Fall Home Improvement Fix-Ups Made Easy

Prepare for winter with home improvement products that offer style, sparkle and organization

Falling leaves mark the speedy approach of the indoor season and the dwindling opportunity to tackle pre-winter home improvements. After spending a long summer enjoying the outdoors and ignoring some of the indoor home improvement chores, fall is the prime time for projects that’ll add comfort and convenience during the months to come.

Here are several solutions for successful fall fix-ups.

A sparkling clean for kitchens and baths

A summer’s worth of dusty, grimy buildup and other stubborn cleaning challenges can be wiped away with CLR cleaning products. The powerful, EPA-approved formula behind CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover [1] blasts through calcium, lime and rust on a range of surfaces without rubbing or scrubbing, and is free of phosphates, ammonia and bleach. You can use CLR to bring a sparkling clean to everything from tubs and showerheads to dishwashers and coffee pots. And if you’re facing stubborn grout stains, CLR Bathroom and Kitchen Cleaner [2] whitens tile grout fast. CLR products are available at better hardware stores and home centers.

The one-step way to paint and prime
Paint is a favorite low-cost, low-hassle means of transforming a room, and the process becomes even more streamlined with Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior Paint [3]. It’s paint and primer all in one, and covers existing or uncoated surfaces without the need for multiple products. A boutique, hand-selected palette of 386 Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior colors provides possibilities for every taste, and the line also utilizes NanoGuard® technology to create a denser, more durable paint film that resists moisture, stains and dirt. Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior paint is available exclusively at The Home Depot [4].

Sleek, modern style with luxurious efficiency

Another great way to restyle your home this fall is with fixtures from Moen’s new 90 Degree Collection [5]. Each piece features sleek, minimalist design with geometric, 90-degree-angled lines, all engineered with Moen’s most sophisticated technology. The 90 Degree Collection includes single-hole, single-mount kitchen faucets in standard and pull-out styles, bath faucets with unique waterfall presentation and WaterSense certification, shower suites and valves, and coordinating bath accessories. Visit www.moen.com [6] for more information on 90 Degree and other kitchen and bath styles.

Year-round storage for seasonal gear
Give your summer lawn and garden gear a secure, convenient new home with an outdoor storage shed from Lifetime Products for those fall and winter months. Lifetime storage sheds stand up to weather extremes with durable steel-reinforced plastic construction, and the lockable doors protect your belongings from intruders and keep sharp tools out of children’s reach. You can also improve your shed's organization with coordinating expansion kits. To shop a variety of Lifetime storage shed sizes and styles, visit www.Lifetime.com [7].

Dress the garage for winter

Fall is also the ideal time to organize your garage into a wintertime haven for projects, winter sports gear and your car. Gladiator® GarageWorks offers a range of garage storage solutions with innovative pieces like wall components, cabinets and appliances, all with a contemporary, coordinated look. If you’ve got a bounty of garden vegetables to freeze or a string of holiday events on your calendar, the Freezerator® convertible refrigerator/freezer [8] is a must-have. The Freezerator® convertible refrigerator/freezer [8] provides busy families who buy in bulk with extra space to chill or freeze surplus food and beverages.
