Spring Cleaning Season

3/7/2022 (Permalink)

Spring cleaning is always a good way to rid your home or business of dust, pollen, and other contaminants!

It's that time of year again. Mother Nature has sprung back to life, along with all the blessings and curses that come with the season.

The pollen count has spiked and allergies are in full swing. Sometimes your only escape from the runny nose and congested head is to head for the great indoors.

Of course, in many homes across the country, the air-conditioned refuge just doesn't provide the refuge you seek from the sniffles. What in the world id going on? It could be your home is in need of a thorough spring cleaning. Modern homes are often so well built that they are nearly air-tight. This helps keep warmth and air conditioning inside during the proper seasons, but it can also allow contaminants- such as dust and old mold particles- to build up to potentially irritating, or even unhealthy, levels.

Check out the following tips on spring cleaning, and consider giving your home a good scrub-down in the coming weeks.

Spring Cleaning Tips

• Always start from the top.- AS you clean higher-up items, like ceiling fan blades and top shelves on bookcases, you'll knock dust down to a lower level. You don't want to re-soil an area you already cleaned.
• Stay focused on task at hand.- When cleaning out a closet or drawer, it's easy to get drawn in by old photo albums and keepsakes. Set aside time for the fond memories later- You're on a mission!
• Don't be a pack rat.- You don't want to throw away precious keepsakes, but try to limit the junk laying around the house. If you haven't used it in a year or two, throw it out- or better yet- sell it in a garage sale!
