Cleaning and Clearing Out
They don’t call it spring cleaning for nothing. When was the last time you can remember given your house a good thorough cleaning? Everything from windows, carpets, dusting, and kitchen appliances are often neglected for months on end, but there’s nothing like that summer sun shining through crystal clear windows and sparkling countertops to brighten up your home after a long winter.

Clearing out unnecessary items and junk will also instantly open up any room in your house. Take a look around your home at all the things you have, but don’t really need. We all have tons of accumulated knickknacks, papers, magazines and even furniture that serve no real purpose other than to take up valuable space.

People often say a clean environment leads to a clean mind and who doesn’t want to start the summer of fresh and relaxed? By clearing out items you don’t need, you’ll be able to look at the rooms of your house in different ways, even notice some of the architectural beauty and possibilities you didn’t see before.
