5. Windows, Walls, & Forgotten Spaces

These larger, often-overlooked areas make a dramatic difference in the brightness and freshness of your home when addressed.

1. Window Washing Inside and Out

Clean windows allow maximum spring light. Use a streak-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth or a rubber squeegee for best results. Don't forget to wipe down the sills and tracks, which collect significant dirt and pollen.

2. Wall & Baseboard Wipe-Down

Walls and baseboards accumulate dust, fingerprints, and scuffs. Use a long-handled microfiber mop for walls to reach high spots easily. For baseboards, a damp cloth or a dryer sheet (which helps repel future dust) works wonders.

3. Vent, Light Fixture, & Hardware Detail

Remove and wash vent covers in soapy water. Wipe down ceiling light fixtures and fans. Polish door handles, switch plates, and other frequently touched hardware with a suitable cleaner.
