Winter Cleaning Tips for Your Home

It is that time of year again! The winter season is the perfect time to deep clean your home. If you aren’t sure exactly what needs to be done, there are many things you can do to keep your home in tip-top shape. If you are thinking of putting your house on the market, these are perfect things to do to get ready:

• Clean Your HVAC: The HVAC air filters should be replaced every winter! The EPA recommends homeowners replace their filter every three months to ensure quality air within the home. Clean these filters regularly to remove trapped allergens that can cause issues.
• Get Rid of Clutter: While you may not be able to get rid of all of the clutter in the home, you may be able to get rid of a lot! Reduce the amount of clutter in your home by sorting out and organizing the items in it. 
• Clean Your Fridge and Freezer: Once a year, clean behind your fridge and other big items in the home. 
• Deep Clean the Carpets in Your Home (if any): While hardwood is the more popular flooring choice nowadays, many homeowners still love carpet. If you have carpet in your home, take this time to steam it and deep clean. The winter months are filled with mud and snow, so upkeep is crucial to a clean home.
• Deep Clean the Kitchen: Take a few hours to degrease the oven and wipe every surface! You would be surprised how dirty a kitchen can get in just a few months.
