Spring has arrived in many parts of the U.S. The ideas below will help you prepare your home for a hassle-free summer.

• Clean showerheads and faucet aerators.
• Clean and seal tile grout.
• Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct and space under the dryer. This prevents lint from accumulating and reduces the risk of fire.
• Inspect washing machine hoses and replace when they show signs of wear or leakage.
• Inspect deck or patio for deterioration and safety hazards. Repair loose boards, protruding nails or other safety issues.
• Keep a multi-purpose fire extinguisher handy and ready for use.
• Wash the exterior of your house using ordinary garden hose pressure and a mild detergent.
• Caulk exterior joints around all windows and doors.
• Change air conditioner filters.
• Have a certified chimney sweep inspect and clean your chimneys.
