Home REmodeling Projects That are Easy to Clean Part 3

Here is the third in the series. 

Windows That Can Handle Washing
 
Everyone knows that the main reason a power bill goes up in the winter is that there's generally a weak point in your windows or doors. Leaky windows are something that invites insect life and moisture into your home and is usually old enough that they're difficult to keep clean.
 
If you're noticing your energy bills have skyrocketed, and there's no way you can keep up with the insect life or mold that's suddenly in your home: it's time to replace your windows. Find window replacement inserts that match your home's style, and you'll give your property a fresh look while also keeping it clean and energy-efficient.

Tiled Bathrooms with Less Grout

Tile and bathrooms go together perfectly, but grout is hard to clean. When tiling your bathroom, remember that you can have grout lines as small as 1/16". This allows the grout to reach all the way to the bottom but is also thin enough so that you don't have to worry about a lot of grout discoloration over time. Larger tiles with more delicate grout lines can make a bathroom feel more spacious while staying clean and good-looking.
 
Ensure that whatever tile you get is slip-resistant and safe for use in a bathroom to ensure nobody falls or is injured.

Siding That Can Be Pressure Washed

Pressure washing is the best-kept secret to any home's exterior and ensures that your home looks brand new for years on end. Steel siding can stand up well against a yearly pressure washing and also allows you to paint it whenever you want a completely new look. Not only does this type of siding protect your home from moisture, temperature fluctuations, and insect life, when you pressure wash it, steel siding looks fresh and untouched.
 
The average pressure washer is less than a hundred dollars to rent for a day and will give you a chance to clean your home's exterior just once a year after pollen season passes through the area.

Updates Are a Chance to Make a Property Less Work
​
Although the main goal of any update is to ensure you can create a property with more value and visual appeal: it should also be to create a home that's more comfortable to live in. Save yourself a lot of time and work, and make a property that's easy to clean and easier to love living in.

Sealed Wood Surfaces
 
Sealed wood surfaces are a great way to keep up a polished and natural look in your home. You can pick any color or type of wood you want, whatever stain inspires you, and then seal it in so it lasts as long as possible.
 
In the spaces where you want gorgeous wood, find the best interior wood stain and sealer you can afford, and invest in this. This awesome wood protector will keep your wood surfaces dirty and grime-free while also giving you the chance to enjoy the beautiful home interior of your dreams.

Garage Floors That Repel Stains

Most garage floors have stains due to a vehicle leaking or something spilling. Unfortunately, this ruins the pristine and gorgeous look they usually have. To fix this, you can either use a liquid and stain repellent paint, or you can seal your concrete, so it doesn't have any chance of absorbing anything that spills or drips.
 
This will make your garage look fresh and new for longer and will allow you to increase the number of ways you use your garage since you won't have to worry about your things getting dirty or stained while they're in there.

Home Remodeling Projects That Are Easy to Clean, Part 1

Home renovation is a hot topic right now: but it’s important to remember that updating your property is the perfect time to create a home that’s beautiful and easy to live in. Part of that process is ensuring that it’s simple to take care of the home after you’ve updated it.

These are some of the best remodeling projects you can do to add beauty and ease to your daily life!

Gorgeous Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has made a huge comeback in recent years because of its ability to look like anything and the easy care it requires to keep it looking great. This is awesome for areas like the kitchen, where spills and dropped dishes are the most common. These are areas where you don't want a lot of grout, don't want hardwood flooring to risk water stains or denting, and you want to be able to look as custom as possible at the same time.

The best way to care for vinyl kitchen flooring is frequent light cleaning without abrasive cleaners or floor drenching. Not only is this simple to do, but it also keeps it looking fantastic for far longer.

​Sealed Wood Surfaces

Sealed wood surfaces are a great way to keep up a polished and natural look in your home. You can pick any color or type of wood you want, whatever stain inspires you, and then seal it in so it lasts as long as possible.

In the spaces where you want gorgeous wood, find the best interior wood stain and sealer you can afford, and invest in this. This awesome wood protector will keep your wood surfaces dirty and grime-free while also giving you the chance to enjoy the beautiful home interior of your dreams.
