The Ultimate Southern Maine Spring Cleaning Checklist

  Spring in Maine is a time of renewal, and there's no better way to celebrate than by giving your home a fresh start. After a long winter of closed windows and muddy boots, a deep spring cleaning is essential.
  
  Here is our professional checklist to ensure you don't miss a spot:
  
  ### 1. The Windows
  Start by washing all windows inside and out. Remove screens and wash them with soapy water. Don't forget to wipe down the window tracks where dead bugs and dirt accumulate over the winter.
  
  ### 2. Baseboards and Trims
  These areas are magnets for dust and pet hair. Use a damp microfiber cloth with a mild cleaner to wipe down all baseboards, door frames, and window trims.
  
  ### 3. Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs
  Maine winters mean a lot of salt and sand getting tracked inside. Vacuum thoroughly and consider hiring a professional for hot water extraction to prolong the life of your carpets.
  
  ### 4. Kitchen Appliances
  Pull out the refrigerator and stove to clean underneath and behind them. Clean the oven, descale the dishwasher, and wipe down the inside of the fridge.
  
  ### 5. Rotate Wardrobes
  Pack away the heavy winter coats and bring out the spring wardrobe. Take this opportunity to donate items you no longer wear.
