Spring Cleaning Made Easy with HomCo
Spring is here, which means it’s time to shake off the dust and give your home a fresh start! Whether you're tackling winter grime, refreshing your home’s exterior, or deep cleaning inside, HomCo has all the tools and supplies you need to make your spring cleaning smooth and effective. Michelle from HomCo is here to share her top spring cleaning tips to help you get the job done right.
Start with the Entryway & Exterior
First impressions matter, and that starts with your front door and entryway. After months of winter weather, your welcome mat might be looking a little worse for wear—give it a good shake or replace it with a fresh one. Clean from top to bottom to avoid knocking dust onto already-clean surfaces. Use a cobweb cleaner on an extension pole to reach high corners and small cracks.
Don’t forget the windows! A squeegee and quality window cleaner will give your glass a streak-free shine, letting in all that beautiful spring sunshine.
Deep Clean the Kitchen & Bathroom
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to tackle those hard-to-reach and often overlooked spots in your kitchen and bathrooms. Here are some game-changing tips:
- Hard Water Spots? Use a specialized tool to remove buildup from chrome and silver finishes.
- Toilet Rings? A dedicated toilet ring remover can save you from endless scrubbing.
- Grimy Stovetop? Bar Keepers Friend or The Pink Stuff are great for glass stovetops and countertops.
- Clogged Drains? Opt for septic-friendly liquid drain cleaners or a drain snake to keep things flowing smoothly.
If your home has a septic system, make sure you’re using septic-safe products for your dishwasher, washing machine, and garbage disposal to prevent damage and maintain efficiency.
Replace Caulk & Change Air Filters
Take a close look at the caulk in your bathroom—if it’s moldy or discolored, it’s time to replace it. Use a scraper to remove old caulk, then apply silicone caulk for a fresh, clean finish. Big Stretch caulk is a great option for its flexibility and smooth application—just keep a damp cloth nearby for easy cleanup.
Spring is also the perfect time to change your air filters to keep your home’s air fresh and clean. HomCo carries a variety of air filter sizes and price ranges, and we can even place custom orders if needed!
Must-Have Cleaning Tools & Paint Touch-Ups
Stock up on multi-purpose cleaners like 409, CLR, or Simple Green, and use storage bins and caddies to keep your cleaning supplies organized. Some of our favorite must-haves include:
- Sponges, Scrub Daddies & Magic Erasers for everyday messes:
- E-cloths for streak-free surfaces
- Paint brushes & spackling tools for touch-up painting
- Gap fillers & sealants to keep bugs and rodents out
A fresh coat of touch-up paint is an easy way to give your home a quick refresh for spring!
Protect Your Hands While You Clean
Cleaning can be tough on your hands, so don’t forget to wear gloves! For extra protection, rub a little soap under your fingernails to prevent dirt from getting stuck. After a long day of scrubbing, Fast Orange or Lava Soap can help remove grease, and Working Hands Moisturizer will keep your skin from drying out.
