Home maintenance seems like a daunting task, but it’s actually a lot easier than it sounds. All you need is the desire to keep a well-maintained house and some quick tips on how to go about it. If you own a home at Phoenix One Bangalore West, you certainly have a great taste and want to take care of your fine possessions. So here are five simple tips you should know to keep your property in shape throughout the year.

1. Keep it Spic and Span

The first step towards maintaining a house is keeping it clean. Apart from the regular sweeping and moping, it’s important to clean the glass windows and balcony railings to make your house sparkle. Decluttering your living space also lends a well-maintained look. According to Marie Kondo, the famous Japanese organizing consultant, small things, like getting rid of unwanted items,  fixing specific spots for specific things, and storing things vertically, go a long way in keeping your home clutter-free.

2. Take Care of the Flooring

Different types of flooring require a different kind of care. For instance, marble flooring like the ones used in the foyer, living, and dining areas at Phoenix OBW, need to be cleaned with a soft dust mop to avoid scratching the surface. If you have laminated wooden flooring, never drag any kind of furniture around the flooring as doing so can damage it.

 3. Clean Your Air Conditioners

A well-maintained air conditioner not only ensures proper air flow but saves energy as well. Keep your ACs clean, especially during summers. Change soiled filters and inspect the vents to ensure there’s no accumulated dust.

4. Conduct Roof and Gutters Checks

Every year before the rainy season, you should go for an exhaustive check of downspouts and gutter. Apart from water damage, a clogged downspout or gutter can lead to cracks in the foundation and insect infestations. You can use a trowel to remove the debris and flush out the remaining dirt with water.

5. Prevent Plumbing Problems

Blocked kitchen sinks and bathroom drains are a common problem in many homes. By being a little careful, you can avoid them. Don’t pour oil, food crumbs, or other solids into the kitchen sink. Remove hair from the tub and sink in the bathroom immediately to prevent choked drains. If despite your best efforts you have such a problem, you can use a plunger to fix it. But if the issue continues, it’s time to call the plumber.

In short, maintaining a house doesn’t need Herculean efforts. Follow these simple tips to stay on the top of your home maintenance and make sure your home looks new year after year.
