Some of Martin’s tips will include:
- HAVE A SAFE AND SECURE SPRING: The change of season is a great reminder to do a safety assessment of your home. Make sure to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and look into upgrading your home security system.
- EASILY TACKLE OUTDOOR AND INDOOR CLEANUP: There are many multifaceted tools that can easily help with both indoor and outdoor cleanup. Look for battery-powered tools that can handle multiple projects. This will not only assist your spruce-up but help your budget and reduce clutter in your shed and storage area.
- ADD PORCH APPEAL: Enhance your home’s porch appeal by giving your deck and patio furniture a fresh power wash. Also consider adding new colorful pillows and potted plants to refresh your outdoor space.
- DECLUTTER AND DONATE: Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there! Take the time to organize your garage, kitchen cupboards, and even closets. Donate anything that you no longer need.
