Tips for maintaining your new home
1.
Clean your home
regularly
A dirty house does not only make
your house unattractive, but it can also damage the furniture, the wall, and
the floor of your house. Dirty sinks and toilets could as well cause blockages
that in return can lead to destroying them. So, ensure you clean your home at least
daily.
2.
Inspect the exterior of
your house annually
Check all around your apartment’s
external side, including the windows and the doors. Look whether the paint is
chipping out to repaint. Also if you notice any broken or cracked window or
door, you should repair them. Don’t forget to inspect the roofing as well, and make
the necessary repair if needed. Some of these repairs you can do them yourself,
provided you have the tools that are required such as the most accurate EDM machines,
fasteners, and seals among others. Clean the gutters too to avoid clogging.
3.
Maintain your garden
Your lawn is also part of your
home, and so it needs proper maintenances as well. Trim down the trees if
necessary to keep them neat and have a clean environment. Tall plants could
also interfere with the electrical wire causing a hazard. So, ensure they're
well short in both your neighborhood and in your compound.
4.
Check your fire
extinguishers
Safeguard your family and your
house from fire by installing many fire extinguishers in your home. However,
having them around and ensuring they’re all functional are two different
things. Check them at least twice in a year to make sure that they're
operational and also make sure all people in the house know how to use them.
5.
Check all the faucets
Ensuring you're your kitchen and
bathroom faucets are in good condition will save you money. If you notice a
loose drain, fasten it before it gets damaged. Replace the worn out taps before
they become useless and start causing leakage.
6.
Other routine check-ups
Other home maintenances includes;
flushing the guest rooms toilets, once in a while to prevent grim, cleaning
your garage and inspecting its doors, cleaning the pavement, chimney,
reinspecting your electronics too.
A well-maintained house will always
look smart and beautiful to stay. A poorly maintained home will not only cost
you more money during repair, but it's also hazardous to your health. Let
everyone in the apartment work together as a team to ensure they keep it well.
Teach your kids on how they should be responsible as well and keep all rooms
tidy.
