It is that time of year that your mother always told you about, spring cleaning. So get out your gloves and get ready to get your hands dirty making your Lakewood Ranch real estate look and smell as good as new.

Let’s start with getting rid of the clutter. I am not talking about photo albums and yearbooks. Rather, I am referring to concert t-shirts, old magazines, and childhood Nikes than do nothing but take up precious space in your home. If you do not use a piece of clothing or a game that’s taking up space in your closet, under your bed, or in your garage, it is time to trash it. The last thing you want is pile after pile of unnecessary junk lying around your house. It is not like it’s organized and you’ll be able to find something when you actually need it. Even worse, it looks horrible.

Often times, men, women, and children in Lakewood Ranch homes for sale simply get the clutter out of the way by tossing it into the garage, if not the pantry. Out of sight, out of mind. This practice has the same effect as stacking old magazines into a closet. It does nothing but collect dust while growing larger over time. Donate food and clothes to veterans and others in need, such as victims of a natural disaster. Simply look on the web to find the nearest homeless shelter. Some facilities may even drive by your place and pick it up for you.

When performing your spring cleaning, it’s also important to get rid of everything outdated in your home for sale in Lakewood Ranch. It may be food in the fridge, medicine in the cabinet, or electronics in your office. It’s time to upgrade to newer food and medicine, as well as smaller and better electronics. For instance, you may be holding onto your Sega Genesis from college, along with two or three dozen of your favorite games. After all, you spent many hours playing them all. However, they are now doing nothing but collecting dust. Say goodbye to Andre Agassi Tennis, Pac-Mania, and John Madden Football. If you can’t get anything for them on eBay, simply toss them into the trash can.

Now that you’ve made space in your home, it is time to clean it. Start with fabrics in your home. Every time you sit on a chair, all the sweat, as well as the dirt and germs from your body and clothes transfer onto the chair. After you give your fabrics a good vacuuming after removing every cushion. You may be amazed at what you’ll find, from loose change to potato chips and remote controls. Read all the tags to see how everything should be cleaned. You certainly don’t want to throw a “dry-clean only” sofa cover in your washing machine.

Next, every wall, cabinet, and baseboard in a Lakewood Ranch luxury home needs to get rid of its soot and dust. It’s best to place hand dishwashing soap onto a sponge and give everything a good wiping. Then use a clean rag to dry everything off.
