After all, it makes no sense to spend a fortune on our homes and all the furnishings if we don\u2019t keep them clean. The payoff is well worth it, so let\u2019s face it\u2014we can\u2019t avoid this unpleasant task. But it doesn\u2019t have to be as unbearable as you think if you plan ahead and implement some handy gadgets that make cleaning a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Consider investing in hi-tech housekeeping tools such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-robot-vacuum\/\">robot vacuum<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/best.offers.com\/best-portable-carpet-and-upholstery-cleaners?zmg_ads&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1eykuWWoqwYtLp-XaBPATLWSJAEJ1fbrfZKISLY_DGljbnevkNnHn0aAqTkEALw_wcB\">carpet spot cleaner<\/a>, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestreviews.guide\/electric-mops?origin=google&amp;google_params%5bmatchtype%5d=e&amp;google_params%5bnetwork%5d=g&amp;google_params%5bdevice%5d=c&amp;google_params%5bcreative%5d=484591730151&amp;google_params%5bkeyword%5d=electric%20mop&amp;google_params%5badposition%5d=&amp;google_params%5badgroupid%5d=108492454705&amp;google_params%5bcampaignid%5d=11125965104&amp;bs=&amp;google_params%5bfeeditemid%5d=&amp;google_params%5btargetid%5d=kwd-306367840273&amp;google_params%5bloc_interest_ms%5d=&amp;google_params%5bloc_physical_ms%5d=9012544&amp;google_params%5bdevicemodel%5d=&amp;google_params%5btarget%5d=&amp;dest=0&amp;sys_id=0%7C903&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1cvmU28MfEmPWaGDGPLUfukZUMVXL6LbMP2fW8sWuWMnQTxCq1RucYaAtABEALw_wcB\">electric mop<\/a> to make tasks go quicker and seem virtually effortless. Keeping floors, furniture, baseboards, ceiling fans, and surfaces dirt and dust-free\u2014and washing windows regularly\u2014makes all the difference in the world in how you and <em>others<\/em> perceive the look and feel of your home. Plus, if you keep things clean regularly, you won\u2019t have to put as much effort into it each time.<\/p>\n<p>Also, make a schedule and stick to it. Break up chores in simple, easy-to-digest increments, so they won\u2019t be such a pain and take up an entire day. If you\u2019re not doing it all yourself, make it a family project and delegate jobs each week. For truly huge tasks, don\u2019t be afraid to call in a professional.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-declutter-and-downsize\">Declutter and Downsize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DeclutterKitchenCourtesy.ecko360Estates.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18203\" width=\"837\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DeclutterKitchenCourtesy.ecko360Estates.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DeclutterKitchenCourtesy.ecko360Estates-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/ecko360estates.com\/fresh-cabin-charm-kitchen-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>ecko360estates<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Removing visual clutter from your life is a beautiful way to keep your home looking smart, stylish, and organized. Also, as many of us are downsizing to smaller places these days, it\u2019s the perfect time to take inventory of our belongings and get rid of things we no longer want in our lives. The minimalist look continues to trend today\u2014so <em>less<\/em> is <em>more<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the kitchen especially, keep countertop clutter to a minimum and arrange the daily objects you use efficiently and within easy reach. Group items on trays and in canisters to keep things looking clean and orderly. Don\u2019t forget to edit and arrange your pantry, cabinets, and drawers neatly\u2014even though their contents are hidden from sight. Most of us accumulate clutter in those very places, including our closets, and later dread the thought of clearing them out.<\/p>\n<p>We all know how difficult it is to part with our personal possessions, so be mindful and practical about the process. Consider gifting or donating things you no longer need\u2014or have a yard sale. Without all that baggage, we tend to feel lighter, freer, and more at peace in our surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maintain-what-you-have\">Maintain What You Have<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SpaBathroomCourtesySerenaLily.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serenaandlily.com\/variationproduct?pid=m12644&amp;dwvar_m12644_size=Medium&amp;pdp=true&amp;source=detail&amp;utm_source=adlucent&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=adlucent&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94zxl6spfX4NIuo4IBIsSoJXfBJj7GjMxZsibN7u-JpodGkZKfkpxpzxoC1jAQAvD_BwE#fo_c=745&amp;fo_k=319ced9404d0f47a098c906f63cee388&amp;fo_s=adlucent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Serena &amp; Lily<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Our lake homes are our sanctuaries, so make it a priority to maintain what you already have. Keep your beloved rugs and plush carpets clean and odor-free, replace any worn rugs, patch holes in the wall, polish bathroom and kitchen fixtures, replace cracked tiles, and regularly clean grout on all your tile surfaces. If your rooms look tired and outdated, give them a fresh facelift with new fixtures, hardware, and lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to maintain your lake home\u2019s exterior features as well. For example, clean your gutters to direct water away from your house, seal your driveway to prevent cracks and preserve your pavement, and touch up your home\u2019s exterior paint if you notice any chipping or peeling.<\/p>\n<p>By keeping up with these essential maintenance tips, you can avoid living in a house that looks and feels neglected and instead enjoy a well-dressed home that feels fresh, clean, and cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint-power\">Paint Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshPaintCourtesy.CountryLivingMagazine.jpg-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshPaintCourtesy.CountryLivingMagazine.jpg-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshPaintCourtesy.CountryLivingMagazine.jpg-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshPaintCourtesy.CountryLivingMagazine.jpg-768x961.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshPaintCourtesy.CountryLivingMagazine.jpg.jpeg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryliving.com\/home-design\/decorating-ideas\/advice\/g1704\/kitchen-paint-color-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Country Living Magazine<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to change the complexion of any room. So don\u2019t be afraid to introduce a splash of color to your kitchen with painted cabinetry, an island base, or even your wooden floors. Paint will instantly transform your rooms and dramatically change the mood with a simple color change.<\/p>\n<p>If your bright white walls look sad and dull, there\u2019s no better way to revive them than with a brilliant new coat of your favorite hue. To create an eye-catching focal point, consider painting an accent wall in a darker, more richly pigmented tone that will make a striking contrast to the adjacent walls while still complementing the style of your interior. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fresh-linens-and-towels\">Fresh Linens and Towels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshLinensCourtesyPotteryBarn.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshLinensCourtesyPotteryBarn.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshLinensCourtesyPotteryBarn-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/FreshLinensCourtesyPotteryBarn-768x691.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.potterybarn.com\/products\/big-sur-upholstered-bed\/?catalogId=84&amp;sku=9206443&amp;cm_ven=PLA&amp;cm_cat=Google&amp;cm_pla=Furniture%20%3E%20Beds%20%26%20Headboards&amp;region_id=780420&amp;cm_ite=9206443&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z1c4Lpt08xVSVwh-5XUgtkV6MVUqjHtvZjC2_8xPdCaW3Vucv0mojRoCsAAQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Pottery Barn<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s confess, we all have them\u2014flattened pillows, ratty towels, and old worn-out sheets that are either stained or torn. And the sad truth is, nothing makes bedrooms and bathrooms look more unkempt than having these less-than-luxurious items in plain view. However, you can elevate your spaces instantly simply by replacing them with plush, luxurious bed linens, fluffy towels and bathmats, and plump new pillows\u2014either down-filled or a down alternative. Also, consider using two duvets to get a more sumptuous plumped-up look. You can stuff two duvets into one duvet cover or simply layer them one on top of the other over your bed.<\/p>\n<p>For more tips on how to freshen up and rejuvenate your home, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydomaine.com\/spring-home-refresh-ideas-4797999\">here<\/a>.
