Prepare Your Home for Spring: Tips from Home Depot Experts
Spring Cleaning
As the first day of spring approaches, it’s time to refresh your home with a thorough cleaning. Start by scrubbing your floors to remove winter grime. Use a powerful soap scrubber or handheld scrubbers to clean hard-to-reach spots on walls and surfaces.
Don’t forget your windows! A spray window and screen cleaner attached to your garden hose makes it easy to remove dirt, debris, and built-up grime without removing the screens.
Upgrade Your Cleaning Tools
Invest in quality cleaning tools to make your spring cleaning easier. A powerful soap scrubber can tackle tough stains and scuff marks, while classic handheld scrubbers and sponges are perfect for cleaning tile, fiberglass, siding, and walls.
Yard Maintenance
Spring is the perfect time to revitalize your lawn and garden. By focusing on lawn maintenance early in the season, you’ll ensure a greener, healthier grass all summer long.
Rebuild Your Lawn
Grab some grass seed, fertilizer, and soil to give your lawn the TLC it needs. With the right products and care, you can build up a thick, lush green space without unsightly patches.
Get Gardening
Spring is a gardener’s paradise. From vegetables to flowers, there’s something for everyone to grow. If you have bare spots in your yard, now is the perfect time to spruce things up with flowerbeds.
Brighten your space with colorful annual shrubs or plant seeds to start your garden off right. Remember to add some mulch, a sprayer for delicate flowers, and weed control to keep your garden thriving.
