During the winter months there are some things you can do around your house to keep it healthy and looking great until spring arrives again.
Tip 1 – Deciduous trees are pretty, but can be a lot of work, especially if you have a pool or outdoor entertaining area. Doing a quick sweep or skimming the pool regularly will save you from having a larger job on your hands down the track.
Tip 2 – Watering your garden is still important in winter. If you let your lawn or plants die off during the winter months, it may be a lot harder to get your garden looking good when spring and summer roll around. Some plants also benefit from fertilising at this time of year.
Tip 3 – Inside is just as important as outside. Dusting around door and window frames, blinds and shutters, washing curtains and vacuuming couches can freshen up the air and also help fend off hay fever and other allergenic conditions.
Tip 4 – Mould can be a real danger in some households, especially if they’re not aired out regularly. Remember to keep the air in your home circulating so that moisture is less likely to build up. If you find your house has condensation on windows, wipe over with a towel to prevent mould.
Tip 5 – Start eating any foods stored in your freezer to make way for winter favourites like soups and casseroles that can be frozen and reheated on those cold nights that you don’t feel like cooking.
