It’s that time of the year again! It is a time when you can reflect on the past year and decide to make changes once that clock strikes midnight on January 1st. While setting personal goals is great, this year try adding goals related to your home. Check out these New year’s resolutions to maintain a welcoming home in 2024.
Cleaning
The new year is a perfect time to have a fresh start. And what better way to do that than hiring a Pro for a deep house cleaning. We all know how busy the end of the year can be, especially with the holidays, so get your home back in pristine condition with a professional cleaning crew. They have the proper experience and equipment to leave your home spotless and sparkling to begin the new year. If you’re interested in keeping your home clean throughout the year, hire a cleaning service to come regularly.
Organizing
Along with your space being cleaned, you can consider hiring a professional organizer to help you sort through and organize your belongings. From clothing to the kitchen pantry, we are all guilty of holding on to things that we do not need. The new year is a great time to declutter all of your spaces. Consider donating clothing items that are in good condition and non-perishable food items as well.
Odd Jobs
We are all guilty of putting off small jobs. Unfortunately, over time the small jobs add up and then we can feel overwhelmed with what to tackle first. This new year, make it a goal to have all small jobs taken care of. You can hire a handyman to complete all tasks on the same day, or set a schedule and prioritize which ones to fix first. Completing these jobs can take your mind off of them and let you focus on other things, such as the DIY project you’ve been thinking about starting for the past 6 months!
Regular Home Maintenance
Fire Alarms & Safety
Fire alarms can often be easily forgotten when it comes to home maintenance. This new year, be sure to check and test all of your fire alarms. Additionally, check your fire extinguishers to see if they are expired. If so, be sure to purchase new ones ASAP.
HVAC Maintenance
Your home heating and cooling systems require filters to provide clean air for your home. Without regular maintenance, these filters can become clogged which can lead to poor air quality and other concerns. Set a reminder to check these filters regularly, or hire a pro for scheduled maintenance visits. To learn more about the importance of this task, click here.
Lawn Care
While the new year lands in the middle of the winter months, it’s never too early to start planning for spring and summer. Lawn maintenance companies tend to book up fast. Get ahead of the curve this new year by locking in your regular lawn maintenance early. Our lawns require a lot of maintenance (click here to learn all about it) and your lawn and curb appeal and struggle if it’s not taken care of.
