KEEPING ON TOP OF SEASONAL JOBS MAKES YOUR HOME RUN MORE SMOOTHLY AND MEANS LESS WORK IN THE LONG RUN. WE ASKED A PROFESSIONAL HOUSEKEEPER FOR HER ESSENTIAL TO-DO LIST
Everyday chores like vacuuming and washing up often feel like they take over our lives, especially in small homes where a little clutter can look like a lot of mess. So how can you keep on top of bigger household jobs? The answer is a seasonal checklist, says Ann Russell, author of How to Clean Everything.
SPRING
Lighter days and gentle breezes are the perfect conditions for giving your home a spring clean.
- Dust hard-to-reach areas, such as the tops of doors, cobwebbed corners and behind furniture
- Clean windows and polish mirrors
- Clean curtains with a vacuum attachment or wash them, following instructions on the label
- Prepare your lawnmower and any necessary garden tools
- Give the patio a good scrub; repair and repaint fences
