Now that it is springtime, there are things that you should do in order to make your home ready for the spring season. A lot of these are fairly simple and should happen at least yearly. 

1. Check your gutters: Remove as much debris as you can. Make sure to wear gloves! You can also remove any leftover junk with a garden hose. 
2. Scrub all the walls: It is the perfect time to really take the time to clean all the walls in the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas. You can do this by using a sponge or brush and mild soap and water. Make sure to clean baseboards and outlets. 
3. Replace all filters including water, range hood, and air vent filters. You should replace these filters every 3-6 months. Add it to your monthly calendar on your phone so you can get reminders. 
4. Empty your dryer vent out: A clogged dryer vent can be a fire hazard. It is fairly easy to empty out the lint in there. If you aren’t ask a friend for help. 
5. Keep allergens away: Keep dust, mold, and pollen by decluttering your home; this can be a huge lifesaver especially if you have allergies. You might also want to check pipes for leaks.
6. Test smoke alarms: You will want to test smoke alarms and Carbon Monoxide detectors. You will also want to change out batteries. It only takes a few minutes but can save your family's lives.
