Keeping your home tidy and clean is important for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, a clean home 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 down the road.

In the meantime perform these simple tasks to keep you home fresh and clean;

• Check lawn sprinkler system for leaky valves, exposed lines, and improperly working sprinkler heads
• Cut back and trim all vegetation and overgrown bushes from structures. Limbs and leaves can cut into your home’s paint and force you to have that side of the house repainted. A little trimming can save a lot of money and time
• Wash all windows
• Check window seals to make sure they are working properly
• Inspect and service your HVAC system to make sure all components are working properly
• Check all decks, patios, porches, stairs, and railings for loose fixtures or deterioration
• Dust or wipe down ceiling fans and light fixtures
• Shampoo your upholstery and carpet with professional grade serums
• Clean out your refrigerator by disposing of expired items and sanitize each shelf
• Pressure wash roof and gutters to make sure there is no blockage
• Wash any moss or algae off of your driveways, sidewalks and roof
