Every month brings unique challenges and opportunities for your property. Instead of getting overwhelmed by everything all at once, consider breaking down property maintenance and projects month-by-month.
Here is the month of February's property checklist:
- Flip and Rotate Your Mattress: "Before you put on a fresh set of sheets, take an extra minute to rotate the mattress if you haven’t done so recently. Rotating your mattress every few months will help it wear more evenly and extend its life (and comfort)" (Houzz).
- Replace All Furnace Filters: "The air filter on your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system needs to be replaced every one to three months to keep the air in your home clean and flowing freely. A high-quality air filter is the best choice to remove mold, pollen, and other microscopic particles from the air" (Today's Homeowner).
- Organize Your Bookshelves: " Pull out volumes that you didn’t enjoy or are finished with and sell or donate them, leaving a bit of extra room on each shelf for new titles. And if you get distracted by beloved old books you had forgotten about, just roll with it" (Houzz).
- Degrease Kitchen Appliances: "Even if you use an exhaust fan while cooking, over time kitchen cabinets get coated with a layer of grease from cooking. Then, the dust gets caught in the grease, resulting in a layer of good old-fashioned grime" (Today's Homeowner).
- Make Little Changes to Enhance Warmth: "Stay toasty and save on energy bills by blocking drafty doors with door sweeps or door snakes and warming up with rugs, throws and duvets. For even more energy savings, shut doors to unused rooms, move furniture away from heating vents and close the chimney flue when it’s not in use" (Houzz).
