Spring is here, and with it comes the annual tradition of spring cleaning. 

We discuss everything from decluttering and organizing, to deep cleaning and home maintenance, and offer insights on how to prioritize your spring cleaning tasks. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time spring cleaner, this episode is full of practical advice and inspiration to help you tackle the task with confidence and ease. 

Join us as we get into the spring cleaning spirit and prepare our homes for a fresh start.

  1. Declutter: Get rid of any unnecessary items that may have accumulated over the winter months. This will not only make your space look more organized, but it will also help potential renters envision themselves in the space.
  2. Deep Clean: Clean every nook and cranny of the home, including baseboards, windows, and ceiling fans. A clean home is more appealing to potential renters and can make a big difference in how quickly you find a new tenant.
  3. Fresh Paint: If the walls are looking dingy or scuffed up, consider giving them a fresh coat of paint. This can help brighten up the space and make it look more inviting.
  4. Repair Damage: Fix any damage to the walls, floors, or appliances. This will not only make your rental more attractive to potential tenants, but it can also help you avoid future repair costs.
  5. Replace Filters: Replace the air filters in your HVAC system and any other filters in the home. This will improve air quality and make your home more energy-efficient.
  6. Landscaping: Make sure the yard is well-maintained and tidy. This can be a major selling point for potential renters, especially if they are looking for outdoor space.
  7. Check Smoke Detectors: Make sure smoke detectors are in working order and replace the batteries if necessary.
  8. Check Plumbing: Check for any leaks or water damage in the home. This can be a major red flag for potential renters and can also lead to costly repairs if left unchecked. 
  9. Inspect Appliances: Check that all appliances are in working order and make any necessary repairs. This can help attract renters who are looking for move-in-ready homes.
  10. Hire Professional Cleaners: Consider hiring a professional cleaning service to give your rental home a deep clean. This can help ensure that every inch of the home is clean and ready for potential renters.
