We've discussed the bathroom, so let's talk deep clean. Take a moment to pull down the shower curtain to drop in the washer and wipe down the cabinets and walls. A good brush to scrub the base of the toilet will make your job easier. That fresh smell? Unbeatable!
Cleaning and organizing can be time-eaters, so to keep the procrastination bug at bay, set a timer for tidying. 15 minutes might be good to start. When the timer dings, put the cleaning rag away and off to something more interesting! You won't mind starting the next time when you know the end is only minutes away!
If you want to freshen up the fabrics in a room but aren't sure where to start, create a "fashion fabric" bulletin board. Attach samples of fabrics that interest you and try to live with them for a week or two. You'll soon know which you prefer, and you can begin your update with confidence!
If you live outside the city, you likely have a septic tank hiding in your yard. It's never fun to have one back up, so now's a good time to schedule an inspection to learn whether it needs a good pumping or not. You'll be grateful the next time you decide to take that extra-long shower or run several loads of laundry over the weekend!
It's time to look outside the house to keep March successful. Many trees shed in the spring, and your gutters can fill up fast. Before water backs up under your shingles or damages your foundation, clear your gutters and downspouts. You can add gutter screening for areas that tend to clog up quickly! Good drainage is on the way!
