Time for Spring Cleaning

Whether you are putting your home on the market or staying put this spring…it is probably time to freshen up your house.  Here are a few simple ideas to give your home a new feel this spring:

• Clean Out Your Closets – Time to remove unused clothing and accessories.
• Clean Painted Walls – Most cases just a wet rag or sponge with a little bit of a mild dishwashing detergent will do the trick.
• Clean Carpets & Tile Floors – Baking Soda and warm water will give your tile floors a new shine. Determine if your rugs have waterproof backing.  If they do, a shampoo machine will do the trick. For Oriental rugs and other area rugs with no backing it is smart to call a professional.
• Reorganize & Declutter Bookshelves – Remove unwanted books/items, consider changing the placement of the books – alternate horizontally and vertically, and mix in framed photos to offset the books.
• Wash Windows & Window Screens – Always wash glass windows on a cloudy day – strong sun will dry windows too quickly and cause streaks.  Warm water and mild dishwashing detergent will clean screens.
• Clean Window Treatments – Most treatments don’t need a wash, but rather a good dusting.  Vacuum with an attachment or put in the dryer at low heat with a fabric softener sheet.
• Donate Unused Items – Clean out the garage, basement, closets, toy room, etc… Host a garage/tag sale or donate to one of the many charitable organization in Westchester County.
• Clean Exterior of Your House – Freshen up painted trim on your house, power wash patios/walkways and house.  If you aren’t sure if your exterior can handle a powerwash it is always prudent to call a professional.

For those of you who are looking to declutter entire rooms, you may want to consider a professional storage company like Westy’s Self Storage.  The local Westy’s is located at 399 Boston Post Road in Port Chester.  They have 50 sizes of storage options, but the “Space Maker” or “Space Maker Plus” will probably suit your needs.  The cost monthly for those units is $171.00 and $231.00 respectively.  Westy’s also offers customer truck rentals for 1/2 day or full day.  Houlihan Lawrence customers are offered a free month rental and discount on the truck rental. If this is something you are interested in please contact me directly.

For a list of local professionals in our area visit my website and click on Local Partners.  Please feel free to contact me at jomeara@houlihanlawrence.com or at 914.329.5329.
