Summer is the perfect time to take a look around the house. Thanks to Good Housekeeping, here are a few items to check:
Taking care of cooling equipment by changing the HVAC filter, checking the temperature, and keeping humidity and air pollutants in check.
Being prepared for extreme weather by inspecting and repairing the roof, siding, windows, and doors.
Being on the lookout for pests by sealing any cracks or gaps, removing any food sources, and using natural repellents.
Cleaning out gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage and mold growth.
Power washing your driveway, sidewalks, deck, patio, and grill to remove dirt and stains.
Washing windows and replacing window screens to improve ventilation and visibility.
