Can you believe spring is already here? As we enter this new season, our Authority Brands teams are going out strong with new advice and tricks to refresh consumers’ homes for the ultimate spring cleaning – and lucky for you, we’ve put together some of those many tips for our latest spring refresh blog.
- Improve Your Air Quality. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning has some easy but effective ways to keep your air quality high all season long, such as opening your windows for fresh air, adding houseplants to naturally remove air toxins, replacing air filters, and having your ducts cleaned by a professional.
- Look After Your Electrical. Mister Sparky reminds homeowners that amid spring cleaning, it’s important to also look after your electrical system. Repair any water leaks that may exist around your electrical fixtures and inspect electrical connections to devices and appliances that require water, such as your sprinklers and pools.
- Go Green. The Cleaning Authority is all about eco-friendly spring cleaning and its many benefits. Green cleaning is safer for the environment and for you and your family’s health. It’s also great for your wallet – in fact, many at-home all-purpose cleaners can be made with everyday products such as rubbing alcohol, dish soap, baking soda, and vinegar. You can even add a nice scent to your DIY cleaners with essential oils.
- Freshen Up Your Plumbing. Spring cleaning isn’t just about organizing your closet or cleaning out your cabinets. Benjamin Franklin advises homeowners to give plumbing appliances a deep clean as well. You can make a hard water stain remover by combining vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spraying it over the area you want to clean, letting it sit, and scrubbing the area with a toothbrush. For stubborn stains, you can pour the solution into a small bowl and add baking soda to make a paste.
