With the change of each season comes a new set of maintenance tasks for your home! Its important to keep our homes in tip top shape for the summer months! Below are a few maintenance ideas to keep your home healthy and cool this summer!
- Air Conditioner Inspection - Replace or clean air filters for optimum air conditioning performance. Consider having a professional service inspect and make sure that your unit is in good working condition.
- Ceiling Fan Cleaning - Using a damp rag, clean the top of the blades of your ceiling fans before they begin the work of cooling off your rooms this summer.
- Window Washing - Make sure that your windows are crystal clear so that you may look out and enjoy those beautiful summer sunsets!
- Check Detectors - Check carbon monoxide and smoke detectors for full function.
- Mulch - a layer of mulch will keep the weeds from taking over as well as keeping your ground retain moisture.
- Check for Leaks - Check hoses and exterior faucets for any leaks.
- Plan a Watering Schedule - Plan ahead for your plants! Water deeply only a couple of times a week to encourage deeper root growth.
- Welcome Mats - Place a heavy duty mat outside and then a softer cloth mat inside. You'll trap more dirt from coming into your home!
Making sure your home is maintained is an important part of our seasonal activities! Please enjoy your summer in your healthy home!
