September Home Maintenance Checklist: Seasonal Refresh
As we settle into “fall” (Texas-style), here are a few quick home maintenance tips to keep things running smoothly:
Clean Out Clothes from Last School Year: Out with the old, in with the new! A fresh closet reset makes mornings easier and frees up space.
Dust Blinds and Clean Windows: Let in that September sunshine! Removing dust and grime helps brighten up your home.
Clear Out Dishwasher Filter: A quick filter clean keeps your dishwasher running efficiently and prevents buildup.
Deep Clean Dryer Vents: A must for safety. Removing lint from vents helps prevent fire hazards and keeps your dryer working better.
Taking care of these small tasks now will set your home up for a cleaner, safer, and more organized season ahead!
