Springtime is fast approaching, so now is the best time to tackle those complex spring cleaning projects. You don’t want to wait until the weather is warm enough and the sun consistently shines – that’s when you want to be outside soaking in that vitamin D!
By thoroughly checking, deep cleaning, and fixing a few key issues, you can have everything done in a timely, calm manner. Don’t leave a problem with your furnace until next year, and don’t wait to start your spring clean. Instead, follow this guide so that when spring comes knocking, all you need to do is head on out!
Your Drains
Though 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services are available, you shouldn’t wait until disaster strikes. Keep an eye on your plumbing, walls, and ceiling. If there are any issues with slow draining, get a snake and try to manually remove the blockage first. If you cannot, and a chemical drain cleaner isn’t enough, bring out the big guns, i.e., the professionals.
Your Plumbing
If you have a dripping tap, your water bill has strangely gone up, or you are starting to see mold and other signs of water damage, you need to bring in a professional to inspect, fix, and clean up the problem. If you wait or assume that you can handle it on your own, you run the risk of long-term, massive water damage that will require a huge – and costly – fix.
Your Water Heater
Your water boiler needs to be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to ensure it is in good working order and that there are no blockages or problems.
Your Furnace and Air Conditioner
Your furnace can put your home in danger if there is too much dust and debris. Check and regularly clean out the filtration vents. When cleaning, turn off the furnace or air conditioner from its energy source. If you are not confident doing this yourself, call a professional service such as Air Dreamy to do the deep cleaning for you.
Your Air Ventilation System
If you have vents in your home, you must invest in professional cleaning services. If you don’t, dirt and dust will collect in your ducts and blow into your home. This step is vital, especially if you or a family member has allergies or asthma, as it will keep the air healthier.
Your Appliances
Appliances don’t magically get better. They are designed to fail over time. In some cases, it is inevitable, as some companies will make parts that are not replaceable and are specifically made out of plastic so that they wear down over time. Higher quality companies will allow for repairs, but if there is no hope for your large appliance, it is time to invest in a better quality one and commit to regular cleaning and maintenance.
Your home deserves to be clean, beautiful, and functional. Just remember to go beyond the traditional cleaning and work to maintain the system of your home.
