April home maintenance checklist
It’s officially springtime – and time for spring cleaning! Here are some tips to freshen up your home after these long winter months:
- – Enhance indoor air quality. Get a handle on allergies by giving your home a deep clean – from door frames to window shutters to baseboards. And don’t forget to clean out your vents and dryer lint trap.
- – Clean off your deck. Remove dirt and debris from gathered leaves and snow that could damage your home, if left untreated. Replace weatherstripping on your doors and windows to keep April showers outside and your air conditioning or heat inside.
- – Prepare for summer. Check that your irrigation system and sprinklers are still functioning after months of not being in use. Test your AC unit to ensure it doesn’t need cleaning, updating or replacing.
- – Declutter storage. When swapping out heavy winter blankets for cool summer quilts, go through items sitting in storage and separate them into keep, donate and toss piles.
