QUICK CLEANING TIPS FOR SPRING

Spring is here! Which means its time for spring cleaning and getting the house out of that winter funk. Our quarterly newsletter came out for Spring and had some very helpful tips for preparing your home. Read on for what you may have missed!!

Unwanted Houseguests

Mice may look cute and cuddly but did you know that they along with rats and squirrels account for 80% of all animal break-ins!? They eat your food, can diminish your property value and can wreak havoc on your home systems. 

What are some steps you can take to stop them?

• Identify points of entry and seal them. Garages, basements, drain pipes, gaps around utility lines – all of these represent areas of vulnerability for your home.
• Eliminate water and food sources around your home. Store all food in airtight containers.
• Contact a pest control professional immediately if you suspect an animal infiltration. Rodents can carry viruses and even rabies.
• Eliminate all moisture sites including leaking pipes and clogged drains that provide the perfect breeding site for pests.

Bathroom Cleanup

Cleaning the bathroom ranks at the top of “least favorite chore” lists, but you can make this unpleasant chore go quickly with efficient practices.

• Prepare for action – Get your cleaning materials ready before you begin.
• Clean counter tops, sinks and mirrors – Use an antibacterial cleaner or disinfectant to wipe your sink, countertops and mirror. 
• Clean the toilet – Wipe off the toilet with a cloth and disinfectant. Include the handle and any crevices. Then scrub the bowl with a toilet brush and cleaner.
• Clean the showers and bathtubs – Use cleaners that are appropriate for the materials and your type of water on shower walls, shower head and the tub. 

 Mop the floor, and you’re done.
