Klassic Custom Decks • March 28, 2014

The bright sunshine, warmer temperatures and the greening of spring gives many people the energy to do some thorough spring cleaning. Unfortunately, majority of people only think about interior and simple tasks such as re-arranging the closets, cleaning cabinets and drawers and getting rid of unwanted items. Although this is part of cleaning, a thorough spring cleaning should also include Spring Cleaning Outdoor which entails clearing as well as maintaining the outside areas of your home.

Winter weather can be very damaging to the areas outside your house. It is therefore important for you to develop a to-do list before you start cleaning. A little planning always goes a long way in making your outdoor spring cleaning easier. Here are a few tips in the form of three easy steps that you can implement during your spring cleaning outdoor to be well prepared for the fun that comes with the warm weather.

1. Get your grill ready

Picnics and barbecues are usually an important part of summer just like baseball and beach trips. Your grill will be extremely needed when cooking and dining outdoors in the warm weather. Therefore, clean it as early as now. All you may need is a wire brush and some soapy water to get the work done depending on how well you have been cleaning your grill in the past.

2. Cleaning outdoor services

Composite decks, wood, railings, awnings, concrete and outdoor furniture are known to accumulate moss, mold, algae and mildew overtime. Get an Eco-friendly mold cleaner at your local store to gently get rid of outdoor stains. If you encounter larger and harder stains, you might be forced to make use of a pressure washer. This is perhaps one of the hardest parts of the task. If you do not have the time, you may want to get the help of a professional deck company.

3. Enhance your view

Clean windows can perform magic to the appearance of your entire home even from the outside. This is a wonderful time to remove the screens and give them a thorough wash. You may want to try hosing them if they are not very dirty. On the other hand, if they are very dirty, use some soapy water and scrub with a soft brush. Before replacing the screens ensure that your windows have received a good cleaning.
