Outdoor Clean-Up before Summer Entertaining #Giveaway

To contact us Click HERE

Last weekend we threw a big superhero themed party for the twins 4th birthday and while I was inside filling balloons and baking cupcakes, hubby was working on all the outdoor clean-up.  After arming him with a collection of P&G products all available at Home Depot; he cleaned the grill, washed all of outdoor furniture, swept the back patio, changed out a couple outdoor light bulbs, as well as emptied and refilled our hot tub.

We are both immediate fans of the Mr. Clean Outdoor Spray paired with Bounty Paper Towels as well as the Mr. Clean Outdoor Pro Magic Eraser.  It really takes off the outdoor grime effectively.  Our outdoor living space has never looked so good.  We'll definitely be pulling it out again before the 4th of July for touch up.
According to a recent Procter & Gamble (P&G) survey, only 25 percent of consumers clean their grills and only 20 percent of consumers clean their outdoor furniture. Yet keeping them cleaned can help them last longer. So, here are a few tips for getting your outdoor area ready for entertaining: 

• Maintain Your Outdoor Furniture – Keep it looking good all summer
• Inspect your Deck – Give it good once over -  check for loose nails, bricks, cracked concrete
• Remove the Clutter – Clean up, power wash, remove unnecessary items/debris.
• Accessorize – Add in the little touches (i.e., plants, outdoor lighting, lanterns, centerpiece)  
• Clean your Grill – Give your grill a clean start this season.
