Organize your home for the coming seasons

Consider the following checklist from The Home Depot Canada to help you tidy up and get organized for spring.

Pristine windows

Spotless windows can brighten up your interior décor, allowing natural light in and framing the outside view to perfection.

Get your ducts in a row

Cleaning out the ducts will improve air quality and circulation by helping keep the air dust and allergen free.

Dust and dirt be gone

Scrub away at dirt and stains with old-school brushes and sponges. For those small, hard to reach areas, an old toothbrush does the trick, especially on sharp corners.

Air accents

To mask garbage or laundry room odours, consider plug-in air fresheners, room sprays and candles. Those with sensitive noses should use air fresheners on the market that neutralize odours without leaving a scent.

Eco-centric choices

Consider using ecofriendly cleaning products when mopping and scrubbing the home. There are a variety of Eco Options products available at The Home Depot that will help protect our environment and help you get the job done.

Sort and store clothes

Leaf through the closet to select items and clothes you can either donate or store until next winter. If you haven't already, think beyond the closet rod and install a closet organizer to create more space.
