Seasonal themes

Autumn weather did not take long to arrive this year, and cold spells, rains, and bitter winds came at the very beginning of September. If herbs have really taken off in your garden or on your terrace over the summer, you may already be thinking about the best way to prepare them for winter and protect from frost and sleet until the spring.

With the arrival of spring, it is time to open the windows, let more light into your home and give it a new, fresh start. Washing and cleaning windows is a regular spring ritual for many households. However, other elements around the windows – blinds, roller shutters or awnings – are often forgotten.

With first warm days, the terrace once again becomes the natural centre of the house - a place for morning coffee, evening sitting and weekend relaxation. However, for the pergola and terrace to work with no problems throughout the season, quick cleaning is not enough. Caring for your outdoor space has its own cycle. It starts before winter and continues systematically in spring with inspections and preparation for the forthcoming season.

Spring is in full swing. If you haven’t gotten around to your spring cleaning yet, now is the perfect time: your entire apartment or house needs a thorough clean. Where should you start, what shouldn’t you forget, and how should you proceed with a deep spring clean?
