Preparing for Passover
Passover is a time that Jewish people dedicate energy and activities to cleaning homes from top to bottom and especially removing all traces of leaven from the home. Preparing for the Passover usually starts a full month before the holiday.
It starts with removing Chametz or any leaven products, which means cleansing from top to bottom for all crumbs and potential traces of leaven. This may include cleaning under furniture, cushions, beds, and more. Additionally, it involves purifying the kitchen or koshering the stove, refrigerator, counters, and so on.

3 Spring Planning Tips From Tashman Home Center

Los Angeles County is expected to get a healthy dose of rain throughout the spring. This makes now the ideal time to get up on the roof and clear your gutters out of any sticks, leaves, ash, and other gunk that might be stuck in there.

We recommend cleaning air filters monthly during these conditions and replacing them as necessary. You may also want to consider purchasing a HEPA air purifier to further clear your air, particularly useful if you rarely turn on your larger HVAC equipment.
