To maintain the cleanliness of an apartment's exterior, follow these steps:
1. Regular Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the apartment on a regular basis to prevent dirt and grime buildup. Use a power washer, mop, or hose to clean the walls, windows, and balcony/patio floors.
2. Remove Cobwebs: Sweep away cobwebs and spider nests using a broom or a long-handled brush. Focus on corners, windowsills, and other areas where spiders tend to build their webs.
3. Window Cleaning: Clean the windows of the apartment using a window cleaner and a microfiber cloth or squeegee. Pay attention to the frames, screens, and tracks as well.
4. Maintain Gutters and Downspouts: Regularly clean gutters and downspouts to prevent blockages caused by leaves and debris. Clear them out and ensure that rainwater can flow freely.
5. Landscaping Maintenance: Trim any overgrown bushes or trees near the apartment exterior. Rake up fallen leaves, clear weeds, and ensure that the landscaping is well-maintained to avoid debris buildup.
6. Sweep and Clean Common Areas: If you have common areas with shared exteriors, such as hallways, stairs, or entryways, make sure they are swept or cleaned regularly. Encourage fellow neighbors to keep these areas tidy as well.
7. Control Pest Infestations: Take necessary measures to prevent and control pests like ants, rodents, or mosquitoes on the apartment's exterior. Use insecticides, repellents, or call professional pest control services if needed.
8. Remove Stains: Promptly clean any stains or spills on the walls, floors, or outdoor furniture. Use appropriate cleaning solutions and scrub gently to avoid damage.
9. Fix and Repair: Regularly inspect the apartment exterior for any damages or repairs that may be required. Fix any cracks, loose boards, or damaged paint to maintain the overall cleanliness and appearance.
10. Encourage Cleanliness Among Residents: Promote a sense of community and cleanliness amongst fellow residents. Communicate the importance of maintaining the apartment's exterior and encourage everyone to contribute to its cleanliness.
Remember to follow any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding the maintenance of the apartment's exterior provided by the landlord or property management.
