It’s Time for Spring Cleaning the Barn!

Spring Cleaning is an essential part to your yearly barn routine. During your cleaning you can check over the barn to determine everything is in tip-top shape and working order. To make sure you haven’t forgotten anything, make a list and work your way from the top to the bottom. A good cleaning will help ensure harsh winter weather conditions did not damage or affect the barn. Below are some cleaning ideas not to forget.

Organize Tack and Feed Rooms – Spring is a great time to organize and look over what you have. While you are organizing, check to make sure barn essentials are not broken, rusted or damaged. During the winter items like feed buckets, water troughs, and other tack items may have become cracked or rusted due to wet, cold conditions.

Cleaning Cobwebs – During winter bugs and vermin try and find a warm place away from the cold. Cleaning out old cobwebs from the barn, stalls and hay lofts will help clear out these pests. Don’t forget the ceiling and box fans! Cleaning fans will help them operate more smoothly and ventilate better during the warmer months ahead.

Cleaning and Packing Winter Blankets – Now is the time to launder all of the winter blankets and pack them away until next fall. While laundering, check over each blanket, sheet or hood to determine if there is any wear and tear, and purchase replacements. Store your clean blankets in a tote, bag or original packaging until you need them again.

Clean Hay Loft – Before you bring in the fresh hay for spring, clean out all of the winter flakes. Excess of dust and hay could be a potential fire hazard. It is also a good idea to sweep and scrub down the loft to ensure all of the dust and debris is clear.

Scrub it Down – Give the barn a good scrub down. Clean out stalls, walk ways, doors and windows. Now is the time to remove the dust and grim off. A lot of dust and grim may have built up during the winter months the barn was closed up causing breathing problems for animals and humans.
