Summer's warm weather is perfect for property maintenance. Here are some tips to get your home and outdoor space ready for the season.
1. Touch Up Your Home Exterior
Summer's dry weather is ideal for exterior paint jobs. Focus on your front door, garden fence, and window frames to boost curb appeal.
2. Decorate with Summer Brights
Add bold, bright colours to your home. Try painting a feature wall or upcycling furniture with sunny hues like yellows, pinks, or greens for a fresh, happy vibe.
3. Deep Clean Your BBQ
Clean your barbecue thoroughly before summer. Submerge the grates in soapy water, let them sit, then scrub off any residue. Regular cleaning prevents fire hazards and keeps your BBQ ready for use.
4. Spruce Up Garden Furniture
Clean and revitalize your outdoor furniture with warm soapy water or a pressure washer. Consider weatherproof paint or varnish to give it a new look.
5. Swap to Summer Bedlinen
Replace heavy winter bedding with lighter, cooler options like linen, which is durable and improves with each wash.
6. Get Your Garden Ready
Mow the lawn, remove weeds, prune plants, and clean bird baths. Add personal touches like hanging chairs, string lights, and cosy cushions to create a relaxing outdoor space.
7. Look Out for Mould Growth
Inspect for mould and clean it with soapy water. Use Peace Lilies to absorb excess moisture and prevent mould growth.
8. Fill Your Home with Greenery
Add indoor plants or creatively display garden twigs and flowers to bring the outdoors in.
9. Clean Your Windows
Wash windows inside and out to remove dust and grime. Use a vinegar solution for a sparkling finish and clean window frames with a toothbrush for hard-to-reach spots.
10. Remove Ventilation Blockers
Remove draught excluders and other ventilation blockers to improve air circulation as the weather warms up.
