Here are five tasks that should be on your radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Wash windows and doors.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Each door and window needs a good washing inside and out. Be sure to rinse the screens and wipe out the window casings. You should also clean your window treatments \u2014 both blinds and curtains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Clean out kitchen spaces.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Make sure to clean your dishwasher and oven, then wash and reorganize the interior of your fridge. If it\u2019s been a while since you\u2019ve cleaned your pantry, tackle that next. Be sure to throw out any old or expired food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Dust the vents and ceiling fans<\/span>.<\/strong><br \/>Give your vents and ceiling fans a good wipe-down. You should also replace your air filters if you haven\u2019t in a bit. Typically, they should be replaced every three months for optimal HVAC performance, so this is a good time to start keeping track of that schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Clean or vacuum furniture and upholstery.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Furniture can get quite dirty over time. Pull up couch cushions to vacuum under them, then vacuum the cushions too. You can also carefully wipe down leather furniture and vacuum your mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Tidy up outside.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Take some time to work on curb appeal, too. Tidy up the deck or patio, pick up any stray kids\u2019 or dog toys, and spray down your outside furniture. You may also want to refresh your landscaping while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you getting your home ready to sell? <a href=\"https:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\">Get in touch for expert help today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is right around the corner, so it\u2019s time for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,12,976,13,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts-comments","category-events","category-life","category-listings","category-real-estate"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Being BOB","author_link":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/all-posts-comments\/\" rel=\"category tag\">All Posts &amp; Comments<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/stuff\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Events<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/life\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Life<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/listings\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Listings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Real Estate<\/a>","tag_info":"Real Estate","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p822aG-IR","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
