Kennards Hire Tips For Preparing Your Home For The Festivities

As the Summer months roll on, it’s nearly time to get your family and friends together for the festive season. However, after a long winter your home may not be prepared for lots of guests. Kennards Hire New Zealand has prepared some simple tips to get the homestead to where it needs to be before a long hot summer full of entertaining.

Make a list, check it twice – Make sure you have two checklists; one for the tasks you need done and a second for the corresponding equipment. One way to organise things is by breaking up the lists into inside and outside jobs to easily divide your time over a few weekends.

Freshen up – Get those windows and doors open and the fresh air flowing. Months of being shut up tight can lead to pollen and dust lying dormant. So welcome as much fresh air and light in as you can.

Mould, be gone! – If it has been particularly rainy in your area over the colder months, there is a chance of mould build up. Check everywhere you can for mould growth, especially areas that don’t get much sunlight, behind the bed and drawers can often be hotspots for mould. Use a pressure washer to blast away any grime or mould. Moss and mould can also be an issue on outdoor stairs and pavement which can become slippery. Hire a pressure washer to blast away the grime and return your paved and concreted areas to their former glory.

Dream of steam – Using a steam cleaner is an incredibly efficient method of removing dust stuck deep inside the carpet, as well as stale odours. A steam cleaner is far superior to a traditional vacuum cleaner, keeping the home cleaner for longer.

Don’t pardon the garden – Get rid of any dead branches and other build-up on your garden bed and lawn, this will encourage new growth. Another good trick is to aerate the lawn with a lawn corer, which will keep water from building up under the top growth, keeping your lawn looking green and ready for hours of backyard cricket.

No Dunny, Isn’t Funny – Sometimes when you’re so busy, the obvious things that get overlooked. If your house is packed to the rafters with friends and family, it can be a smart move to hire a portable toilet or shower that sits outside, and reduces traffic through the most used room in the house; the bathroom.

Having the right equipment will make cleaning up the homestead a breeze, so it’s best to get your hands on quality gear to save you the time and effort. If you don’t have all the necessary tools, your local Kennards Hire branch is set up with the equipment and know-how to make any summer cleaning job easy.
