During the 1st part of
Covid, we decided to venture into lots of DIY home improvement since we had
the time on our hands. Turns out
home improvement
during the pandemic was at an all-time high. I think we were all a little stir
crazy and were tired of looking at the same 4 walls...so why not remove a wall
or 2.

Here are a few easy things to both keep you busy and improve your home during
Covid.
Get your Garden in shape
Weather permitting it is a great time to get your garden in shape and ready
for both spring and summer planting. It is the perfect time to clean up
debris, weed, and make a plan on what to plant. Are you doing to plant
flowers, fruits, and vegetables? Why not all of these things! This is a
great project to work on as a family, get out of the house, and reap some
great rewards for all your hard work.
I will admit it! I am the world's worst about holding on to things I will
never use again. I will stick it in our closet or storage building to never be
seen again. So why not use this time to go through that clutter and list it
for sale or donate it. These kinds of projects give me a major sense of
accomplishment when it is done. This would also be a great time to install a
closet organizer.
Over All Cleaning
Gasp....I know that hurts my feeling too. But why not? Start at the floor and
work your way up - sweep, dust, vacuum, and mop everything. Don't forget to
also remove those Christmas decorations. When cleaning your home, follow the rule of three. Clean the surface first. Next, apply disinfectant, let it sit for several seconds or minutes, then finish off by wiping the surface with a clean, dry towel or disposable wipes. Start from one corner, and work your way to the other side of the room. Don’t forget to put new things back in their place and close all those open doors or drawers; that’s where dust will collect.
The most important rule of all is to wear safety gear when using disinfectants and cleaning products. Besides being anti-bacterial, cleaning products can also be abrasive to your skin. It is almost a necessity that you have gloves with you when you start cleaning. Durable disposable gloves or puncture-resistant black nitrile gloves protect you from all the dirt and contaminants that might cause infections or other health problems. Cleaning goes a long way to freshen up the look of your home.
