It is rightly said that things last when you take care of them. This phrase fits correctly for all – homes, families, and relationships.
In terms of house hunting, choosing the most functional and aesthetic home is primary but after that, you have to upkeep it in order to keep it spick-and-span forever. In this blog, we have put together a comprehensive list of home maintenance tips, because we want everyone who secures a home with us to cherish it forever.
Have a look at some points which we think are important to-do’s for a healthy home
Keep your drainage areas clean
Cleaning of drainage areas usually falls under the last few items on the priority list, but if you do take the initiative then who will? Timely clean-ups will ensure that there is not a lot of trash built up or clogs. Your home can stay free from foul odor and insect free.
Even when it comes to bathrooms or wet areas within your home, make sure that all floor drains are clear.
Keep your fan blades dirt free
May it be winter or summer, we tend to use fans quite frequently. Due to their frequent usage, they definitely catch a lot of dirt. Also, because of the height, we sometimes find it difficult to keep them clean.
But when any new person enters a room, their eyes normally catch the dirty spots. Make sure that you frequently clean the fans & openings with the help of stools or ladder.
Make sure to clean the kitchen exhaust fan blades with chemicals to take off the deposited oil stains. You can also get some cleaning liquids or sprays which are safe from online or offline commercial spaces.
Touch up paint
Festivals like Diwali are great as they indirectly push everyone to spruce up their home. This shows how sacred hygiene is in our culture. Let’s face it, fresh paint revives the life of our abode. Touching up the shabby and distressed parts of walls each year can be a great way to keep your home in top-notch condition. Moreover, this will ensure that you do not end up spending a bomb after 5-6 years to get the whole home painted at once. Do not forget the maintenance of doors, windows, grills, etc. Paint not only gives appealing aesthetics but also keeps moisture and wood rot at bay. Water stains can happen for many reasons, from bad plumbing to cracks in the wall, after fixing the main cause of these stains, you need to erase the damage it has done. The best way is to get damp-proof paint done. In your free time, you can also revamp your plants by painting traditional pots.
Keep a check on your window and door seals
Expansion and contraction due to weather change, constant sliding, and a lot of other factors can make the seals of windows and doors weak. Once or twice a year, take the time to inspect them. Small cracks and fissures can lead to an inefficiently safe home, which in turn can welcome dust, insects and sometimes thieves. You can also take professional help once a year to get all knobs, locks, latches and handles of your home for complete security. This will keep your home in good condition forever.
Home maintenance can seem like an avalanche of to-dos at first, but remember, you don’t have to do this all in a day. You can always make a home maintenance calendar, and take the tasks with ease. The key is not waiting until there’s an issue to do something. A little prevention will go a long way when it comes to home maintenance. Additionally, a deep clean in a year of curtains, couches, and mattresses with wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner can increase their life. You can also hire experts from some online portals, they have the right equipment and training to get to all those hard-to-reach places. Remember that even the most impressive interiors can fail if your home is not well maintained from time to time. Choose homes built by developers who will have your back when your home witnesses a technical issue. Make sure you make the right choice at the first step itself.
