Spring cleaning tips for your home and your garden.

Add splashes of color to brighten your home for the spring

Spring is finally here and it's time to put on sweaters, scarves and boots to keep your home in perfect condition.

Here are some spring cleaning tips to get the most out of your to-do list:

First, inspect your house from top to bottom. Now that the weather is mild, you want to see how your house was this winter. Many of us have snow repairs to do.

External examination / foundation

- Check the roof for leaks, gutters for damage and cracks. You also want to test your basement or the foundation for layers. Repair now to avoid further damage.

-The rain in April brings Mayflowers ... Clean the gutters to prevent rain on your roof or near your foundations.

pest control

Spring is the time of love for spiders. Sweep the cobwebs, clean the debris and check the recesses of the eight-legged friends.

Mechanical system / air conditioning

- If you have air conditioning, make sure it is ready before the heat arrives.

- Check and replace your air filters to keep out allergens.

Eliminate the mess

Eliminate the clutter in your home.

- Browse the house and remove the garbage that you do not use! The advice of Marie Kondo can also be useful.

- Get close to your closets, games room and basement to eliminate anything that is outdated. Refresh your room to look so good!

deep cleansing

Open doors and windows and let in fresh air.

- In good weather, open the windows, remove the dust, clean, scrub and clean. You have a good education and your home will look very fresh after a closed winter.

Refresh your decoration

Add a touch of color to your home with small ornaments. Colorful flowers or vases, a ray of light for your sofa, pretty cushions in pastel colors, spring candles and a fun decoration to update your living space.

Remove

Let your carpets, curtains and other tapestries come out. Shake off the dust, clean the stain and leave everything in the sun for an afternoon. Ventilate him

backyard

Clean your furniture so they are ready for outdoor parties.

This may not be the time to start the barbecue, but you can start with your outdoor entertainment checklist. Check your lawn, and if you have free space, fill the seed. Check your plants outdoors, your plums, your onions, fill your garden floor and cut it off to be ready when the season permits.

Barbecue grill

It's time to cook the grill.

- If you have a gas grill, this is the right time to check for maintenance. Clean everything and check all gas lines. These can clog up if they are inactive throughout the winter.

- You can take out or clean the garden furniture when you leave it!

Before we know it will be barbecue season!
