6. Prepare Your Garden
For those with a green thumb, prepping your garden for planting is a fun spring task.

7. Check Your Safety Devices
Test smoke alarms and CO detectors is a quick but crucial task. Making these devices are working correctly can offer peace of mind, knowing your family is protected against potential dangers. Every season change is an important time to check these things around your home.
8. Rejuvenate Your Outdoor Furniture
With warmer weather on the horizon, cleaning and setting up outdoor furniture allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces comfortably. A simple wash can revive furniture from winter grime, making your backyard or patio an inviting place to relax again. And don’t forget to get that grill cleaned too!
9. Refresh Your Decor
Spring is a great time to refresh your home's decor. Switching out curtains, adding new throw pillows, and even repainting furniture if you’re daring enough can breathe new life into your space, reflecting the vibrancy of spring. It’s a good idea to have a box of seasonal decorations all in their own storage boxes in one location so you can find them easily when the time comes, as well as easily put away last seasons decorations.
10. Overhaul Your Fridge
Take the time to purge expired items from your refrigerator and give it a deep clean. This not only creates more space but keeps things clean, ensuring your fridge is ready to store spring and summer produce (as well as the upcoming bbq leftovers!)
11. Care For Your Windows
For winter you either removed your window screens to collect dust and cobwebs or they bore the brunt of winter all season long. Getting your screens back in place and cleaning them can make a significant difference in your home's airflow and insect control during the warmer months ahead. A thorough wash of both screens and windows will enhance your view and brighten your home.
By ticking these tasks off your spring prep list, you not only enhance your home's functionality and safety but also set the stage for an amazing season of enjoyment and relaxation around your own home. Welcome spring here in Minnesota with a home that's ready for anything!
