A thorough spring
cleaning can mean so much more to you than
simply the good feeling that comes with
maintaining the appearance of your home. If
done properly, spring cleaning can also
dramatically improve the safety of your home
and family in the event of a fire.
One of the most important ways that cleaning
around the house can improve safety is if
you spend the time to reduce the clutter
inside and around your home and garage.
While clutter does not start fires, it can
become the fuel for a fire. More fuel makes
fires more difficult for the Fire Department
to extinguish. Clutter may also make it more
difficult for those in your home to escape
when a fire breaks out.
Another important step in the spring
cleaning process is to reduce or eliminate
hazardous chemicals in your home. Cleaners,
paint and other common household chemicals
can fuel a fire and are often hazardous to
your health. Maintain only the amounts you
need and be sure to use, store and dispose
of household hazardous materials in a safe
manner as outlined on the product. Never mix
chemicals, even when disposing of them.
