Hi lovelies,

Are you excited about the summer? Are you ready to shake off your winter blues and welcome the warm sunshine? The summer is about having fun and making the most of the excellent weather, and for many people, this means having parties and entertaining guests at home.

However, now is the perfect time to start getting your home ready for the summer and ensure you are prepared to host your guests, whatever the weather!

Have a deep clean inside and out

Deep cleaning your home can be a massive task, so you can either break it down into smaller jobs or get the professionals to take care of it. Go room to room, paying attention to under furniture, windows, and skirting boards along with commonly overlooked areas such as under appliances, rugs, and light switches.

Once the inside is done, head outside, give your garden an excellent clean and tidy and make sure it is summer-ready. Get rid of any debris or rubbish from the winter sand and check the condition of your furniture and accessories.

Refresh your pool

A swimming pool is a perfect addition to any summer party. It provides a relaxed environment for people to relax and enjoy the hot weather. A pool can offer a welcome reprieve from the summer heat kicking in. If you have an above-ground or in-ground swimming pool, it is time to refresh it. Refresh your pool by draining it and opening all the filter and pump systems to clean them thoroughly. Inspect your pool's interior and exterior and make any needed repairs. Once the repairs are complete, refill the pool with fresh water. Be sure to add the appropriate chemicals to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. A professional pool cleaning company can help you make sure your pool is ready for guests this summer.

Service your air-con

Your air conditioner works hard in the summer months, so make sure that it's ready for the extra work by having it serviced. The technician will check for any damage, clean the internal parts, and replace any necessary parts. Make sure to have it serviced before the summer season starts. This will ensure that it is ready to go when you need it and won't break down during the season's heat. If you can't afford to have it serviced, you can clean it yourself. The best place to start is the filter. Cleaning the filter is essential, as a clogged filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder and break down sooner. 

Get some new lighting.

Adding new lighting can transform your space and make it more welcoming. You can add lighting to your patio or add some extra fixtures inside. A light fixture can be a great addition to your dining room or kitchen. If you have an open concept floor plan, you can add extra lights above the kitchen area. You can also use string lights for your patio or backyard. A string of lights is perfect for parties or relaxing outside on warm summer nights. They are also an inexpensive way to add some extra lighting.
