Cleaning Outside Windows

Wipe the window with a dry cloth first, this will get rid of loose dust and hard to see webs. For outside Windows you could go through a lot of spray cleaners so save that for the inside windows. Use cold water with a dash of detergent, some say warm water evaporates quickly on glass and can create fog or condensation. Make sure your water is clean, you may need to change the water for each house sized window. Wipe in the same direction. And if you want to halve the time it takes invest in a window squeegee with a rubber blade. You may as well do the screens as well, warm soapy water and a gentle wipe, no good having clean windows with a dirty screen.

Basic maintainance.

Fix the leaky tap. Did you know many bugs that enter houses will stay if they find a ready water source so fix that leaky tap. Repair broken grout, it’s a pretty easy job and hard to get wrong so give it a go. Any hardware or tile store sells small amounts of grout in a variety of colours- simply wet mix and insert into cracks, it’s that easy. Replace damaged flywire, as it’s not working even if it has a small hole in it.

Throwing things away

Most of us will go through wardrobes, pantries, and cupboards eager to move on as many things as possible. Our first thought may be to simply throw stuff away, but although that’s a quick solution you would be better off donating unwanted goods to charity, clothes can go to the Salvo’s, Op shop or even the big clothing bins, house hold goods and furniture straight to the op shop, please don’t send items that are broken or unsellable. And remember to recycle when you can.

Reducing dust

Dust first, vacuum last, don’t forget to clean the ceiling fans and dust above the lamp shades (use the brush attachment on your vacuum) and curtains and above curtain rails. You can reduce a lot of dust by simply having more door mats, one on the inside and one on the outside. If you seem to have a lot of dust check you entry doors, if you don’t have dust strips or mats you should consider getting some, they also save your heat and air conditioning from escaping.

Check Cupboards

All cupboards have corners where dust and grime can gather, so make sure you check out those corners and remove any build up.

Things that should checked annually

• Batteries in smoke alarms • Ducted heating ducts and air filters. • All ceiling ducts fans (like the ones in your bathroom ceiling). • Down pipes and gutters as water doesn’t just overflow when they are full, water can actually start flowing back into your ceiling or house structure. • Clean oven hood vent • Clean dishwasher filter
