Get Your Home Ready for Spring with These Outdoor Cleaning Tips

Spring is finally here—and if your patio still looks like winter never left, you’re not alone. At Top to Bottom Cleaning and Handyman Service, we’ve helped many Camden and surrounding area neighbors clean up their homes and get their outdoor spaces back in shape this time of year.

Let’s be honest: spring cleaning outside can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With a little strategy (and maybe a power washer), your patio, windows, and siding will look brand new again. Here’s how we recommend tackling it.

Start with a Quick Walk-Around

Before you start dragging out hoses or buckets, walk around your house. Take note of what needs to be cleaned or fixed:

• Mildew on siding?

• Pollen covering the patio furniture?

• Spider webs on windows?

• Gutters looking clogged?

• Don’t guess—look.

Tackle That Patio First

Your patio is where you’ll want to spend time when the weather’s nice, so start there.

• Sweep off leaves, pine needles, and dirt

• Use a mild soap and hose (or power washer for tougher grime)

• Wipe down furniture—don’t forget the legs and undersides

• Check for any loose boards or nails if it’s wood

• Tip: If your patio is concrete or stone, power washing can make a huge difference.

Windows—Inside and Out

You don’t realize how much dirt and pollen builds up until you actually clean your windows.

• Rinse with a hose first

• Use a glass cleaner or vinegar-water mix and a squeegee

• Don’t forget the screens—dust or rinse them off

• Clean windows let more light in and make your home feel fresh again.

Power Wash for Instant Curb Appeal

If you want fast results, this is it.

• Power wash siding, walkways, driveways, decks, and even fences

• Be gentle on older materials—you don’t want to strip paint or damage wood

• Always point the nozzle downward to avoid water damage under siding

• Don’t have a power washer? We do.

Don’t Forget the “Extras”

The little things make a big difference:

• Wipe down the front door and sweep the porch

• Replace any broken light bulbs or fixtures

• Clean out those cobwebs in corners and eaves

• Hose off the outdoor rugs or mats
