Many families searching for new homes for sale know that preparing your current house to list in the Loveland real estate market is an important first step. We recommend kick-starting your spring cleaning by clearing the clutter. Whether that entails having a garage sale, boxing up items you don’t need for storage, or donating items that are taking up too much space, do what makes the most sense for your family to help streamline your household. During the winter we have the tendency to hold onto things we don’t need, but take advantage of springtime’s natual urge to let go of the mess that’s weighing you down. The cleaning will be so much easier once the clutter is gone.

One of the most important aspects of spring-cleaning is to make sure you have a chore checklist. It may be beneficial to divide tasks up by room; separating the kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, dining rooms, garage and other outdoor areas. Come up with a list of detailed tasks for each room and assign it to one of the spring-cleaning crewmembers. For example, the checklist for an outdoor patio may include cleaning the patio furniture, polishing the grill, clearing clutter and debris from the lawn and washing the exterior windows.
