When we find time to do general cleaning on our home, we tend to focus on our closets, gutters, backyard, front entrance, and rooms. However, some neglected parts of our house also need cleaning for your home to be safe and healthy.
Check Your Outdoor Lighting – We don’t usually pay much attention to outdoor lighting because we only see it occasionally. However, you should remember that these lights also serve as our protection from being the target of thieves. Neglected outdoor lighting can give unwanted guests the impression that nobody cares about the home’s safety.
To ensure safety, check your outdoor lights from time to time and see if it is still functional and if your detectors need cleaning. It is possible that your wiring gets corroded which could be a safety hazard, and it could make the lighting stop functioning.
Mold Inspection – One of the hidden dangers at home that needs cleaning is mold. Mold infestation is hazardous to your household’s health since it can cause eye irritation, throat irritation, and skin problems. To avoid mold infestation, you must regularly clean parts of your home that quickly get damp, like the kitchen and bathroom. Check for any pipe leaks, or better yet, have a mold inspection.
Check Your Home Security – Find time to check if all security measures at home are still functional or up and running. Examples would be security cameras, sensors, and locks for windows and doors. Test your system to check if it is still serving its purpose. Ensure that all security materials are clean and clear from any specks of dust that can cause malfunction.
Keep Your Air Clean – Air pollutants are always present in your home. This is why we sweep the floor or vacuum to clean up the dust. Regular, thorough cleanings will help you to keep your air clean. Air filters for your HVAC can help, and cleaning your blinds can lessen the amount of dust in your home.
