"Local Ace stores are prepared to help customers take on summer projects around their homes quickly and easily by offering neighborly advice so that they can enjoy the rest of the season worry-free."
To help homeowners complete their summer home maintenance tasks, Manfredini offers these quick and easy solutions to the season's most popular projects:
- The first step is to make sure there are no food sources around to attract household bugs and keep counters and floors clean. Use to keep bugs at bay, such as Ortho® Home Defense Max® Insect Killer. Spray in corners along baseboards and openings under the sink. To stop ants before they come into the house, use Terro® Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits by placing them where ants are seen traveling.
- 90 percent of a good paint job is preparation and that just got a lot easier with , which eliminates the need to prime and paint surfaces separately. First, use a lightweight spackling compound to fill cracks and holes. Next, lightly sand those areas, and then wipe down the walls with soap and water to make sure they are clean and dry. Finally, apply Clark+Kensington to brighten up both the walls and the trim.
- Nothing will make your home look brighter than clean windows. To make the job more manageable, use an like Windex® Outdoor All-In-One Starter Kit cleaning tool. First, spray the exterior window glass with the cleaner and then use the padded pole to wash and clean the glass. Finally, rinse the window with clean water and watch as the windows dry streak free.
- The summer sun takes its toll on asphalt driveways. Bring it back to life by applying a new layer of to help protect the asphalt and give your home a neater appearance. Black Jack® Drive Kote 500® Driveway Filler and Sealer is easy to apply and will make your driveway look terrific in just a few hours.
- During the hot summer months, the A/C system can work overtime. Help it work more efficiently by keeping the filter clean and changing it when it gets dirty. Dirty filters cause less airflow throughout the home and use more energy to keep cool. Typically, filters should be changed every 30-60 days. The outdoor condensing unit may also be working overtime, so use a on the hose to spray the sides down to keep the coils clean and running at peak efficiency. When temperatures are over 90 degrees, switch the fan on the thermostat from "Auto" to "On." Leaving the fan on will help keep the indoor air more comfortable while saving money on the condensing unit outside, which will be running less.
