his ultimate home maintenance checklist for spring will help you get organised \u2014 it covers 22 jobs for a top-to-bottom clean.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Let\u2019s be honest, there are two kinds of people in the world; those who love spring cleaning, and those who would rather leave it to the professionals and skip it all together.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already powered through your spring clean you can use this checklist to see if there\u2019s anything you missed; and if you\u2019re yet to get stuck in, here\u2019s everything you\u2019ll need to think about for a thorough spring clean. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Carpet<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Spring is a great time to clean the carpets after with mud and rain.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

Home Maintenance Checklist: Inside<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

The most common jobs you can do inside your home to feel that spring cleanliness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Clean oven<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

With plenty of use over the winter months you may have noticed a build up of residue, a particular odor or even smoke. It can be an easy (yet certainly not glamorous) DIY job. Homemade or store-bought cleaning products will do the trick.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean carpets<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Stains from winter boots and mud are best removed sooner rather than later. And now that the weather has warmed up, you can get the carpets cleaned and dried without causing too much of an interruption around home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Check aircon<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Ensure your cooling system is prepped for summer by getting a HVAC specialist to change the air filters, clear PVC vent pipes of any obstructions, and clean the boiler and gas systems. If you\u2019re looking to reduce cooling costs longer term (and minimise humidity and mould in the house), you could consider investing in central heating.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Dust hard to reach places<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

It can be easy to confuse hayfever with a buildup of dust in the home. It can also be easy (and convenient) to forget about high areas like the top of your cabinets, fridge, rangehood, ceiling fan and aircon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Wipe down interior walls<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Walls are one of those unsuspecting places where dust can build up over time. Cooking aromas (plus those pesky oven odors) can stick around long after you\u2019ve cooked a meal, and pet odors can also contribute to this build up. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Did you know: clean windows can make a big difference in solar gain, <\/span>keeping the house nice and warm after sunset.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>

Home Maintenance Checklist: Somewhere In-Between<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


<\/b><\/p>\n

Drain water heater<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

This task is also easy to ignore because it’s out of sight, out of mind \u2014 but the good news is that water heaters, or cylinders, only need a major service by a qualified professional every couple of years. Draining your water heater flushes mineral deposits and sediment build up to help it run more efficiently which does two things: it saves you money on electricity bills now, and prolongs the life of your water heater saving you money in the long run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Clean windows<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean both inside and out to reap more rewards than just a clear view; clean windows can make a big difference in solar gain, keeping the house nice and warm after sunset. While you\u2019re cleaning the windows, check the sealant to ensure it\u2019s still intact for water tightness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Inspect weather-stripping<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Look for any warping, cracking or deterioration in general. Some other signs it\u2019s time to replace weather-stripping are when you can feel a draught or see light coming through from the edges of the frame.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tell us about your job, and we’ll find you the right tradies to choose from, usually within minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Scrub grout<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not the most riveting job on the home maintenance checklist, it is one area that can benefit from regular maintenance to avoid a build up of dirt, mould and mildew. An old toothbrush and a homemade cleaning solution should do the trick – but if you need a heavier duty grout solution, be sure to check the compatibility with your tiles first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Clean out fireplace<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

If you have a wood-burning fireplace, maintenance is imperative for two reasons: it can reduce the risk of a chimney fire, and it can also fulfill your due diligence requirements for home insurance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can clean out charred logs and ash, but as for the chimney sweep, that\u2019s a job best left to a professional.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Clogged gutters can lead to blocked pipes, water leaks and flooding.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>

Home Maintenance Checklist: Outside<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


<\/b><\/p>\n

Gardening<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Spring is the perfect time to get busy in the garden. Planting a veggie garden, trimming hedges and clearing leaves are great places to start. If you\u2019re stuck for landscaping ideas, check out how these homeowners transformed their small space<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Check roof<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Try to inspect your roof from ground level to spot signs of wear and tear like cracked, missing or broken shingles, and loose roofing materials. If there are other signs like leakage or sagging, it might be time to get a professional inspection done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Wash exterior cladding<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

A soft broom and hose can get the job done for a general clean. But to remove dirt, stains and mildew, a safe pressure wash will get you the best results. Before washing make sure you cover plants, electrical outlets and windows to avoid any mishaps.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean gutters<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clogged gutters can lead to blocked pipes, water leaks and flooding. For this reason, maintaining your gutters is another job you\u2019ll need to do to meet home insurance requirements. With dry conditions, a ladder and some good balance you\u2019ll be able to pull out any leaves and debris. For multi storey homes it could be a good idea to get a professional in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Backyard<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Take a look<\/a> at how these Christchurch homeowners turned an \u201cOvergrown, Cluttered And Unwieldy\u201d garden into a dream backyard.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Home Maintenance Checklist: Outside<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


<\/b><\/p>\n

Inspect driveways and paths<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

An easier job on the home maintenance checklist \u2014 take a leisurely walk around your property to look for any damage to walkways, paths and driveways. Catching cracks and chips early can allow you to carry out repairs now rather than replacements later.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Fertilise your lawn<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt a successful lawn takes dedication. Prepare (or repair) the area by clearing weeds and unwanted grass, select the right seeds for your climate and keep it nourished with good soil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Paint exterior cladding<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a big job – but vital to your home\u2019s longevity. You can prep the exterior ahead of painting by water blasting, scraping off original paint or sanding down (depending on the cladding material). If painting over an old coat, ensure the new paint is compatible, otherwise it can cause peeling or chipping.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean the BBQ<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

BBQ season is upon us; and even if you have a cover, you might need to give it some TLC to dust off that winter grime. There\u2019s a multitude of different cleaning methods available online. And while you\u2019re out there, inspect the hoses, connections and gas bottles for anything that may need replacing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Check sprinklers<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

This one\u2019s best to try on a warm day. Turn on the sprinklers (either in zones or all at once) and walk around to make notes of any sprinkler heads that are broken or damaged. Adjust the direction of any heads that are spraying the house, deck or street to avoid moisture problems and water wastage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Home Maintenance Checklist: Outside<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Check screen doors and windows<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Look closely for any holes or tears \u2014 no matter how small \u2014 as once they start they\u2019ll only get bigger. If you do see any areas that need attention, you can patch it with a DIY repair kit.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Service lawn mower<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Like cars, lawn mowers need maintenance, too. Drain and replace the fuel, clean the undercarriage and sharpen the blade (if you have the right tools). Check the oil, air filter and spark plug to make sure everything runs smoothly when it comes time to mow. Don\u2019t forget to fill up the fuel can next time you\u2019re at the petrol station.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean out garage<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

If the cold prevented you from staying out there long enough to put things back in their normal place, chances are your garage may be looking a little messy. A general clean out, sweep and reorganisation will make spring and summertime jobs effortless when you know where everything is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Clean and stain deck<\/b><\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the more time-intensive jobs on this home maintenance checklist, but well worth it. There\u2019s a fair bit involved, especially for older decks. Various stages before the staining can include a sweep and wash, tending to nails, removing mould and sanding if necessary. Once you\u2019ve prepped the deck and have chosen the type of stain, you\u2019re away \u2014 the best kind of weather is a warm, overcast day with low humidity (and no sign of rain).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
