Cleaning your grill is just one of the great tips that Mr. Clean, Bounty and The Home Depot are giving to help get ready for summer entertaining. According to a recent Procter & Gamble (P&G) survey, only 25 percent of consumers clean their grills and only 20 percent of consumers clean their outdoor furniture. Yet keeping them cleaned can help them last longer. So, here are a few tips for getting your outdoor area ready for entertaining:
Maintain Your Outdoor Furniture – Keep it looking good all summer
Inspect your Deck – Give it good once over - check for loose nails, bricks, cracked concrete
Remove the Clutter – Clean up, power wash, remove unnecessary items/debris.
Accessorize – Add in the little touches (i.e., plants, outdoor lighting, lanterns, centerpiece)
Clean your Grill – Give your grill a clean start this season.
How do you get your back yard, porch or outdoor space ready for the summer? Whether all you need to do is give the place a quick sweep, or whether you have to scrub down the lawn furniture, don't forget that you can get everything you need to get ready at The Home Depot, including Mr. Clean Outdoor Spray, Mr. Clean Outdoor Pro Magic Eraser and Bounty!

Ugh! I HATE this job! Actually, it takes a few weeks to fully get things ready for summer. We have to rake leaves from the mulch and flower beds, clear the rain gutters, clean up sticks and debris that has fallen over the winter months, pull out the patio furniture, clean it all, spray down the deck, apply water treatment to it, sweep, sweep, sweep, hang the bird feeders and plants, prepare the flower beds and plant new flowers, clean out the garage....Can we just leave it at that?! I'm exhausted just remembering it all!
