Spring Cleaning Front Porch from Walking on Sunshine Recipes.

After the very long winter we had in our corner of the world, I am more than ready to get our front porch ready for Spring!  I am looking forward to enjoying a glass of iced tea and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets all from that cute swing!

But in order to get our front porch ready for Spring, I need to do some serious cleaning.  Especially the windows. They always seem to be hit hard from the winter storms.

I love having a front porch and I love having it be the first thing our family and friends see when they come to visit us. Here are just a few tips to help us clean and get our front porch ready for Spring.

How to Get the Front Porch Ready for Spring

  • Remove everything from the front porch.
  • Start with cleaning the windows.
  • Make sure you clean the windowsills as well.
  • Clean the light fixtures.
  • Wipe down the front door.
  • Using a stiff broom, give the floors a good cleaning as well.
  • Hang up a pretty spring wreath.
  • Lay down a new welcome mat.

How to Clean the Windows 

To help me get the windows sparkling clean, I’m using Windex® Foaming Glass Cleaner.  It removes dirt, grease and grime from mirrors, vertical glass surfaces, glass tile and especially WINDOWS!

I love that it’s a foaming formula and clings to the surfaces you need to clean and doesn’t spread or drip all over the place.  Look how the foam is clinging to my window!

To get the windows really clean and streak free, I use a paper towel.

Look how dirty the windowsills are!  Not to worry, Windex® Foaming Glass Cleaner works great on all this grime too!

How to Clean Outside Light Fixtures

Now that the windows are clean, let’s turn our attention to the light fixtures.  Again, look how great the Windex® Foaming Glass Cleaner clings to the glass on the lights.  There’s no dripping and no mess! I used another clean paper towel to get the light fixture squeaky clean!

How to Decorate and Add Accessories to the Front Porch

I thought this pretty white flowered wreath would be perfect on our front door now that everything is clean! And of course, a new welcome mat always makes everything look beautiful.  I especially love the “Home Sweet Home” saying that will be sure to welcome our family and friends to our home.

If you want your windows to have that unbeatable streak-free shine*, make sure you pick up some Windex® Foaming Glass Cleaner the next time you’re shopping in Walmart. It really is the best glass cleaner!

    I love your front porch! It looks great – esp. those windows. I just started using this myself, and absolutely love it. Cleaning vertical glass surfaces has never been so easy

    Oh front door always gets so gross during the winter time. I will have to do this to our front door and house too. SNow and winter weather always makes everything look so dirty. Windex is a must in our house for spring cleaning season!

      Thanks Meegan! We actually had more snow after I cleaned the porch so I need to go back out and do it again. 🙂
