Great home maintenance is key to a beautiful house that makes you happy. It also makes your appliances and home exterior last longer.

Did You Forget About Your Fridge and Windows?

Don’t feel bad, it happens. These are two areas that are important but easily overlooked. Vacuuming fridge coils – sometimes they’re on the back of the refrigerator – doesn’t take long, but it can dramatically improve energy efficiency. Another place that’s easy to forget about is the outside of your windows. Aim to clean exterior windows every two months or so using a pressure washer, garden hose, squeegee or homemade window cleaner. Make sure windows are completely closed and sealed before you douse them with water.
