Say Goodbye to Winter with Top Seasonal Spruce Up Tips and Tricks

With the temperatures rising and flowers blooming, it's natural to crave a little spring update around the house. There are a handful of easy and inexpensive things that you can do to spruce up your home this spring, while saving money and keeping your home fabulous! Whether it be cleaning out the pantry, or switching out old appliances for shiny new ones, spring fever has us ready to pack up the old, and refresh with the new! Lifestyle expert, Tara Aronson, is sharing some of her favorite tips on how to jump start your spring cleaning and get your home ready for the warmer weather.

• Maytag’s new Front Load Washer & Dryer: Spruce up your laundry process so you can get out, get active and focus on doing what you love this season. Consider Maytag’s new Front Load Washer & Dryer with Extra Power Button to help tackle spring’s stains. Some stains dissolve better in hot water, others in cold and with a push of the extra power button you can fight both in a single load. And the extra power button on the dryer helps prevent under drying by getting those thick fabrics, pockets and seams drier the first time. For those busy spring weekends when you forget to switch your laundry from the washer to the dryer – don’t worry – this model keeps clothes smelling fresh with an internal fan and intermittent tumbling that circulates air through clothes after the wash cycle ends, thanks to the Fresh Hold Option.

• BLACK+DECKER™ dustbuster: Brand new this year is the dustbuster® AdvancedClean+ Hand Vacuum which features an extra-long crevice tool that makes it easy to vacuum hard-to-reach places. It has 2 speeds and is seriously powerful! 4X more suction power vs. the leading dustbuster hand vacuum, plus it has a one-touch button that opens an extra-large dust bin to allow for easy emptying directly into the trash, helping to keep hands clean.

• Viva® Multi-Surface Cloth™: Americans spend a lot of time cleaning, and the act of cleaning also consumes their daily thoughts and overall happiness, finds a new survey from Viva Brand.
