Welcome warmer weather with a spotless home (in just one weekend).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring cleaning is all about getting our homes ready for a new season of sunshine, warmth and time outdoors \u2014 and indoors, too \u2014 especially if that\u2019s where you\u2019re spending a lot of time right now. Get ready to wipe off the grime, clear out the cobwebs and refresh your living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add these project to your spring-cleaning checklist, and you\u2019ll be rewarded with a home that feels brighter, cleaner and more functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best of all, you can knock out most of these jobs in a weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some say clean windows make your whole home look better, and we think it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a DIY cleaning job that yields professional results, use a solution of water, ammonia and white vinegar. Apply the solution to your windows with a large sponge, and remove it with a professional-grade squeegee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These appliances create a cooling effect by circulating air through the coils. Over time, dust builds up on the coils and decreases their efficiency, making your refrigerator or air conditioner work a lot harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unplug the appliance, then vacuum out the coils with your vacuum\u2019s crevice tool. You can also use a special refrigerator-coil cleaning brush, available at most hardware stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clean your ceiling-fan blades to remove winter dust build up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you reversed your ceiling fan\u2019s direction to clockwise for the winter, turn it back to counterclockwise for the warmer months. This sends the air straight down, creating a cooling effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleaning a dryer vent is easier than you might imagine. First, unplug the dryer from the power source. Next, clean out the vent with a special dryer-vent cleaning brush or a vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you vacuum regularly, a thorough carpet cleaning once a year will reach deep down into the fibers to clean out debris, dust, and food particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t own a carpet cleaner, you may be able to rent one from a home improvement store or even your local grocery chain store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring is the perfect time to check your roof for damage that may have occurred over the winter. If you can\u2019t use a ladder to get up on the roof, try inspecting it with binoculars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the finish on your wooden deck still looks good, that\u2019s great! You might just need to clean the deck to get it ready for summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the finish appears to be worn, then you\u2019ll want to consider both cleaning and resealing the deck. For decks made of composite material, follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for cleaning and preserving the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get those lawn mowers, weed whackersnand pressure washers out of storage, turn them on, and make sure they are running properly. Sometimes a little lubricant or cleaning is all you need to get your tools back in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use Murphy Oil Soap for wood furniture. For most other types of outdoor furniture, a solution of dishwashing liquid and water should do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sweep and\/or wash the front porch and steps. Shake out your welcome mat, or replace it if it\u2019s starting to fray or fall apart. Add a pot or two of brightly colored annuals, and your home will feel renewed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
