Throw open those doorsand windows -- there isno better cure for

months of winter than somefresh spring air.

But with spring, comesspring cleaning. And if thethought of pulling out mops,buckets and brooms bringson more stress than serenity,remember that a few tricksand some great tunes canmake cleaning easier andperhaps even fun.

Set the MoodThere are work playlists,

workout playlists -- why not acleaning playlist? Put togeth-er some of your favorite,preferably upbeat tunes tomotivate you while you’reworking and keep that musicplaying when you’re cleaning.

Give your nose some senso-ry motivation too. Spray afresh clean scent to remindyou of what’s to come whenthe work is done.

SimplifyThe soups, stews and heavy

cooking of winter earnkitchen appliances every-

where a little tender lovingcare.

While the task of cleaningaccumulated splatters andstuck-on food residue from ofheavy winter cooking cansound overwhelming, thereare cleansers that can makethe sprucing process a lot lesslabor-intensive.

You can clear the cutter ofyour cabinet by opting for acleanser that works on a vari-ety of surfaces and appli-ances. For example, affreshKitchen & appliance cleaner

and Stainless steel cleanercan be used on refrigerators,microwaves and countertops,and won’t be too abrasive onfinishes. And unlike ammo-nia or bleach-based cleaners,you can simply spray andwipe down without rinsing.

Renew the RefrigeratorIt’s easier to clean the

fridge with less in it, so priorto starting, throw out what’sold, pull out what stays androll up your sleeves.

Clean door gaskets, racksand drawers with warm

water and mild dish deter-gent. Don’t forget to cleanunderneath the refrigeratorand the vent of the appliance.Proper air flow provides betterperformance and optimumefficiency. Once it's all sparklyclean, admire your handi-work. Then put your foodback inside before it spoils.

MaintainThe dishwasher cleans

dishes. What cleans the dish-washer? Don’t stress!Cleaning the dishwasher maybe one of the easiest tasks onyour checklist. Just run a nor-mal wash cycle and add aneasy-to-use tablet, such asaffresh Dishwasher cleaner, tothe bottom of the tub to helpclean and remove residue.

Likewise, you can cleanyour washing machine by run-ning a normal cycle with hotwater and a washer cleanertablet. A formulated tabletdesigned to penetrate, dis-solve and help remove odor-causing residue from theinside of the machine will giveyour washer and your clothesa fresh scent.

Don’t forget to check wash-er and dryer drains and pipesfor blockages -- such as lint orthe infamous missing sock --to improve optimum waterand air flow. Clean the dryer'soutside exhaust to help short-en drying time and decreaseenergy use.

If you’re considering buy-ing a home, some expertsthink you should get a

move on it. Interest rates areat 65-year record lows andnational home prices havefinally hit bottom and are onthe rise. Despite what youmay be hearing, loans areavailable for those with goodcredit histories, stable incomeand sufficient savings.

But don’t jump right inunprepared. Whether you’re

a seasoned buyer or a newbie,there are strategies that canhelp you throughout thehome-buying process:

Stick to Your BudgetDetermining how much

“home you can afford”depends on several factors,including your annual grossincome, credit history, cur-rent mortgage rates and theamount of your down pay-ment.

In today’s market, you can

expect a down payment togenerally be between 5 to 20percent of the purchase pricefor a conventional mortgage.Lenders recommend thatyour mortgage payment(principal, interest, taxes andmortgage insurance) be lessthan 28 percent of yourmonthly gross income.

Before looking for a home,consider calling aDepartment of Housing andUrban Development-

approved housing counselorfor free and confidentialfinancial assistance.

Avoid Borrowing PitfallsUnscrupulous lenders can

damage your credit and causeyou financial hardship. Hereare some ways to avoidbecoming a victim:

� Say ‘no’ to easy money.Beware if someone claimsthat your “credit problemswon’t affect the interest rate.”If a solicitation is really

appealing, get it in writingand seek a second opinion.

� Talk to several lendersto find the best loan.

� Know if the loan offeredto you charges a fee if youpay it off early. If it’s arequirement of the loan, askabout other products thatdon’t contain this type ofpenalty.

� Ensure documents arecorrect and complete.Beware of anyone offering tofalsify your income informa-tion to qualify you for a loan.Never sign documents thathave incorrect dates or blankfields.

� Ask for written esti-mates that include all pointsand fees. When you get tothe closing table, if any feesor charges differ from whatwas previously disclosed,delay closing until all termsare understood.

� If you’re taking equityout of your property, onlytake the minimum. Equitytypically builds slowly overtime, so it’s important to tryto preserve it.

� If you’re not sure, don’tsign! Get advice first from areputable consumer creditcounseling agency or hous-ing counselor.

Know the MortgageProcess

Mortgages are seriouslong-term financial commit-ments. Selecting the rightmortgage may make a bigdifference in your monthlypayments and overall cost ofyour loan.

To determine the bestterm for your personal situa-tion and one that aligns withyour financial goals, talkwith your lender or financialprofessional for guidance.

The prospect of makingsuch a big investment can beintimidating, especially ifyou’re a first time homebuy-er. Do your research, reachout to the professionals, stickto your budget and be sureyou’re ready to take on thefinancial responsibilities ofbeing a homeowner.

Whether you’re mak-ing a fast trip tothe store or leav-

ing on a two-week vacation,are you confident that lock-ing your doors is enough tokeep your home safe andsecure?

You can go a step furtherby investing in impact-resist-ant laminate glass in yourwindows, according toexperts.

Engineered to deter forcedentry by intruders, theseenergy-efficient windowsalso resist high winds and fly-ing debris during severestorms and reduce unwantedoutside noise from enteringyour home.

Similar in design toimpact-resistant glass foundin code-driven coastal areahomes, special laminatedglass known as SafePointglass offers extra protectionfor homes, 24-hours a day,seven days a week.

“This glass is designed tohelp make a home a safehaven,” says Ken Kubus ofSimonton Windows. “Inaddition to helping protectthe home, laminated glassprovides excellent energyefficiency and serves as a bar-rier against heat transfer. Italso plays a role in loweringheating and cooling costswhile keeping interiors com-fortable. And it screens outmuch of the sun’s harmfulultraviolet rays that can dam-age carpets, furnishings andartwork.”

There are several otherthings homeowners can do tohelp keep their families safe athome -- especially when itcomes to windows:

� Children should betaught at a young age to stayaway from windows for theirown safety. Parents can helpsafeguard children by keepingfurniture (including cribs) andanything else a child canclimb, away from windows.

� If your home has doublehung windows, open only thetop part of the window thatchildren cannot reach, toallow for ventilation.

� Never push on windowscreens, as they will not sup-port the weight of a child orfamily pet. Remember, theprimary purpose of a screen isto keep insects outside.

� Lock windows when notin use to protect against

intruders and make it moredifficult for curious children toopen windows.

� Do not paint or nail win-dows shut. Every window inthe home that is designed tobe opened should be opera-tional in case of an emergency.

� Refrain from nailing orattaching decorative lights tothe interior or exterior of win-dow frames.

� Plant shrubs or grass, and

place “soft landscaping” likebark or mulch, directly under-neath windows to help lessenthe impact should someoneaccidently fall out of a window.

More window safety tips areavailable by calling 1-800-SIMONTON to request a freecopy of a booklet entitled, “Afew things to think aboutwhen thinking about yourhome.”

Selling a home in today’saggressive marketplacecan be challenging.

The good news is there are afew tweaks that can givehomeowners a serious leg upon the competition.

With the warmer monthsbeing the most active time ofyear to buy and sell realestate, it’s important toensure your home is seen inthe best light possible.

“Despite the influx ofhomes for sale this season,the process of buying andselling a home can be simple,efficient and enjoyable,” saysWendy Froehlich ofHomes.com, one of the

nation’s top online real estatelisting and lifestyle resources.

According to Homes.com,the top five projects thatimprove home equity are:

BathroomsIf adding an additional

bathroom isn`t an option,upgrade existing ones.

Adding a dual vanity to amaster or secondary bathimproves functionality,allowing multiple people touse the space. Change out fix-tures like faucets and showerdoors to increase aestheticappeal. If you’re on a budget,replace light fixtures orswitch plates to help refreshthe space.

When working with asmall space, highlight storageoptions with shelving andupdate or remove wall decor,paint or wallpaper.

KitchenKitchen renovations can

cost anywhere from $20,000to $40,000 and more. Ifthat’s not in your budget,upgrading cabinetry andpaint does wonders to livenup even the most outdatedspaces.

Add crown or decorativemolding to “shape out” thekitchen cabinets and mod-ernize the space. Repaintcabinets, or add new hard-ware to add visual interest

and brighten dark spaces.Outdoor SpacesCurb appeal adds immedi-

ate interest to any home’sexterior. According toRemodeling Magazine,improving outdoor spacescan increase a home’s resalevalue dollar-for-dollar.

Frame the front walkwaywith items that add visualinterest, like flowers, pottedplants, large rocks of varioussizes and solar-poweredlights. If yard space is scarce,hanging plants are anothergreat, low-cost option.

Extend outdoor projects tothe backyard -- power-washdecks or patios and clean

screened-in areas.BasementBasement improvements

can optimize livable space andprotect the home fromextreme weather, mold, mois-ture damage and mites.Whether transitioning thebasement to a home gym,office or family room, thebasics remain the same: insu-late well and waterproof.

Maximize space by includ-ing shelving and storage units.If the opportunity exists,make the space feel open andinviting by creating an openstairwell, a trick that visuallyconnects the upper part of thehouse with the lower, and fil-ters natural light into thespace.

MudroomMudrooms ensure families

stay clutter-free and have adedicated space to drop stuffas they come through thedoor. They can also makepotential homeowners feelwelcome upon entry.

While knocking out a wallto create a mudroom is expen-sive and labor-intensive, youcan make a “drop zone` bysimply anchoring a bench toan empty wall and hanginglabeled storage units.

Making homes stand out ina sea of real estate listings isn’talways easy. More tips onincreasing home values can befound at www.Homes.com.
