The Outdoor Spring Cleaning Checklist

Even the great outdoors can sparkle more! Get ready for chilling and grilling in no time with this easy checklist, plus helpful tips for cleaning your patio, windows, garden, garage and more.

Windows

Give the often-forgotten side of your windows a sparkle. Windex® Outdoor Glass and Patio Concentrated Cleaner gets rid of dirt and grime without wiping, so you can give even second-storey windows a streak-free shine without a ladder. Just attach the outdoor window cleaner to a hose, rinse, spray product, rinse again and let dry.

 

Outdoor Furniture

Clean outdoor furniture, umbrellas and awnings. It’s quick and easy to make your set sparkle with a Windex® Outdoor Glass and Patio Concentrated Cleaner. It can be used as an outdoor furniture cleaner on plastic and glass items like glass patio tables and outdoor playsets for kids.

If you have storm windows, remove, wash and store those too. Rinse screens to remove dust before putting them in.

Tip

Do it on a sunny day so items can air-dry quickly.

Porch

Wash porch ceilings, floors and walls.

Tip

Attach a dryer sheet to the end of a broom to get cobwebs.

Bricks and Flagstones

Replace any broken bricks or flagstones on your home. Depending on how extensive your repairs are, you may want to hire a professional. Ask at your local home and garden store about renting specialized equipment.


Gutters

Clean gutters and downspouts. While you’re up there, look for holes and damage. Scoop debris out by (gloved) hand or use a handheld leaf blower or wet dry vacuum.


Garage

Clean out the garage, dispose of unwanted items and organize “things you want to keep.” Service and store snow blowers and winter sports equipment. Sweep and wash garage floor.


Sprinklers and Lighting

Green grass and twinkling lights can really lighten and brighten your space. Check outdoor lighting and the sprinkler system for repair. Make outdoor fixtures sparkle with Windex® Glass Wipes.
