2/14/2022 (Permalink)
Valentine's Day is often considered one to indulge and celebrate with loved ones. This year, consider spending some time tending to the areas around your home that don’t receive as much attention. This attention to detail to keep your home a place you love to be.
Repairs and consistent cleaning are an important part of any homeowners routine. It will make the space you live in more comfortable and cleaner as we move through the months. Here are some of the areas to pay attention to in the home and a few methods for caring for them.
Deep Cleaning and Preparation
Spring cleaning can always come a little bit earlier.
- Clean carpet and upholstery to prevent harmful bacteria buildup.
- Consider purchasing an air purifier to assist with allergens.
- Remove excess fabrics and objects. Mold and dust collect on stored items and these allergens are not good for your health.
- Get a head start on hurricane preparation and inspect any hurricane shutter and any supply kits you may have. It is good to keep up with Royal Palm Beach’s flood zone
Pay Attention to the Air You Breathe
According to the United Sates Consumer Product Safety Commission, some health effects could indicate indoor air quality problems, but you should discuss with a doctor and maybe a board-certified allergist. Maintaining good air quality could benefit you and contaminants from circulating. If unwelcome dirt, dust or pollen have built up in your home, try some of the suggestions below.
- Change the air conditioning filter (typically once ever one to three months).
- HVAC inspection and cleaning – indoor air is more polluted than the air we breathe outdoors, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
- Test your air quality in your home.
- Purchase an air purifier for your home to help cut down any potential contaminants or odors.
Inspect Rooms With Appliances
A common cause for water damage in Palm Beach County is a pipe burst or leak. Take a little bit of time to check around your home for any potential lurking leak sources or wear and tear on machines around your home.
- Check leak hot spots such as toilets, faucets, water heaters, refrigerators, washing machines and showerheads.
- Review warranty on any appliances that appear to be operating abnormally
- Schedule a plumbing system inspection if pipe issues like corrosion or leaks, are a concern.
- Test your home’s water pressure.
- If you find that there is possible water damage to flooring, walls and other areas in your home, call a restoration team, like ours at your local SERVPRO, to complete an inspection.
Monitor High-Moisture Areas for Mold & Mildew
Mold and mildew collect quickly around areas with a lot of exposure to moisture. Florida’s humid climate can make mold more pervasive. Here are some of the most common places to give attention.
- Check walls near appliances for stains which is indicative of water damage.
- Remove shower heads and clean off any build up or residue.
- Properly clean textiles before storing and spray with a water-repellent spray.
- If you see mold, we do not recommend trying to remove it on your own. Call SERVPRO of West Palm Beach. Our team of mold remediators provide mold damage restoration to homes and businesses throughout Royal Palm Beach and the surrounding areas.
