If you think your home or business could use some professional attention, contact our SERVPRO team at your earliest convenience.

With the spring season right around the corner, it is typically the time of year where homeowners and business owners take a few weekends to spruce up the interior and exterior of their home or business. Keeping your home or business tidy and clean is important for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, a clean home or business is less likely to face issues like mold damage and other problems that stem from a lack of attention and care. In addition, maintaining the cleanliness of a home will help tremendously in the resale value of the home should the homeowner consider selling one day down the road. From the kitchen to the garage and from the backyard area to the bedrooms, spring cleaning is extremely important for South Florida homes.

If you are looking to spruce up your home this spring season, keep in mind the following cleaning tips:

• Clean out your refrigerator – dispose of expired items and wash each tray
• Give all of your doormats a good wash
• Clean your upholstery and carpet – get professional help from SERVPRO to make sure the job is done right
• Pay special attention to washing your baseboards
• Dust all ceiling fans
• Scrub down your stove and oven
• Sanitize all sinks
• Disinfect your kitchen sink’s disposal
• Thoroughly clean all bathrooms – including shower doors, shower walls, and drain areas
• Disinfect and clean all toilets
• Reorganize your bedroom closets and drawers
• Pressure wash your driveway and roof
• Wash all windows
• Degrease and clean all kitchen cabinets

While there are certainly additional tasks to accomplish while doing your spring cleaning, the above list should serve as a great starting point for you and your family or you and your employees. While spring cleaning is important, keeping your home or business clean throughout the year is the key to ensuring major dirt buildup is avoided. Mold damage is one of the most common side effects of untreated water leaks and other home or business issues.
