‘Tis the season for cleaning up and cleaning out! Here are our top 10 recommendations to make your list this spring:
- Tune up your HVAC – this includes changing out that air filter and calling our friends at B & B for a routine maintenance check.
- Power wash the exterior – no one likes that green tint of mildew on the siding or the deck!
- Replace light bulbs – now’s a great time to check for burnt out bulbs, or bulbs that don’t match in temperature & wattage!
- Check your smoke detectors – your fire department will be proud!
- Clean the windows – everybody’s favorite!
- Prepare your patio furniture – remove the cover or get your patio set out of storage. Maybe even swap your cushions for a new look this patio season!
- Freshen up the garden – turn your hose bibs back on for the season & head to your local nursery to pick up some seasonal flowers for a pop of color!
- And the lawn – don’t forget your pre-emergent & fertilizer this time of year to get that grass a beautiful green color again!
- Swap your seasonal clothes – and maybe do a quick clean-out while you’re at it, making a trip to your local Goodwill or other donation center.
- Pick a room in the house & do a full clean-out – the garage, the office or maybe your master bathroom… take your pick!
Pro-tip! Set quarterly reminders in your calendar to do some general home cleaning and maintenance. The systems in your home (and your neighbors) will thank you!
