Five Ways To Keep Your Home Healthy In 2023
Have you thought about keeping your home healthy lately? Sometimes, things just fly under the radar that may have not even popped into your head.
The start of a new year is a great time to check on them to make sure you avoid any potential dangers in the household.
Here are a few things to look out for.
Clean Lint From Dryer Vent
Every year, over 3,000 housefires are started by a clogged dryer vent. You do not want to be one of those 3,000 in 2023.
It takes less than a minute to open up the vent of your dryer and take the lint out, but it is a task that is rarely thought of when doing the laundry. Make sure you make it a priority to do so throughout 2023 – especially if you live in a larger household.
Remove Dust From Air Vents
With South Florida’s summer months quickly approaching, you are going to want to get the most out of your air conditioner.
Be sure to clean out the dust built up in your air vents to make sure your home does not have to work as hard to keep you cool. Dust has a tendency to get trapped in your air vents and build up quickly.
Wash Your Shower Curtain
Over time, mildew and mold build up on your shower curtain. It can be commonly overlooked but when it builds up, it can get bad.
Be sure to put both the inside and outside curtain in the washing machine — and read the tags just in case yours has special instructions — and hang them back up in the bathtub to dry.
Vacuum Under Furniture
While the area is not always visible, food crumbs and other small objects build up pretty quickly over time — especially if you are enjoying your time at your home.
Be sure to vacuum under all of your furniture to ensure that crumbs do not build up and attract bugs to your home.
Clean Your Cleaning Supplies
The start of a new year is a good time to make sure the tools you are using to keep your house clean are fresh.
Be sure to sanitize household items such as brooms, mop buckets, vacuum cleaners, plungers and toilet brushes to make sure they are in tip-top shape. Be sure to clean out the bag of your vacuum cleaner as well.
