When it comes to real estate, Spring selling season is here and luckily it coincides with Spring cleaning. Spring represents growth and a fresh start, a time when many people clean out the old and start anew. With the recession subsiding and real estate sales picking up it is more important than ever to give your home a fresh, clean look. Where to start? The windows are a great place to begin.

Cleaning windows can be done with Windex and a cloth (or paper towels) or with a squeegee and soapy water. The squeegee method can be a bit messier, easier on the outside of the house, but significantly less time consuming. When cleaning the windows don’t forget your screens. Take them in the back yard and hose them down.

Other great areas to clean are the refrigerator and other appliances, like the stove and oven. Most people will open the refrigerator and take a look, so empty it out and clean the walls and shelves. A self-cleaning oven makes cleaning it a snap.

Clear out your cabinets and clear off your counters. Look around your home and try to see it through a potential buyer’s eyes. The cleaner your home appears, the more appealing it will be. Spring is here, time to start fresh.
