Summer Home Cleaning Tasks

Summer is quite possibly the most anticipated season of the year. Everyone is eager to put all those bulky sweaters, trench coats, and boots to rest for a few months while they get a nice tan. It’s also a happy time because it’s usually a synonym of vacations on sandy beaches, cold drinks, and lots of time to relax.

On the home front, summer is also a great time of the year, but like any other season, it comes with its own to-do list in terms of cleaning. Summer is a good season to take care of lots of things, but let’s be real. No one wants to spend the entire summer cleaning the house so we’ll go with a few of the most important ones. These are some of the top household chores you can tackle during the warm months of summer:

Clean Out Your Pantry

If you want to start on the inside, focus on the kitchen. The pantry is one of those places that need a thorough cleaning every season. Check for expired food that may need to be tossed, ensure all packages are properly sealed to prevent bugs, and transfer leftover products into sealed containers.

Come summer, and everyone wants to jump into a pool. Well, your home could use a splash too. Pressure washing the exterior of your home, including the sidewalk, driveway, siding, and deck —if you have one— will get rid of all the dirt, debris and everything that accumulates on the porous surfaces, making your home look fresh and more appealing.

Remove Gunk from Door and Window Tracks

Summer calls for open windows and doors, and that can’t happen if the action of opening and closing is mission impossible. Check on your door and window tracks and remove all the dirt and other material that builds up in there.

Clean Your Windows

This is the best time of year to let the light into the house. Dirty windows block the light. You might be so used to them being dirty that you don’t notice how dim the lighting is, but you will certainly see a world of difference once you give them a good wipe. If your home has a lot of windows, this might be a little time consuming, but it’s definitely worth it.

Clean Light Fixtures

Dead bug collections belong in a zoo or a museum, not in your lamp shades. Summer brings in lots of bugs, and they tend to be attracted by light and end up dead in your lamp shades. This not only affects your home curb appeal, but it also dims the light of your fixtures and results in a darker home.

 

You may find yourself a bit overwhelmed by the amount of time you’d have to put in to make your home look great this summer. Hiring professional cleaning services for your Colorado home could make that whole process much easier for you.
