Needless to say we did not make an offer an that home.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.gobecolorado.com/uploads/7/4/1/6/74163073/031423-air-filter-picture-dirty-orig_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">For most people their home is there largest investment, so be sure to not neglect yours.&nbsp; Besides changing out your air filter this spring here is a great list of spring cleaning tips to keep your home (&amp; life) in great shape:<br /><br />&#8203;&bull;A pressure washer loaded with dish detergent is a great way to&nbsp;clean your home's exterior.<br />&bull;Time for some lawn clean up! Aerate, fertilize, and seed your lawn&nbsp;after picking up any debris that may have built up over the winter&nbsp;months.<br />&bull;Clean out your gutters and make sure they are in good condition.<br />&bull;Clean your windows, inside and out.<br />&bull;Check and see if your HVAC filters and air purifier filters need to&nbsp;be replaced.<br />&bull;Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to declutter &ndash; clothes,&nbsp;shoes, beauty products, and other household items are all things&nbsp;you could go through. Donate what you can.<br />&bull;Get organized: refrigerator/freezer, pantry, and spice cabinet.<br />&bull;Don&rsquo;t forget to check expiration dates while you&rsquo;re organizing.<br />&bull;Replace worn out shower curtains and liners, towels, and bath&nbsp;mats.<br />&bull;Deep clean carpets, rugs, upholstery, and drapes/curtains<br />&bull;Use a damp towel to wipe down walls, baseboards and blinds and&nbsp;remove and wipe down your window screens. A mild dish&nbsp;detergent can also help with these tasks.<br />&bull;Pull out appliances and furniture to clean behind and underneath.<br />&bull;Your cleaning tools also need attention: replace as needed and&nbsp;swish your broom and mop around in warm, soapy water.<br />&bull;Vacuum and spot clean your mattress. If you have a mattress&nbsp;cover, wash that a well. Spraying your mattress with disinfectant&nbsp;afterwards is also a good idea. Take the time to flip your&nbsp;mattress and get both sides.<br />&bull;Toss your throw pillows in the wash with a mild detergent on&nbsp;gentle (if the fabric is machine washable). Tumble dry on low for&nbsp;no more than 30 minutes.<br />&bull;Clean your garbage can, and if it lives inside a cabinet, clean&nbsp;the cabinet as well.<br />&bull;Vent covers are often forgotten about. Take the time to wash&nbsp;them, not just dust them.<br />&bull;Deep clean your rugs and the surface underneath them.<br />&bull;Use white vinegar to tackle buildup on shower heads and&nbsp;faucets.<br />&bull;Clean cabinets inside and out, don't forget the top!<br />&bull;The inside of your washing machine and dishwasher could use a&nbsp;good clean to keep them running their best. Vinegar is a great&nbsp;tool to use for this task.<br />&bull;Your houseplants could use some love too, dust them off and&nbsp;repot as necessary.<br />&bull;Don't neglect doors: pay special attention to the areas that are&nbsp;touched a lot, especially by pets, as well as doorknobs/handles&nbsp;and hinges.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[NORTHERN COLORADO REAL ESTATE - SIGNS OF THE MARKET EASING]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.gobecolorado.com/life--adventure/northern-colorado-real-estate-signs-of-the-market-easing]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.gobecolorado.com/life--adventure/northern-colorado-real-estate-signs-of-the-market-easing#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2022 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.gobecolorado.com/life--adventure/northern-colorado-real-estate-signs-of-the-market-easing</guid><description><![CDATA[Inflation, interest rates and talk of a global recession have real estate markets in flux.
