Byers Outdoor Spring Cleaning Tips

Spring is just around the corner, and it is time to start thinking about cleaning up the outside of our homes. Springtime means warmer weather which in turn means barbecuing and inviting friends over. The first thing people notice when driving to your home is the outside. Use this checklist to help get your outside clean and ready to enjoy this spring.

• Wash your garage door and front door area.
• Clean deck or patio – pressure wash and/or use the correct cleaners for your deck or patio( make sure to use the proper setting on the pressure washer so you do not harm your deck or patio). Reseal or stain your decking.
• Wash your steps and driveway with a spray nozzle.
• Get out your outdoor furniture and/or give it a good cleaning. Check out these tips on How to Clean Outdoor Furniture from Better Home & Gardens.
• Check your gutters and remove any debris – think about switching to hassle-free Byers LeafGuard Gutters and never worry about your gutters again.
• Clean windows and screens – take the screens off and hose them down gently
