Air Duct Cleaning
– Sometimes new homeowners overlook this detail or its not in their budget. We never give it much thought about what really is in our air ducts. Having your air ducts cleaned out is pretty straightforward. A professional cleaner can come out and open your vents, then with a long hose can use pressurized tools to clean inside your air ducts, removing debris, dust builds up, and hopefully not – mold.
Water System
– Use this time of year to remove old water filters or check water heaters and water softeners for any problems. If you have a reverse osmosis water filter nows a great time to change out your filters or check the water tank for any problems. Just to add more work why not have your water tested for any issues? With the increased problems occurring with city water systems these days, get some peace of mind and pick up a kit from your local hardware store, they are inexpensive and can give you confidence that your water is clean and safe for consumption.
Appliance Cleaning
– Appliance cleaning is important too. For dishwashers, you can pick up a special dishwasher cleaner online or any retail store. It’s a good idea to clean out filters and remove any debris inside, then run a cycle using the directions on the bottle. Have stainless steel appliances? You can bring back that luster and shine with specialty cleaning and polishing products. Use them for items like your dishwasher, oven, and refrigerator. Does your washing machine smell off? There are a few ways to tackle that funky smell. There are a few DIY methods online, like using a cup of vinegar or a mixture of baking soda. Or you can just pick up a product specifically for washing machines, run a cycle and enjoy a clean machine again. Check washing machine hoses. If your hoses are older then 5 years, they have the potential to leak, making you the proud owner of an indoor pool. Washing machine hoses are very inexpensive, water damage costs could reach thousands. Start your spring cleaning off to promote a healthy and clean atmosphere in your home.
