Rather than Springtime cleaning, I like to complete a thorough cleaning of my household during the winter.
The weather in my local area is especially brutal.
My friend and I deal with below-chilly rapidly changing temperatures for more than half the year. It’s not untypical to experience setback digits plus require the boiler to operate for eight months straight. My friend and I also expect numerous feet of snow plus dangerous wind chill. When I’m trapped inside, I like to be productive. I go through each room of the household plus organize plus clean. I strip the bedding, clean windows plus curtains, move furniture plus empty out closets plus cupboards. I disinfect down walls plus baseboards. I set up a ladder so that I can get to the webs in the corners of the ceilings plus clean the overhead light fixtures. Two years ago, when I stood on the top of the ladder, I noticed a significant increase in the temperature. Standing on the floor, I needed to wear a sweater plus felt slightly cold! Positioned on the top of the ladder, I started to sweat. This told me that the hot air gave by the boiler was rising straight up to the ceiling. The boiler was honestly running more often, laboring harder plus using more energy than necessary. My household wasn’t as comfortable as it could be. I was paying high energy costs for no reason. I looked into the concern plus discovered the benefits of ceiling fans. There are ceiling fans in all styles plus sizes available. There are models that include LED lights, operate by remote control plus offer numerous speed settings. On the majority of ceiling fans, there is a switch that allows the direction of the fan blades to be reversed, and running a ceiling fan during the winter time can save as much as 15% on heating bills. Setting the blades to spin clockwise at low speed creates a gentle updraft plus works to redistribute the hot air that tends to accumulate near the ceiling.
