SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2020

Spring cleaning for spring allergies 6 steps from the experts (BPT) — As days grow longer and new blooms appear, it can only mean one thing: Spring is here and with it comes the task of spring cleaning. For people with allergies, spring cleaning does more than spruce up a home. When done correctly, it removes dust, mold, dander and other allergy triggers so you can feel your best.

“There are specific things you can do while cleaning that can dramatically improve allergy symptoms,” says Dr. J. Allen Meadows, allergist and president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “When you spring clean to remove allergens, you can breathe easier plus enjoy a sparkling home.”

Meadows and the experts at ACAAI recommend these steps when cleaning for allergies. Before you begin, keep in mind that when you clean you come in contact with many allergens. You may want to take allergy medication beforehand and if your allergy is severe, consider wearing an N95 filter mask while dusting or scrubbing.

STEP 1: DUST THOROUGHLY Dust all surfaces in your home with a damp rag or microfiber cloth made for cleaning. Avoid using any kind of duster that simply kicks dust into the air. Additionally, clean vents and return registers to limit dust recirculating and finish by wet mopping tile and other hard flooring. Don’t neglect the area under the beds, which can get dusty and should be cleaned often. Eliminating dust helps your home shine and also removes some of the most notorious indoor allergy triggers.

STEP 2: CLEAN CARPETS Start by moving all furniture off the carpet.

Then vacuum well with a cyclonic vacuum, which spins dust and dirt away from the floor, or a vacuum with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter. Meadows does not advise shampooing carpet, because it can cause dust mite eggs to

hatch. If you are using diluted bleach and water solution for spot treatments or to kill mold, make sure someone other than the allergy sufferer does the cleaning because bleach can trigger asthma.

STEP 3: CLEAN WINDOW TREATMENTS Window treatments like curtains and valances can be a magnet for dust and pollen yet are often ignored when it comes to cleaning. This spring, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and wash or dry clean window treatments. Remember, opening windows allows pollen and other allergens into your home, so during peak allergy season keep them closed, and whenever possible, use air conditioning in your car and home.

STEP 4: WASH BEDDING Wash sheets, pillowcases and blankets in water that is at least 130 degrees F. This temperature kills dust mites and effectively removes allergens. If bedding can’t be washed at this hot temperature, place items in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at 130 degrees or above. For children with allergies, do the same with their stuffed animals.

STEP 5: REPLACE AIR FILTERS At the start of every season change the air filter in your furnace.

This helps the HVAC system run efficiently while also filtering out air particles -including allergens - to keep your home’s air as clean as possible. Consider setting an alarm for every three months as a reminder and use filters with a MERV rating of 11 or 12. This is also a good time to clean the drip pans in appliances like the refrigerator.

STEP 6.

CONTROL HUMIDITY Bathrooms, basements and tiled spaces are prone to mold, so spring is a good time to deep clean. A bleach cleaner works well to eliminate mold or make your own by mixing borax and water.

How to achieve a red carpet look in your outdoor space (BPT) — Every glam-inspired yard needs a pop of showstopping color that is eye-catching and brings style to the space. This summer, those looking to brighten their shady outdoor spaces can turn to Beacon Impatiens to dress their garden beds and containers with boldly colored flowers that thrive all season long.

Gardeners can plant Beacon Impatiens to their heart’s content without the frustration, or fear, of Impatiens downy mildew, a destructive disease that has plagued impatiens, causing plant loss and devastation to shade gardens across the globe. This new plant from PanAmerican Seed

offers high resistance to Impatiens downy mildew, ensuring a long-lasting, healthy garden this summer.

Here’s a look at how you can style your outdoor space in the shade this season with new Beacon Impatiens.

Go bold with colorOn music’s biggest night, acclaimed botanical artist Tu Bloom Designs selected Beacon Impatiens to bring vivid color to this year’s red carpet. As the music industry’s elite made their grand entrance and strutted for the cameras, they were surrounded by Tu Bloom’s 22 topiaries of Beacon White Impatiens atop a lavish carpet of Beacon Red Impatiens.

Next, help prevent mold from developing through moisture control. Always run bathroom fans when bathing or showering, clean up any standing water immediately and use a dehumidifier if needed to keep humidity below 60 percent.

“Spring cleaning is a great step in allergy control,” says Meadows.

“However, if you continue to suffer from allergy or asthma symptoms, see a board-certified allergist to help you control your symptoms and live the life you want. You can find an allergist near you at acaai.org/locate-an-allergist.”

Spring into 2020 home design trends (BPT) — The year is already off to a stylish start, but there are plenty more trends that will be coming into focus in the coming months.

Designers around the country are exploring a dynamic mix of patterns and unexpected colors, plus creative new approaches to flooring, accents and lighting.

Here are the go-to trends making a splash in design studios and homes this spring.

FLORALS ARE BLOSSOMING Just in time for spring, floral designs are bringing walls and furnishings to life. Floral wallpaper is coming back in a big way, turning rooms into virtual gardens. But not to worry — the latest designs are not your grandmother’s wallpaper. Intriguing, modern and sophisticated floral designs in vibrant color choices are available to suit any taste.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN Another great trend for spring combines people’s passions for naturally occurring aesthetics and nature, often brought to life through indoor gardens, small trees or “living walls.”

These design statements allow plants and other aspects of nature to become a visual focus in any home.

It is also inspired by natural materials like wood and stone, earth tones and natural colors, and organic shapes.

These elements are showcased throughout the home, including in wooden architectural beams, stone-based accent pieces and nat-

urally colored accent walls. Yesterday’s linear furniture designs are being replaced by softer, curvier shapes that mimic forms in nature.

NATURALISTIC FLOORING Designers and homeowners alike are making a statement in flooring that combines intriguing design with a natural flair, such as geometrically patterned flooring created from naturally beautiful hardwood.

“Patterned flooring is beginning to dominate today’s interior designs,” says Katie Allen, design and trend director at Lumber Liquidators Flooring.

“It can be used in a wide variety of spaces to add texture and character to any room.”

For example, it is easier than ever to create a warm, visually exciting look in almost any home with a chevron pattern using Bellawood Engineered Hardwood Flooring from Lumber Liquidators.

Each patterned plank is arranged in a custom zigzag pattern, meaning homeowners won’t be wasting time installing individually angled boards.

The handcrafted distressing of the wood also reveals the natural grain and rich brown hues, appealing to homeowners wanting a natural look.

COLOR YOUR WORLD Along with the emphasis on naturebased color palettes comes a shift away from the neutral tones that have become popular

over the last couple of years. Jewel tones like deep blues, a variety of green hues and even subtle pinks are seeing a comeback for walls, rugs, cabinets and furnishings.

Designers are often choosing strongly contrasting colors to make visually bold statements, like pink against blue, rich blue against a lighter green or any color paired with black or white.

MIX AND MATCH Unusual juxtaposi-

tions of color are being matched by contrasting textures and materials.

Architects and designers are getting creative with the interplay of materials such as marbles against woods, plus geometric patterns created by tiles used for accent walls or as a backsplash.

Fiber art - like handcrafted rugs, throw pillows, blankets and wall hangings - is popular again, and will help make any room pop.

Rattan and cane furniture also provide simi-

lar variety in terms of texture, color and pattern.

BRIGHTEN IT UP Lighting is no longer just a way to illuminate your space, but a bold detail to add visual excitement to any room.

Champagne gold lighting fixtures are one fun trend that really stands out, seen in every room from living and dining rooms to kitchens and baths.

Some of this spring’s overall trends can easily be brought to life

through lighting choices, from wicker or caned pendant lamps to rounder, more organically shaped lighting fixtures.

Let your own personality and design sensibility shine through when decorating your living spaces, using these trends as inspiration.

V D R 3 projects that instantly transform a bathroom (BPT) — Updating the bathroom with the latest trends is something many homeowners desire, but the thought of a complete remodel can be overwhelming.

Fortunately, there are many easy and accessible upgrades that you can make that will transform your bathroom and add value to your home.

Consider these three easy bathroom projects that reflect today’s hottest trends while adhering to any style home: UPDATE AN EXISTING VANITY If you have a dated vanity that has good bones, there’s no need to replace it. You can take charge with some DIY elbow grease and update it instead. For example, if you have a honey oak vanity that you want to update to a more current style, start by removing all hardware and cover to protect floors and vanity top. Then sand the surface and paint with primer so it’s ready for your choice of color and finishes.

Next, paint the entire vanity in the color of your choice. Gray vanities are currently popular and will project a contemporary feeling while white is timeless and conveys cleanliness. Another trend is to feature color on the bathroom vanity, such as blue or green, which adds visual interest to the space. Depending on your preference you might finish with a gloss for a modern look or distress the edges for a farmhouse style.

Complete the upgrade with new hardware and you’ll have an entirely new look in your bathroom.

ADD SUBWAY TILE BATH SURROUNDS Custom tile bath projects are complex and costly, but the new Traverse bath and shower solution from Sterling Plumbing makes it simple to update your space with style and functionality.

Additionally, Sterling’s patented Dry-Block seal and water containment channels form watertight seams for a caulkfree installation. Learn more at www.sterlingplumbing.com.

UPGRADE FLOORING FOR CUSTOM STYLE It’s simple to put a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling so when you look up, your bathroom appears clean and updated. But what about when you look down? If the floors have seen better days, it’s time to replace them.

You may long for marble tile or exotic wood floors, but these projects are expensive and can be time-consuming.

Luckily, there are many affordable modern vinyl options that are humidity safe, slip resistant

and durable, making them ideal for use in the bathroom.

Today’s vinyl has come a long way from the cheap-looking sheets from decades ago. With a little research you can discover modern vinyl options made to look like myriad materials including mosaic tile, natural stone, wood planks and more. Often you can use the existing floor as the sub-floor, so there’s no need to remove it.

Always research the manufacturer’s recom-

mendations, but typically modern vinyl flooring is easy to install with features that snap together and are simple to cut to size.

Today’s top bathroom trends are easily within reach when you research projects and products that help streamline your efforts.

Whether you choose to do one of these projects or all three, you’ll be amazed how these changes can impact the overall appearance of the bathroom.

Outdoor cleaning tips that could help you save thousands (BPT) — The sounds of birds chirping, longer daylight hours, and budding trees and flowers are early signs that warmer weather and spring are on the way.

That means more time outside to enjoy nature, but it’s also a sign it might be time for a little spring cleaning.

“Cold temperatures, snowfall and winter rains can have a big effect on houses and landscaping, so now’s the time to check for potential home repairs and maintenance,” said Christopher O’Rourke, Mercury Insurance vice president of property claims. “Spring cleaning isn’t just about getting rid of belongings you no longer want or need — it’s also a time to get your home in tiptop shape so you can enjoy it throughout the rest of the year.”

Here are four tips O’Rourke recommends to welcome the new season and save some money down the road.

1. CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS Gutters collect debris over time, especially when rain, snow and wind causes twigs, pine needles and leaves to settle on your roof and in your rain gutters.

Accumulated debris can create blockages that direct water into the home or, in areas without much precipitation, can act as kindling in the event of a fire. Buildup also allows mildew and mold to develop, which can slowly decay a home’s exterior and roof.

“Preventable damage like mold or mildew that develops and rots a home’s exterior isn’t covered by homeowners insurance,” said O’Rourke. “It’s important to routinely clean out gutters — even if you have gutter guards installed, they don’t completely protect against debris building up eventually. An hour or two spent cleaning or checking your gutters is time well spent compared to the alternative.”

2. TRIM BRANCHES AND REMOVE DANGEROUS TREES Thunderstorm frequency picks up in summer months, and high winds can occur year round, so it’s best to get a jump on tree maintenance in early spring.

Regularly trimming tree branches reduces their chance of breaking during a storm, which could cause power outages or prop-

erty damage.

“Properly trimmed branches present a lower risk of falling onto your home, power lines or possibly injuring someone on your property,” said O’Rourke. “Also, in areas that are prone to wildfires, trimmed trees create a buffer zone to help lower the chances of flames easily jumping onto your roof.”

Consider having the trees on your property inspected by an arborist to determine their health and have diseased trees removed before they topple over unexpectedly. Removal costs vary depending on height and difficulty, but range from $100 to around $1,800. These preventative costs are not covered by your homeowners policy, but can be a wise investment that saves you time, money and anxiety.

3. WATCH OUT FOR SERVICE LINES Homeowners who want to plant gardens, trees or install additional landscape features to enhance their outdoor living space should be aware of potential underground utility lines. Most service lines

592 State Route 650 Ironton, Ohio 45638 740-533-3032 www.ArricksPropane.com

— a network of exterior, underground utility lines or pipes that supply a home with electricity, gas, water and sewer functions - are only buried a few inches beneath the ground.

Accidentally hitting one when digging can result in loss of service, expensive repairs or a serious injury.

If a break to a service line happens on a homeowner’s property, special machinery may be needed to excavate pipes from beneath the ground, which may require digging under your home, garden or driveway. The homeowner is responsible for repair or replacement costs, and this damage can be inconvenient, expensive and isn’t covered by a standard homeowners insurance policy.

“The average cost to repair a break to a service line is about $5,000 and most Americans wouldn’t welcome such a large surprise bill,” said O’Rourke.

“Homeowners should definitely consider pur-

chasing an endorsement to their insurance policy to protect against losses of this nature.

Mercury offers this coverage as an addition to our home insurance policy and it costs as little as $8 a year, depending on the home’s age.”

To be safe, homeowners should call 811 before digging so the utility companies can send a locator to mark the approximate locations of underground service lines.

4. SERVICE YOUR AIR CONDITIONING UNIT Regular maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is essential to ensure the equipment is in proper working order, which can save money on energy bills, as well as protect against expensive repair and replacement costs.

“No one wants to unexpectedly find themselves living in a sauna during the dog days of summer, so the start of spring is a great time to have your air condi-

tioner inspected,” said O’Rourke. “You should also change your air filter to make sure it’s operating at its highest efficiency, so when that heat wave hits you’ll be nice and cool inside your home.”

Have a professional inspect your HVAC unit to make sure its exteri-

or condenser coil and compressor are clean and free from blockages — the average cost for an inspection is about $300.

Your home will bring you security and joy for many years to come. Taking the time to maintain it is well worth the investment.

Flowers that stand the test of time (BPT) — Like classic pieces in your closet that can be worn season after season, some flowers have become staples for decorators and gardeners alike.

Available in a variety of bold colors, Wave Petunias and Cool Wave Pansies are a low-maintenance must-have for creating high-impact design in outdoor spaces.

Like your little black dress or your favorite pair of jeans, these versatile flowers can be styled in fresh ways to create an on-trend look

that fits your space and lifestyle.

BRING COLOR TO LIFE Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Wave proves why it has such staying power. In 1995, the striking Wave Purple Classic became the very first Wave Petunia variety — and its bold, fun color remains a top choice for adding wow-factor to hanging baskets, window boxes and gardens.

As a nod to tradition, style your patio or balcony with Tidal Wave Silver petunias this

year. Their luxe silvery-white blooms add a touch of glamour, similar to the timeless silver chain in your jewelry box. This award-winning flower grows mountains of color to create a showstopping look in gardens or large planters.

In early spring, have fun with the wide array of colors available in pansies to kick off the season — their rich palette adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor space, in the same way that your favorite high-end scarf enhanc-

es your outfit. Cool WavePansies are easy to care for and they encourage your family and friends to enjoy the outdoors.

BEYOND THE GARDEN The best thing about petunias and pansies is that they can be styled in a variety of ways — just like that classic white T-shirt you can’t do without. Beyond enjoying them in your garden, you can also use these flowers for all kinds of fun DIY craft projects to add a special touch to handmade

gifts, culinary creations and more.

Enjoy your blooms forever and capture a precious moment in time by pressing petunia or pansy blossoms.

Once dried, you can use them to create festive, one-of-a-kind greeting cards, picture frames, bookmarks or phone cases. Press some of their leaves as well, to add a color contrast to the petals.

For a beautiful yet edible garnish, use pansies to add vivid pops of color to your favorite foods — from fresh

salads to decadent desserts. Dress up drinks by freezing pansy blossoms into ice cubes, or simply top off a beverage with a single freshly cut bloom.

Like your wardrobe favorites, Wave Petunias and Cool Wave Pansies can be personally styled in modern ways each gardening season to keep up with the latest trends. Check out WaveGardening. com for more ways to brighten up your garden or deck this year, including DIY projects, tips and inspiration.

Bringing the indoors out (BPT) — 2020 outdoor living trends are all about enjoying your backyard alfresco - but with the comfort and ease you expect from your indoor spaces.

Today’s outdoor spaces are transforming into an extension of the home. The current outdoor design also takes into account the look and feel of your entire home, including the interior and exterior, building materials and surroundings.

CONNECTING WITH NATURE: BIOPHILIC DESIGN Biophilic design is achieved when natural elements are incorporated into the space, helping people feel connected to the natural environment.

It creates a calm, tranquil space and reduces stress.

Biophilia makes sense for indoor urban environments needing to bring the outdoors in, but how does it work when you’re already outside?

Biophilic design for outdoor spaces means integrating natural elements with constructed elements to cre-

ate a harmonious space. A plant wall or raised garden bed can integrate greenery and pops of color with the built elements of your outdoor space. It also means using natural materials, like wood and stone, to complement the surrounding environment.

Create greener, more sustainable spaces to celebrate the environment, which can help encourage pollinators, grow healthy food and forge a cohesive outdoor space. You can also use materials such as Belgard’s permeable pavers, which allow water to drain through the surface, replenishing the soil and aquifers beneath your path, walkway or driveway.

MORE THAN JUST A GRILL Today’s homeowners want much more than a grill in the backyard. With aspirations to cook and entertain guests outdoors with everything the best outdoor kitchen can offer, the possibilities are endless — from grills to cooktops and ovens or even

a wine cooler and an outdoor bar.

Homeowners also have many options when it comes to the design and price point of their outdoor kitchen.

Some may lean toward a grill island, adding prep and storage space to their grilling station, while others might create a full-on outdoor kitchen with a grill, smoker, refrigerator, sink, seating area and more.

Either way, homeowners can get a feel for exactly what their space will look like before breaking ground through Belgard’s design resources. The Belgard Design Studio takes a simple sketch, some dimensions and a couple of photos and turns it, using design software, into 3D animations and virtual reality experiences to give homeowners a sense of the finished product in their backyard.

SLEEK, MODERN DESIGN While it may seem contrary to the more organic approach of biophilic design, the contemporary trend toward

sleek, modular furniture can enhance your outdoor space.

Modular, sectional pieces with clean lines and streamlined design can be arranged and re-arranged to accommodate any natural elements you want to incorporate in your space, or to handle different numbers of guests when entertaining.

The minimalist approach to furnishings also allows the natural elements around you to take center stage.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACES Whether your home is in an urban area with limited green space, or you want to optimize your outdoor living, get creative: • Add vertical planters • Hang hammocks for lounging • Create built-in seating • Build raised garden beds Here’s where some of that modular seating can come in handy, too. Some urban homes make good use of their front porches and yards, instead, which invites more neighborhood engagement

and a feeling of community.

ENTERTAINING BOTH NIGHT AND DAY Regardless of the time of day — or year — you and your family can relax comfortably in your outdoor sanctuary, thanks to modern technology and the latest outdoor installations: • LED lighting is installed in a variety of ways. You can install strips of light and/or spotlights, even using multiple colors, to add flair at night.

• In the harsh sunlight, large umbrellas and movable shade walls or screens can keep your space cool and more comfortable.

• For cooler climates, an outdoor fireplace provides heat and light for cozy evenings in the yard.

Whether you have a straightforward vision for a patio or dream of elaborate outdoor living spaces, these ideas can help you create your oasis. For more information on how you can upgrade your outdoor space, visit Belgard.com.

5 reasons hardscapes are a landscape’s best friend (BPT) — Hardscaping products, including segmental retaining wall units (SRWs) and interlocking concrete pavers, are a landscape’s best friend. Landscape professionals know that hardscapes are the backbone of a great design. Homeowners, too, shouldn’t be afraid to explore do-it-yourself landscape features using hardscape materials.

According to the National Association of Landscape Professionals, hardscaping trends for 2020 include geometric patterned designs as well as materials with sleek, modern lines. Luckily, design options abound as hardscapes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, textures and colors that work well with other materials such as natural stone or crushed rock mulch.

Hardscapes are popular because they outlast materials such as timbers for retaining walls or asphalt for driveway surfaces, says Scott Arnold, general manager of Villa Landscapes in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“Hardscape surfaces are durable and low maintenance,” Arnold says. “For example, when a client wants to replace a wood deck, we suggest a raised paving stone patio created with retaining wall units and pavers as a solution. In addition to traditional uses, such as fixing grade problems and preventing erosion, retaining wall systems also can be used to build outdoor features such as fireplaces and raised planters. Or they can be employed to solve unique landscaping problems.”

1. MAKING THE GRADE Villa Landscapes used the VERSA-LOK retaining wall system to solve an unusual problem for a homeowner who had a historic home on “Cream of Wheat Row” in Minneapolis, an avenue with stately homes built by wheat company executives at the turn of the 19th century. The home had a driveway designed for horse-andbuggy with an embedded limestone step for disembarking passengers. No cars could go around it, so Villa elevated the driveway with a retaining wall system

connected outdoor living spaces.

By varying the pattern, color and texture, a design can define areas for grilling, dining and relaxing. In addition, retaining wall systems can be used to create columns, freestanding walls, raised planters and other features that give outdoor rooms definition and functionality.

so a new paving stone driveway would be level with the existing step.

2. PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS Made of colors and textures that mimic and complement natural stone, hardscaping products work well with other materials, like crushed stone, flagstone steppers and natural boulders. A Wisconsin homeowner needed retaining walls for slopes and a paving stone patio as well as natural steps and boulders in the surrounding garden. Using retaining wall units, paving stones and natural

stone, Villa’s design incorporated elements of both harmony and contrast in shapes, textures and colors.

4. COMPLEMENT ANY DESIGN A variety of shapes, colors and textures make hardscapes the perfect complement to any architectural design, from an oldworld look to minimalist style. Several homes in a residential development in Edina, Minnesota, followed suit when one homeowner selected the new VERSA-LOK CleanCut(TM) retaining wall texture for its clean, contemporary feel to match the modern architectural design of the home.

rings, bar/grill islands, raised planters and more can be built easily with retaining wall units. The VERSA-LOK retaining wall system can be used for features such as columns, curves, stairs and corners without the need for special pieces.

The versatility of hardscaping products and materials makes them ideal for a variety

of landscaping applications. Hardscaping products, such as segmental retaining walls and concrete pavers, let homeowners shape their yards, while adding color and increasing usable space.

Hardscaping materials, such as rock and stone mulch, add the finishing touches that dress up a yard and make it look complete.
