February Home Maintenance Checklist
Spring is just around the corner! By the time February rolls around, I’m ready for spring which starts March 1 on my calendar. The February Home Maintenance Checklist is a short one that leaves time to enjoy the late-season snowfalls.
Complete a couple of tasks each week or finish the entire list at once. It’s up to you. Either way, there will be plenty of time to enjoy family time and your favorite winter sport.
February Home Maintenance Checklist
Let’s get started on this month’s checklist…
- Check Furnace Filters / Change If Needed
- Check Caulking Around Showers & Bathtubs
- Test Garage Door Auto-Reverse
- Clean Range Hood & Filter
- Clean Garbage Disposal
- Treat Septic Tank
- Clean & Vacuum Curtains
Checking the caulking around showers and bathtubs is a small task that could save many headaches in the future. A broken caulk line could result in a slow leak around the shower or tub. Those slow leaks can cause damage to the walls and floors around it or even damage to a ceiling below. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure!
Just in case you missed January, you can find it here.
So there you have it, Cape County! A few February tasks to keep your home running smoothly all year long.
January Home Maintenance Checklist
As winter sets in around Cape Girardeau County, you will probably hear someone say, “Baby, it’s cold outside.” That is when January home maintenance is the last thing on your mind.
We still have a few home maintenance items to take care though…even when it’s cold. Remember, doing a little each month prevents the overwhelm of doing it all at once or even repairs caused by neglect.
January Home Maintenance Checklist
Most of the January Home Maintenance Checklist will allow you to stay inside where it’s warm. Let’s get started…
- Check Furnace Filters / Change If Needed
- Test Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
- Clean Range Hood & Filter
- Vacuum Refrigerator Coils
- Run Water & Flush Toilets in Unused Spaces
- Check Water Softener & Add Salt if Needed
- Clean Garbage Disposal
- Inspect Fire Extinguisher(s)
- Treat Septic Tank
- Cut Back Roses & Rose Bushes
I love having roses around my home and if you are the same, January is the ideal time to cut back roses. All blooms have gone dormant at this point and new growth has not started. If you are brave enough to get outside for a while this month, find a warm day to take on rose care.
