So to make your task a little easier and quicker, Lake of the Ozarks luxury condo complex has come up with a quick view list for you to easily check off as you go:

Spring Cleaning Checklist

Pay special attention to the windows. Clean window glass, panes, screens and treatments. Take your drapes down and wash them or switch them out with fun spring themed ones.

Dust throughout your home thoroughly - including tops of cabinets, ceiling fans, air vents and wall trim.

Move and clean behind and under all furniture. Remove cushions and clean beneath them. Spot clean any stains showing up on cushions and throw pillows.

Have the carpet throughout your home professionally cleaned. Buff or wax your hardwood floor. Treat your tile floor and clean the grout with a commercial grade cleaner.

Go through your fridge and get rid of any leftovers hiding out from the holidays. Dispose of any expired foods and scrub the shelves down to remove any stuck on foods. Scrub away any spilled food in your oven before running self-clean. Pay special attention to the stove burners to get up any stubborn spills or stuck on food. Scrub down the inside of your microwave.

Go through closets, pantries, and shelving and discard anything you no longer need, want or anything that is expired. Organize the rest to make it easier to locate items without searching.

Deep clean the bathrooms. Scrub soap scum from shower walls and tubs, faucets, and shower heads. When cleaning the toilet, pay special attention to the base of the toilet and surrounding floor as well.

Vacuum and air out your bed mattress. Rotate your mattress to prolong its lifetime. Launder all bedding and pillows.

Switch out your winter clothes with spring and summer clothes.

Outside stuff - wash trash cans out with disinfectant spray. Sweep porches and decks and get rid of built up cobwebs. Wash off any outdoor furniture.

With this handy list of items to go by, your spring cleaning tasks will be a breeze to check off. The best thing about living at Lake of the Ozarks' best waterfront condominium is that maintenance will take care of all the outside spring cleaning chores, such as replacing shingles and cleaning the exterior. With a dazzling spring fresh home, you're ready to get to the important things in life. Now sit back and relax at the only island condominium project at Lake of the Ozarks!

Although it may not feel like it, spring will be here before we know it! Clutter is bound to happen in smaller spaces, so the more storage solutions you can find the cleaner and calmer your rooms will feel. Spring is the perfect time to get your living quarters organized. If you are planning on doing some spring cleaning this year, here are seven storage tips for your Lake of the Ozarks condo.

1. Go Up!

One space that seldom gets used for storage is verticle areas, like the back of doors. Those precious square feet can be put to good use, especially for narrow items that get cluttered quickly. There are several wire baskets that can go on the back or regular, cabinet and closet doors. These are great for saving space and keeping contents easy to view.

2. Don't Ignore The Nooks

Even small spaces can be useful. Shelves don't have to be long expanses of horizontal space to be useful. If you have a corner that isn't being used, add a shelf! Get creative in how you can use small, empty spaces in your home.

3. Use Out-In-The-Open Storage

We often think of storage as closed doors and drawers, however, in smaller space, we have to get unique with how items are stored, which may include using spots that are in view. Consider adding a hanging wire basket to the side of a kitchen cabinet that can decoratively store the boxes of aluminum foil, wax paper and plastic wrap.

4. Double-Duty Furniture

Furniture that can do more than one thing are perfect in small spaces. Ottomans with storage space work wonders in cutting down the clutter in living rooms and bedrooms. Strategically placed bookshelves can double as a work surface and storage unit.

5. Use Windows

Although windows are great in small spaces, as they can bring in natural light that makes a tight room feel bigger, they also gobble up potential storage spots. To get the best of both worlds, think creatively. In a kitchen, add a bar to the top of the window and use it to hang pots and pans, or add a shelve and use it to store bowls and cups.

6. Go Under

If there are items you just can't store out in the open, go under! The space under the bed is great for storing things that you want to keep handy, but don't need all the time. If there isn't much space under your bed, you can use bed risers to add several inches underneath it. Once you have the bed risers in place, you can stack storage boxes on top of each other, or utilize bigger bins.

7. Hang Items Up

Sometimes there is a lot of empty space not being used inside cupboards and cabinets. If you want to utilize this space, you can add a small tension rod and hang items. Under the sink, you can add a tension rod and hang cleaning supplies.

Happy Organizing!

When you own a condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, it allows you to get creative with the furnishing. The Lake is a place to relax and have fun, so your home should reflect that as well.
