Summer is around the corner so now is the perfect time to tackle those small home maintenance tasks that often get overlooked. ☀️

Getting the easier ones out of the way now, however, will lighten the “honey do” list you’ll face later in the year

Here are a few quick projects you can complete in just 10 minutes:

Lubricate sliding doors and windows after cleaning the tracks. Squirt some lubricant on anything that slides, such as sliding glass doors, windows and doors once a year. But, first, clean out the “gunk” that’s accumulated in and around the tracks.

Test smoke alarms and replace batteries during daylight savings changes. 🕒

Inspect your garage door opener for safety issues. Pull the handle to put the system into manual mode and lifting the door one metre from the ground. It should remain open. If not call the expert

Clean your dryer ducts to prevent fire hazards.
Most home fires are preventable, so including safety maintenance chores on your list may save lives. All of these tasks take just a few minutes.

Frayed wires are fire hazards so take a few minutes to check the cords on appliances, electronics, lamps and other electric products. Don’t run extension cords under rugs, by the way.

These simple tasks can help you maintain a safe and efficient home, leaving you more time to enjoy the season!
