Nothing says “I love you!” like a bit of home maintenance, am I right? If a little pre-spring cleaning is your jam like it is mine, now is the perfect time to get a head start!
To help, here’s a February home maintenance checklist sure to get your juices flowin’:
-Freshen indoor paint on walls, cabinets, doors, and trim.
-Clean and reorganize your laundry room, so it’s clutter-free and more efficient.
-Clean the air duct that connects the back of your dryer to the outside vents.
-Clean the refrigerator condenser coils at the back or on the bottom of the appliance.
-Clean the range hood filter and fan.
-Clean and degrease kitchen cabinets.
-Clean garbage disposal by running it with crushed ice to sharpen, then with baking soda and citrus peels.
-Vacuum the box springs and the mattress top and bottom. Rotate or flip the mattress.
-Check caulking and grout around sinks, showers, and tubs
I-nspect the roof (with a friend’s help holding the ladder) for missing shingles and damaged vent boots.
-Check the foundation for cracks that can cause significant issues when spring rains arrive.
-Test carbon monoxide and smoke detectors; replace batteries as needed.
Keeping your home looking beautiful is a year-round endeavor! Curious about the improvements that add the most value in your neighborhood? Send me a message. I’d love to share what I’m seeing in your neck of the woods as we head into spring.
