I was reading an online article today about three ways to jumpstart my spring cleaning, and I decided to amend it a bit.
Number One was to change our central heating filters. I don't know about you, but every professional I have spoken to always says "Buy the cheap ones, because the air flow is good, and change them every time you pay your utility bill". So if you haven't changed your filters since the weather turned cold...perhaps you might want to make a new, new years resolution! Change often!!!
And on the subject of filters -- did you know they should be changed at least every 6 months. (Not a year) Think about how skanky your pet waterers get if you don't clean them out!
Number Two: Test smoke alarms. Good call. Don't wait for the chirp.
Number Three: They say to wipe down walls and baseboards. That's a big job. Maybe choose a wall a day, or a room a week.... There's all sorts of tips on Google on how to best clean. Knock yourself out or hire a professional.
If you need a recommendation for a local expert? Call me, I've got a list of folks my clients and I have used that I can help you out with.
