Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning tips

It’s that time of the year again—time for spring cleaning. This article features 6 frequently forgotten tips for giving your home a fresh start this spring. Examples include checking the expiration date on your Tide to Go pen, changing smoke alarm batteries and cleaning dryer vents and air conditioner filters.
1. Check the expiration date on your Tide to Go pen.

If your Tide to Go Pen has passed its expiration date, it has passed its prime! Toss it and get yourself a new one with this $1.00 coupon.*
* Limit one per household. By mail, while supplies last.
2. Stock up on sunscreen.

To heed or not to heed the expiration date on your half-used bottle of sunscreen? The answer is yes, indeed! Sunscreen loses strength over time.
3. Don’t overlook your overhead fan.

Before you turn on the ceiling fan and let the dust fly, wipe it down with a soft damp cloth.
4. Change your batteries.

This year, when you change the clock for Daylight Savings Time, change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, too.
5. Prepare for cool air.

If you want your air conditioner to take care of you when the heat sets in, you may want to take care of it while it’s still cool outside. Check the manual or ask your local service provider to learn how to change or clean the filters.
6. Update the first aid kit.

Every home should have a first aid kit. Check yours to make sure it is fully stocked before springtime scrapes and splinters send you scouring the house for tweezers, antiseptic, bandages, etc.
