Here are some tips to keep your home in tip-top shape and help keep your furniture looking better longer:
- Replace the felt pads that keep your chairs, tables and couches from scraping on the floor. The felt wear out over time.
- Plants that normally sit on a wood deck should be slightly elevated. In doing so, you will prevent the wood beneath from rotting.
- Place reflective taps on garage or basement stairs. Safety first!
- Recalibrate your oven to make sure you are baking/broiling at the correct temp.
- Schedule fireplace checks to ensure that there aren’t any corrosive substances in your chimney.
- Wash away salt from the road residue from your car and driveway. For those of you dealing with the cold weather should be especially aware of this one since salt is used to keep roads from icing over.
