Often, a bit of decking oil and some elbow grease will be enough to get the deck into tip top condition, but make sure to get in a professional if there are more serious issues with loose planks or water damaged boards.

When the sun is out and the days are longer, it’s a great time to get the deck re-stained and looking glitzy in time for outdoor entertaining. While we’ve been cozied up in the comfort of the couch during winter, we may have neglected to look after the backyard deck. Most products on the market do all the heavy lifting for you – just spray, wait and wipe down. Speaking of baking, get out the cleaning products and give the oven a once over. Even if nobody sees those hidden high spaces, it’ll be comforting to know they’re not sprinkled in sugar and flour from all those winter bake offs. While you’re there, give the shelves a good wipe down. A little morsel of pain now will be rewarded ten fold when you can see all of your staples in a simple and uncluttered order. Throw out outdated spices, store dry goods in glass air-tight jars, and get rid of appliances that you don’t use.

These days spring cleaning means everything from throwing out or donating unused items to getting on with all those jobs that have mounted up during the winter months. This involves cleaning every corner in ones house – from the curtains to the furniture. A practice of “khaneh tekani” takes place, which literally translates to “shaking the house”. It’s believed that the origin of spring cleaning lies in Persian culture where the first day of spring coincides with the first day of the new year.
