Spring time is a time of renewal, rebirth, and rejuvenation. As the weather warms up and new buds start to emerge, it’s the perfect time to get your home ready for the upcoming season.
Here are some tips and tricks to prepare your home for spring. One of the best things you can do for your home is to declutter and clean your home. Go through your closets, drawers and cabinets and get rid of anything you no longer use or need. Donate any clothes that don’t fit, toss any expired food, or unused items. Once you have cleared out the clutter, deep clean the house. Dust the ceilings, walls, baseboards, clean the carpets, and wash the windows.
Spring is a great time to inspect your home to make sure everything is in working order. Check for cracks or leaks in your roof, walls, and foundation. Check your HVAC system, change filters, clean vents systems. Checking these items early can reduce the risk of damage from spring storms, and prevent larger more expensive repairs.
Springtime is the perfect time to get your lawn and garden ready. Now is the time to plant any bulbs, seeds, and trees that you want to plant in your yard. Check garden tools and make sure they are in working order. Clean and sharpen them if necessary. Rake and fertilize your lawn so that it is healthy and lush.
Check and clean your gutters, with spring comes rain and with rain comes the need for properly functioning gutters. Remove and leaves, debris or anything else that may be clogging up your gutters. This will ensure that water flows smoothly through your gutters and away from your home.
Spring time is also means that bugs and pest will be making their way back into your home. Prepare by washing your bedding, curtains and vacuuming your carpets. Seal and cracks in walls or foundation to prevent entry. Consider using natural repellants instead of chemicals.
In summary, preparing your home for spring involves deep cleaning, decluttering, assessing and repairing damage, prepping for yard work, maintaining gutters, and warding off pest. By following these simple tips and tricks, you can make sure your home is ready for the season and enjoy everything spring has to offer.
