Hazlemere Guide To Spring Cleaning Your Home

The Easter holidays are almost upon us which means only one thing, it is time to give your home a good spring clean. Now is as good a time as any to undertake all those strenuous jobs that you put off during the winter months. But as well as making your home look pretty, you should also strive to make it environmentally-friendly.
Have a read of the following to see whether your home meets all necessary criteria:
Energy
As a homeowner you have a responsibility to lower energy consumption, not just for the sake of your energy bills, but for the sake of the planet. For example, invest in appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, fridges etc. with as high an energy rating as possible, buy double or triple glazing and replace draughty doors.

Lighting
Replace all existing lighting bulbs with energy-saving equivalents as collectively they can save you a considerable amount of money per year. Whenever you leave a room unoccupied turn off all lights and make sure that light switches are within easy reach so that there is no temptation to leave lights on unnecessarily.
Insulation
If your home isn’t properly insulated then not only will you feel the cold indoors, but you will have to compensate for it by resorting to over-usage of your boiler, this will lead to expensive energy bills. To avoid this from happening, make sure you insulate your walls and the loft of your property as it will work hard to trap heat.
Once the interior of your home has been thoroughly dealt with you can look into ways of sprucing up the exterior or how about enjoying the best of both worlds by investing in a conservatory!
