Do You Worry about Cleaning the Harmful Grime and Dirt Outdoors?

Often we think spring cleaning is an indoor job. We scrub windows, doors, floors etc. Once I lived beside some great people and she went way beyond the norm. In the spring I would often see her out there scrubbing the brick around the whole house, with a hand scrub brush. Some of us today may use a power washer to clean the outside of the house but what about the play equipment, toys and furniture, etc. does it get cleaned? Does it need to or do you think the next rain will wash it clean? Read on you may change your mind.
(ARA) - One of the most overlooked, yet most needed cleaning chores in your home is probably right in your own back yard - outdoor play equipment. When outdoor play equipment -- activity gyms, swing sets, sandboxes, playhouses, little red wagons and even doghouses come out for the summer, it can be a staging area for bacteria-laden dirt and grime.
When the air turned cool, most backyard equipment was consigned, like the lawnmower, to the back of the garage, an unused corner of the basement or storage shed. Most outdoor playthings need a seasonal cleaning to free them from the mold, mildew and just plain dirt they pick up while not in use. Even when it stays outdoors year 'round, as most swings and pet's shelters do, the surfaces easily become contaminated from dust and residue. Playground equipment, like outdoor furniture, is exposed to weather, windblown dirt and the occasional visiting bird, plus whatever grime has stuck to its surface during storage.
