May Home Checklist.Some maintenance tasks need to be done once or twice a year. The problem is that we forget to do them once or twice a year. Or else, we tend to save it all for spring cleaning. Instead, try breaking annual chores down and tackling them by month instead. Here's my checklist for May: 1 Al fresco: Clean patio furniture and umbrella. 2 Step on it: Clean doormats – or invest in new ones. 3 Duct calls: Clean ac and/or heating ducts; change filters. 4 Chill: If you have a window unit, make sure the air conditioner is debris free. 5 Sunshine cleaning: Clean the laundry room. Clean the washing machine while you’re at it by running an empty load on “hot” with a cup of chlorine bleach. 6 Ducts redux: Clean dryer ducts. Many fires each year are caused by lint accumulating here. 7 No excuses: Clean the charcoal grill or your gas grill so there's no reason not to cook outside. 8 Power play: Power wash the patio and/or deck. Seal the wood, if necessary. 9 Taking sides: Clean the siding of your house with a hose. Wash off cobwebs, dirt, etc. 10 Nitty gritty: Mold or mildew on the walls? Scrub it off with a solution of diluted chlorine bleach, water and laundry detergent. How to Clean Patio Furniture
