1. Make a Clean Sweep Start your spring porch refresh with a spring cleaning. Wipe down or wash off the ceiling, walls and corners to get rid of dirt buildup, grime and cobwebs. Follow up by thoroughly cleaning the flooring. While you’re at it, check windows and doors for any needed repairs. You might want to refresh the caulk, replace hardware or sills, repair screens, or clean or update light fixtures or door hardware. Tackle any paint or stain touch-ups now as well.
