Cleaning Tips to Extend the Life of Your Home

April 21, 2025

Wipe Down Baseboards and Trim Regularly

Dust and scuff marks on baseboards can lead to permanent staining or damage over time. A quick wipe with a damp cloth every couple of weeks helps preserve the paint and keep your trim looking fresh.

Clean Air Vents and Replace Filters

Dirty vents and clogged air filters can affect air quality and HVAC performance. Vacuum vents monthly and change filters every 60–90 days to reduce dust buildup and keep your home breathing easy.

Vacuum Carpets and Rugs Frequently

Regular vacuuming prevents debris from wearing down carpet fibers. For high-traffic areas, aim for 2–3 times per week to preserve softness and extend carpet life.

Deep Clean Appliances

Oven grime, refrigerator spills, and dishwasher buildup can shorten appliance lifespan. Wipe interiors monthly, and deep clean each appliance at least once per season.

Don’t Forget the Windows

Dirty windows aren’t just unsightly—they can also damage seals over time. Clean glass and tracks seasonally and check for any signs of moisture or mildew.
