CLEAN YOUR WINDOWS. First of all, make sure you have the right products for cleaning windows properly. If necessary, stock up at your local hardware store. A sunny day is the perfect time to get started, and don’t forget to open your windows to let in all that gorgeous fresh air.
INSPECT THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME. If you didn’t get around to cleaning the leaves out of your gutters last fall, now’s the time to get it over with. Next, check your roof, siding, windows and foundations. Contact a professional as soon as possible if you see anything problematic.
SPRING IS THE BEST TIME TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR THE GORGEOUS SUMMER WEATHER TO COME. FOLLOW THESE 10 STEPS TO MAKE SURE YOU CATCH ALL THE DETAILS. NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE SUMMER. IT’S ALMOST HERE!
VACUUM EVERYWHERE. Dust is hiding in all kinds of little nooks and crannies. Move your furniture in order to give your entire home a thorough cleaning. No time to clean the curtains? Take them to the cleaners.
REJUVENATE YOUR LAWN. Rake your lawn to remove all the debris and then aerate it, as the surface has probably been compacted by rain or snow. If you don’t have an aerator you can always rent one. This is also the time to reseed any bare patches of lawn.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR FABRICS. Your goal here is to get rid of dust mites. Your first job? Carpets and rugs need to be shaken out and clea- ned. Your fabrics absorb body oils and germs as well, so wash it all and vacuum the mattress.
TRIM YOUR TREES AND SHRUBS. Remove dead, broken or dam- aged branches with a pair of pruning shears. This will maximize flower- ing over the summer.
REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE. Ready for a change? Buy some new decorative accessories and rearrange your furniture. If that’s not enough, make the most of this new season to change the colour of the walls and do some renovations.
CLEAN YOUR FLOWERBEDS. Get out the rake and remove any dead leaves. Next, cut back old perennial shoots to ground level and spread some fertilizer. Your last task is to spread some mulch around your plants. After all this hard work, your flowerbeds will be a joy to behold.
REORGANIZE YOUR CLOSETS. Are shoes, boots and coats piling up at the front door? Put away all that winter gear and give away any items you no longer wear. Do the same with all your closets. The idea is to opti- mize space throughout the house.
CLEAN UP YOUR ENTRANCE. Stairs, walkways, porches and paths should all be cleaned. You can then check to see if any sections are damaged, broken or have missing parts. Call in the right people to do the necessary repairs.
