Outdoor Spring Cleaning Checklist  

General Home Exterior

• Clean the exterior of the home, hard surfaces, and outdoor structures with a power washer or hose. 
• Check to see if your outdoor hose bib suffered any damage. 
• Check the garden hose to see if it there are cracks or holes. 
• Inspect the gutters around the house. Remove debris. 

Lawn and Garden

• If you added burlap to trees or shrubs in the fall, it is time to remove it. 
• Prune trees, shrubs, and flowers so the plants can take off with new growth. 
• Rake fallen leaves and dead foliage. 
• Clean out flowerbeds to prepare the soil. Remove existing mulch to set the stage for new mulch. 
• Remove lawn damaged from salt or plows, and reseed bare areas.

Heating and Cooling

• Have your HVAC equipment serviced before your air conditioner is needed. 
• Replace your air filter. 
• Hire a professional to clean the AC unit coils so that it can operate efficiently. 
• Turn on the AC to make sure it is working. If it is not, call a professional in early spring to have it repaired before the busy season. 
• Make the management of your home equipment easy with a No Worries Protection Plan. Have your equipment cleaned and serviced by a licensed professional! For more information go to www.nationalhs.ca
