What Should Be in Your New Year Home Maintenance Checklist?

The beginning of the year is a good time to inspect your home and see what it needs for the year ahead. There may be a lot of projects so it’s best to start early!

Change Water Filters

Clogged filters are a nuisance, disrupting the flow of water and allowing mold to proliferate inside the filter itself. Ideally, your water and ice filters need to be changed twice a year, so if you haven’t already, replace them now. The gradual change in temperature will only aggravate existing problems in the water filters.

Clean the Tubs and Sinks

Blockages in the tub and sinks aren’t just unpleasant, they force dirty water to pool, which can stain your sink and tub. It might even cause mold and mildew to grow in the basin and pipes. As part of your new-year maintenance, take time to clean the tubs and sinks so they’re squeaky clean.

Clean and Organize Closets

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to clean and organize your closet. Throughout the course of the year, everything finds its way into the closet, causing a mess. Since it’s too cold to enjoy the outdoors anyway, schedule a day to clean out and organize your closet properly.

These are just some of the important home maintenance and cleaning projects that should be on your new-year checklist. At Handyman Connection of Novi, we’ll help you get started on your plans and make sure you meet the new year with a clean and decluttered home.
