Spring Cleaning Tips for Detroit Renters

Mar 4, 2025 | Detroit, Lifestyle, Property Maintenance

With spring around the corner, it’s the perfect time for renters to refresh their living spaces. At Grant & Main, we take pride in maintaining our properties, and we encourage tenants to keep their homes clean and organized. Here are some simple spring cleaning tips:

Declutter First

Go through your belongings and donate, sell, or toss items you no longer need. This makes deep cleaning easier and keeps your space feeling fresh. 

Deep Clean Key Areas

Focus on often-overlooked areas like baseboards, light fixtures, and kitchen cabinets. A thorough cleaning can make a big difference in your home’s overall feel.

Freshen Up Your Space

Swap out winter decor for lighter colors, open the windows for fresh air, and add some plants for a spring touch. 

Stay on Top of Maintenance

If you notice any maintenance issues while cleaning, report them to Grant & Main’s Detroit’s premier property management team for quick resolution.

Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start. Need help finding a new rental? Grant & Main has you covered!
