It’s Almost Time For Spring Cleaning

closeThis post was published 7 months 9 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.

It’s the end of January and that means spring will be here in about 2 more months for most of the northern hemisphere. People everywhere will start to open windows and clean out all of the junk left in their homes from winter. If your one of these people you may want to start thinking now about getting everything ready for spring cleaning.

My first tip is to create a check list of everything you will need to do. Do you need to clean gutters, windows or sideing? Will doors or windows need to be replaced. What about flowers, herbs and vegetables are you going to start seeds or buy plants from a nursery. I am hopeing to do seeds this year and will be heading out this weekend to get some started.

Next you want to start checking out your cleaning supplies. Make sure your vacuum is in good condition and all filters are clean, this should be done more in the winter anyway to help keep your home as clean as possible. Make sure you have all the cleaning supplies you need. If not you have time now to shop around and make sure you get a good deal.

If your thinking of painting your home this year start takeing bids now. It’s cheaper in the winter and you may be able to get it done pretty early and lock in the price to do it. I would check with local painters and see what they are willing to do for you.

The last tip I have is to start planing any outdoor projects now, things like new landscaping, outdoor areas and pools are easier to tackle when you have a good plan. Doing a plan in the winter will keep you from slacking off when the time comes to actually do the work.

Do you have any tips?

We have redefined the meaning of “clean” with new cleaning technology and germ killing products that obliterate up to 99.99999% of illness causing germs. Here’s how: http://www.cleanphirst.com/cleaning-information-news/2009/11/germ-killing-products.html

Here is a great tip when it comes time to clean out those rain gutters. Put away the water wands, blowers, tongs, paddles, scoops, and above all the ladders!!! Clean out those rain gutters while standing firmly and safely on the ground. How?? Check out a web page that sells a brand new wet/dry vac attachment tool called the Gutter Clutter Buster. It snugly fits any 2.5″ wet/dry vac hose and actually “vacuums out” all rain gutter debris, wet or dry, and gets it squeaky clean. How do I know this? I bought one and tried it. I love it and it has saved me money, time, effort, energy, and most of all keep me from the dangerous ladder. I encourage everyone that wants to get the job done in 1/2 the time and save money and literally save “your limbs or life” do what I did and check out their web page, respectively. Then you’ll have more time with the family!
