7 Best Ways to Prep your Home for Spring

 

A changing of seasons is an exciting time of year. Because it is such a big shift in weather and mood, it can take some preparation to get into the new season. Here are some ways you can get ready for a new season approaching!

 

1. Change Candle Scents

Scents in your home can match the season perfectly. For fall, pumpkin and maple fill the air. However, for spring, floral, citrus, and berry scents help bring life back into your home. Don't forget wax melters as well!

 

2. Purchase Fresh Cleaning Products

Spring means Spring Cleaning! To get ready, make sure your favorite cleaning products are restocked. Purchase cleaning products with scents that compliment your candle choices. Some products we suggest are dusting sprays, disinfecting wipes, and glass cleaner (to let that long-lost sun in).

 

3. Clean your Filters

Filters in HVAC systems are best changed at the beginning of spring and fall. If you are due for annual maintenance on your SaniDry dehumidifier in the crawl space or basement, definitely schedule to have those filters changed as well. With rainy months approaching, having your dehumidifier working with a fresh filter will ensure it is ready for humidity changes.

 

4. Change Out Winter Attire and Bedding

With warm weather approaching, there is not much of a need for heavy coats and quilt bedding. Store the winter supplies and grab the bright blues and pinks that were worn last spring. Or take advantage of spring sales and revamp your wardrobe!

 

5. Clean Outdoor Furniture

After being inside for most of the winter, your outdoor patio and patio furniture have probably been feeling rejected. Take some time to clean unused furniture and get it ready for a sunny spring. Also, open patio umbrellas to clean out any cobwebs or dust that collected.

 

6. Prepare your Garden

Time to refresh your plants outside! At the start of the season, it is best to mix the dirt that might have gotten packed and frozen in the winter snow. Visit your local greenhouse and get some flowers to surround your home. Grab a bag or two of fertilizer or fresh topsoil to encourage growth.

 

7. Protect your Home from Rainy Seasons

In the last two years, the spring season brought on more rain than expected. Make sure your home is ready for any weather that may come! Schedule a free inspection of your crawl space or basement to learn how we can help protect it from water intrusion. 

 

Take it one day at a time! Spring preparation can not all be done in a day. Have fun with the process and picture it as a breath of fresh air!
