Spring Cleaning

Well, the weather sure has been a tease lately and I don’t know about you, but I am definitely looking forward to the sun coming out and the weather being warmer. That also brings “Spring Cleaning” to mind. Here are a few helpful hints to help prepare for the months ahead.

• Trim trees and bushes at least 7 inches away from the home to protect the siding and roof.
• Clean and clear screens by rinsing them with soap and water.
• Clearing any and all clutter.
• After a rainy day, examine the ceiling inside your home for wet spots, which may be a sign of roof issues.
• Change your air filter monthly to keep your unit free of dirt and running efficiently.
• Make sure there is not anything touching your air conditioners.
• Clean the carpets and rugs.
• Wash down the tables, chairs and all other furniture.
  
• Seal up any cracks around the home where pests could potentially enter.
• Repaint areas of chipped or peeling paint on the outside of your home to avoid wood rot.
• Dust from floor to ceiling. Most people forget to dust the baseboards, the ceilings and corners of rooms, artwork, or shoe racks in closets.

Spring is a great time to remember to do these things and keep your home “HAPPY”!
