The exterior of your home shouldn't feel left out when it comes to spring cleaning. Although it doesn't usually require quite the same attention as the interior, there are simple measures to ensure your home sparkles from the outside in.
Did you know that regular paint touch-ups can extend the life of your overall exterior paint job? Pay attention to timber window frames if you have them and any ageing weatherboards.
Secondly, try to clean your windows as often as possible. It's astonishing the difference it makes from the outside but you'll really marvel at how clearly you can see out! If cleaning your windows is too physically demanding, or in hard-to-reach spaces, employ a window cleaner every quarter, it's well worth the outlay.
Finally, keep guttering clear. Grass sprouting from the roof is not a good look and it could damage parts of your roof. Again, this may be a job for a professional, but it will save you dollars in the long term.
