3 Home Improvement Tips from HGTV’s Scott McGillivray

HGTV’s Scott McGillivray knows what makes a house a home.

Known for his practical, hands-on advice and commitment to teaching viewers how to maximize the value of their homes, the popular host of home renovation shows like Renovation Resort and Scott’s Vacation House Rules is partnering with Culligan to help homeowners learn why high-quality water is key to a high-quality home.

With countless renovations under his belt, McGillivray understands that some aspects of your home – like your water – are too important to overlook. In a new series of posts across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, McGillivray shares tips on everything from cleaning to entertaining. Take a look at his top recommendations to ensure that your water is enhancing your home instead of harming it.

1. Keep your kitchen in tip-top shape. The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s best to make sure it stays running in peak condition – and hard water can cause countless problems. You may notice stains in your coffee pot, spots on your dishes and cutlery, slow-flowing drains, or too-frequent repairs (or even replacement) of water-using appliances like the dishwasher. These are all common problems that can be traced back to hard water. To make sure your kitchen is looking and performing at its best, Scott shows us the hard water warning signs to watch out for and how to take action if you notice them popping up.

2. Impress your guests. We all want our houseguests to leave with a five-star review. To enhance their visit, Scott shows us how to keep your focus on the details. Soft water gives a thorough clean and softer feel to your sheets and towels, keeps your faucets and shower heads in pristine condition, and brings a spa-like shower experience resulting in silky-feeling water and softer, less irritated skin and hair.

3. Cleaner water, cleaner home. If you’re always scrubbing away at limescale buildup, spotty shower doors, and stained dishes to no avail, your water is likely to blame. Hard water can result in tough-to-clean spots on glass, silverware, and home surfaces – all the while making your cleaning products less effective. Even laundry can be affected, with stiff fabrics and dulled colors. It’s all caused by the surplus of calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water that can build up around your home. A Culligan water softener eliminates these minerals and makes for an easier, longer-lasting clean once and for all.
