April is home and garden month!
What better time to start putting some love into your home and lawn?
You spend most of your time there, but there’s plenty of jobs piling up. Why not use this month to get those jobs done and also make improvements?
Here are a few ideas to help you get the most out of your home and garden this month.
Make your home eco-friendly
Everyone wants to be eco-friendly, but they don’t know how they can do it at home. Surely going green means you need to install large solar panels on your roof?
If that’s your thing, then go for it, but there are other ways you can go green too. The Huffington Post has a few ideas to help you save energy in your home.
Some of the best ideas on the list include the following:
- Using bamboo when you replace your hardwood flooring. It’s just as good as regular wood, but it grows back at a much higher rate than other woods. This means it’s replenished easily, so you can have the wood floors without the guilt.
- Cleaning with vinegar: It’s become more popular in recent years, for good reason. Vinegar is just as good at killing bacteria and mold as the regular household cleaners you can buy. It’s also a pet-friendly weed killer.
- Turn off the faucet: When brushing your teeth, make sure you turn off the faucet. If you just turn it on to rinse your toothbrush, you’ll save more water than you might think.
- Grow houseplants: Having houseplants is a great, easy and attractive way to improve air quality. If you’ve always wanted to improve your gardening skills, now’s the time to learn.
