Spring is often associated with the cleaning of the home. Families will open the windows and begin dusting light fixtures, cleaning underneath rugs and behind furniture, and even vacuum between the sofa cushions. Freshening up your home may begin with a little bit of dusting and closet organizing, but if you really want to make a difference that will last, check out our list of some of the best Spring Cleaning tips.
Wall Scuffs & Dings
It is amazing how walls can get scuffed and dinged especially in hallways. It seems that as soon as you remove the scuff with a magic eraser, they re-appear the following day. Dings can also line the walls due to kids’ backpacks and door knobs. The best way to avoid these constant wall blemishes, is to give the walls a little more protection. Instead of painting and touching up the walls year after year, consider using Ultra Spec Scuff-X Latex Paint. Ultra Spec Scuff-X Latex Paint is scuff resistant, durable and can be washed down much more easily, so you and your family can enjoy your home without worrying about the walls.

Bathroom Mildew
Mildew is a constant problem in bathrooms and is the perfect spring cleaning project to tackle. It thrives in damp and humid environments that have little sunlight. Mildew can be cleaned with a mixture of water and bleach (3 parts water to one part beach) or with a household cleaner designed to kill mildew. But, it may be easier to paint with a mildew resistant paint like Aura® Bath & Spa. (Click HERE to shop online.) Learn more about Spring Cleaning Mildew in bathrooms – HERE.
Spring Cleaning or Disposal of Old Paint Cans
How much extra paint do you have stored in your garage? Many people do not give much thought when it comes to storing their paint. Most people just stack it in the hot garage. Properly stored paint can remain stable for at least five years. So, it is important to make sure you take the time to take care of your paint. But, if you didn’t store your paint correctly, you may want to properly throw it away as it is just taking up space and cannot be used again. The good news is that you can actually bring your old paint can or a sample from the actual painted wall to Helm Paint & Decorating so we can color match the paint color.
