Spring Has Sprung! Is Your Facility Ready?

After a late start, it appears that spring has finally sprung and your residents are doubtlessly looking forward to being able to spend more time outdoors. Have you given your facility a good “spring cleaning” to ensure that both inside and outside are ready for longer, warmer days?

We’ve created this handy spring cleaning checklist to help you out!

• Contact a pest control company to make sure that your facility is protected against invaders such as flies, rodents, cockroaches and ants
• Bring your outdoor furniture out of storage and clean it thoroughly before placing it outside
• Scrub your grill and prepare it for outdoor barbeques
• Make sure that vegetation that could trip residents hasn't grown up over sidewalks and walkways
• Wash all of the windows, both inside and out
• Vacuum window screens
• Clean window coverings, including draperies, blinds and screens
• Shampoo and vacuum carpets
• Dust cobwebs out of the corners on the floor and ceiling
• Remove and clean lighting fixtures and lampshades
• Move all furniture and vacuum underneath it
• Clean the cupboards and oven in the kitchen

Finally, once your facility is in tip-top shape, get outside and enjoy the fresh air!
