While winter melts, keep on top of your home's seasonal and other less-frequent needs. Here are 10 items for your spring checklist:
1. A clean, well-lighted place ... begins with clean light fixtures. Clean ceiling fixtures, lamps, sconces, anything that has a bulb.
2. And while you're up there: Clean the fan blades.
3. Floorshow: Clean hardwood, tile, linoleum and other floor surfaces and seal (maybe hire a professional for this).
4. And while you're at it: Call the pros in to clean your carpets, too.
5. Think small: Think small appliance. Think "clean the small appliance." Tackle the toaster, the toaster oven, the microwave and show them who's boss.
6. Office help: Get a jump on the taxman (or woman). Use this month to clean out your office drawers and files and surprise your accountant with all your receipts for a change.
7. Does not compute? Maybe it needs cleaning. Clean your computer, keyboard and mouse. And while you're at it, tackle your fax machine, too.
8. Paper chase: Clean out all extra books, magazines, papers, etc. Recycle, resell or donate.
9. Goodbye till next year: Put away winter clothes, ski clothes, sweaters, etc....
10. De-cloak: And the 'coat closet' becomes the 'sweater closet'. Clean out the entry closet to make room for the new season's outerwear.
