CLM Cleaning Service Winter Prep Guide ❄️🧼
As heating season kicks in and the snow starts flying, here are a few smart habits to build into your winter calendar — for safety, convenience, and cleaner floors:
🔋 Battery Check: Make It a Fall Ritual
- Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Replace batteries every fall before heating season begins.
- Key Fobs: Swap them out yearly — same time as your smoke detector batteries.
- Vehicle Batteries: Cold weather stresses older batteries. Get them tested for free at:
- O’Reilly Auto Parts – 611 8th Ave, Monroe
- AutoZone – 604 8th Ave, Monroe
🧂 Salt vs. Floors: Protect Your Investment
- Salt Damage: De-icing salts scratch hard floors, stain carpets, and break down finishes.
- Entry Mats: Heavy-duty mats trap grit before it spreads. Available at Monroe Walmart, Farm & Fleet, or local hardware stores.
- De-Icing Agents: Choose pet-safe, low-corrosion blends like magnesium chloride or calcium magnesium acetate. Available at Farm & Fleet, Ace Hardware, and Monroe Walmart (seasonal aisle).
- Cleaning Tip: Regular mopping or vacuuming near entryways prevents salt buildup. If you’re seeing dull patches or crusty residue, we’re happy to help with a seasonal refresh.
