It’s starting to feel more like spring every day! It's the time of year when I want to get out and work in the yard and see what's blooming. Below is a list of some household chores that, when taken care of regularly, will help maintain your home.

1. Clean debris from flowerbeds, lawn & gutters

3. After the danger of frost has past take indoor plants outside and give them a good shower
4. Clean stove vents and refrigerator coils
5. Clean clothes dryer exhaust vent
6. Check batteries in smoke detectors
7. Have AC system inspected
8. Check fire extinguisher to assure it is filled and ready for operation
9. Wash windows and check caulking then open to air out house before the pollen count is up
10. Flip and vacuum mattresses and clean comforters and dust ruffles
11. Shampoo carpets, clean blinds and drapes
