April Home Maintenance Tips

House

Clean and shampoo your carpets.
Wax your wood furniture. Make minor repairs as you find them.
Wash woodwork including moldings, baseboards, and doors. You may want to enrich any dry wood using lemon oil.
Clean light fixtures and chandeliers. Put what you can in the dishwasher. Crystal or painted glass shades, though, should be hand cleaned.
Dust your lampshades. You may want to remove the shade and dust them off outside.
Take down your curtains and drapes. Wash or dry clean.
Wash mini-blinds, blinds, or shades. This is a good time to repair or replace any damaged ones.
Go through bookshelves. Donate any books that you no longer need. Clean the shelves, dust your books, and return them to their proper locations.
Sort through videos, DVDs, electronic games, and CDs. Donate what you don’t want.
Sort through your computer clutter. Find a recycling center for dead equipment. Pitch disks and floppies that you can’t read on your current systems.
Polish silver, brass, and copper pieces.
Set aside garage sale items, drop off donations, and haul garbage to the dump.

Turn on the water supply and check your automatic sprinkler system. Turn the water on to your hose bibs.
With heating season gone and air conditioning season weeks away, now is a good time to have your furnace or heating system checked

Yard

Start your lawn care program. It is time to apply Scott's Step 2 fertilizer.
Topdress and reseed lawns. Mow when grass gets to be 4" high.
Fertilize almost everything: trees, shrubs, flowers, and the lawn.
