New Year's Resolutions - Home Maintenance Ideas

Happy New Year! The start of a new calendar year is an opportunity to branch out and try new things. It's also an opportunity to make New Year's Resolutions - personal promises about how you will improve yourself in the coming year. 

Of course, you aren't the only one who deserves dedicated attention in the new year. Your home does, too! As one of the top home maintenance experts in the Dallas suburbs, Best PowerWash Dallas is here with some great home maintenance New Year's Resolutions ideas.


During Peak Heating And Cooling Months, Change Your Air Filters Monthly. 
That is, change your filters every month during summer and winter. During spring and fall, change your filters every other month. Keeping your filters clean will help improve the quality of the air inside your home.

Reduce Water Intake.
Most homes use much, much more water than the homeowners actually need. There are tools out there to help you lower your monthly water use without noticing any setbacks. For example, consider installing a "low-flow showerhead" - a showerhead that uses less water while still maintaining water pressure. 

Put Away $500 Per Month To Go Towards Home Repairs.
Home repairs often come up unexpectedly and can be extremely expensive. Putting aside money every month allows you to establish a "home repair fund" that will make paying for your repairs much easier when the time comes.

Deep-Clean Your Floors Every Month
You may sweep your floors frequently, but sweeping doesn't get all the stubborn particles out of the cracks. Keep your floors sparkling clean by deep-cleaning them monthly.

Test The Batteries In Your Smoke Detector Every 6 Months.
There's nothing more devastating than losing your home to a major disaster. Homes are equipped with smoke detectors to warn the owners in the event of a fire, but they don't do any good if the batteries are dead. Keep your home (and your family) safe by checking the batteries in your smoke detector every six months.

Clean Out Your Garbage Disposal Every Month.
While it comes as no surprise that kitchen garbage disposals can get pretty nasty, most homeowners don't always think to clean them out. You degrease and clean them in a few different ways. You can try flushing it out with hot water and baking soda, or you can freeze vinegar into ice cubes and grind them up in your disposal.

Your home is your castle - it's important to treat it as such! We hope you'll consider adopting some of the home maintenance tips. Let us know what other ideas you have!
