; 2006). And let me tell you, it includes everything! But the great thing is, she did all the guess work for us, so now, we just have to follow her guidance and "Get R Done"! Obviously one weekend won't do for accomplishing this list, so break it down and do a little bit at a time, or pick the things that you think are most important to your home.
While I know that cleaning isn't the most exciting thing in the world, remember that your home needs love too! The value of your home is only as good as how you keep it up. So whether you are trying to sell your home right now, 10 years from now, or even if you want to stay there forever, keeping a clean and well maintained house is one of the things that will help you get top dollar for your home during selling time! If you are in the market to sell soon, you can always call us for more selling tips.
Now that I've ruined the joy of great weather with a mention of cleaning...We hope you all have a Happy Spring!!!
