Now that spring is here, it\u2019s time to get outdoor areas spruced up and ready for warm weather fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the warmer temperatures, bright sunshine, and greening of spring give you the urge to clean, you\u2019re not alone. If you want to make spring cleaning easier, especially outdoor spring cleaning, a little planning will save lots of elbow grease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make outdoor spring cleaning a breeze with these four simple tips to ensure that you\u2019re ready for warm weather fun:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Get the grill ready. Barbecues and picnics are as much a part of summer as baseball and trips to the beach. Your grill is central to the fun when you\u2019re cooking and dining outdoors, so get it ready with a good cleaning. If you were diligent about cleaning the grill after every use last year, a good cleaning with a wire brush may be all the cooking grates need. If your grates have a lot of build-up and burnt-on food, remove and soak them in warm soapy water to loosen the debris. Use a wire brush and a little soapy water to clean out the inside surfaces of your grill, including the inside of the lid. Check the hose connection for the propane tank and repair or replace it if needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Clean outdoor surfaces without scrubbing. Over time, wood and composite decks, concrete, railings, awnings and outdoor furniture can accumulate mould, moss, mildew and algae. An environmentally-sensitive mould and mildew cleaner like Wet & Forget works over time to gently remove outdoor stains on virtually any exterior surface without scrubbing. Perfect for mildew and mould removal, the non-caustic, non-acidic and bleach-free, biodegradable formula can be easily applied with a pump garden sprayer instead of a more labour-intense power washer. The multi-surface outdoor cleaner reduces water usage and is designed for use around landscaping plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Spruce up your view. Clean windows not only brighten the interior of your home, they can make the exterior look fresher, too. Spring is a great time to remove screens (if you haven\u2019t stored them for the winter) and give them a good cleaning. Hosing them off should do the trick, but if they\u2019re very dirty try cleaning with a little soapy water and a soft scrub brush. Before you replace the screens, give the windows a good cleaning. Arm yourself with lots of paper towels and a good glass cleaner. One that contains vinegar will be effective and eco-friendly if you\u2019re concerned about exposing your landscaping to harsh chemicals. Be sure to clean the outside of your windows first. It will make another popular spring cleaning chore\u2014washing the inside of windows\u2014a bit easier. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Taking care of your tools. Yard work and gardening are realities of warm weather. All your landscaping maintenance chores will be easier if your tools are clean and in good repair. Unload the tool shed or garage of all the equipment you\u2019ll use this summer\u2014from rakes and hoes to lawn mowers and trimmers. While you probably cleaned your garden tools before you stored them for winter, they\u2019ll still have accumulated dust\u2014and possibly rust\u2014from sitting idle for so many months. Clean rust spots and dirt from metal tools, and use a coating of mineral oil to ensure the rust doesn\u2019t return. Clean lawn mower and trimmer blades, and replace the line on string trimmers. Get blades sharpened if necessary, and run through all the maintenance tasks recommended in the manufacturer\u2019s handbook for your power equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
