Clean the Kitchen and Bathroom

If there’s a fire emergency in your home, you will certainly want to be prepared, and the best way is to make sure your fire extinguishers are working properly, and also make sure everyone in the home can properly use them.
Inspect Your Refrigerator
Your fridge may need their coils cleaned if they accumulate too much dust. This would result in it a decrease in efficiency of a very important household appliance.
Inspect Your Water Heater
Your water heater usually puts in a lot of effort to give you hot water, so you should return the favor by doing regular checkups on is health. The last thing you want is a faulty water heater.
Deep-Clean Rugs and Carpets
You likely vacuum them from time to time, but sometimes they need a deeper cleaning to get everything out.

These devices are crucial to your family’s safety, so take the time to ensure that they are working properly and have fresh batteries.

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your house, so you should take great care in making sure it’s doing its job properly. A poorly kept roof could spell big trouble later on.
Touch Up Paint
The elements can do a number on your house’s paint job over time, so check to make sure there aren’t any spots that have worn too much or cracked, and do a touch-up if necessary.
Remove Any Undesirable Flora
Trees and bushes can grow a lot. You’ll want to make sure no branches or trees themselves pose a threat to your property, and also be aware of weeds or bushes in hard to reach areas.
