Watch as Lou Manfredini, Ace's Home Expert, goes through five things you should consider handling this month.
What To Do To Your Home In December
Keeping your home in shape is the best way to prevent larger repairs. Here is a list of our top five to-do's for December.
Deep Clean Your Appliances - From dishwashers to washing machines, the appliances that do the most cleaning should also be cleaned. Check the manufacturer's instructions on how to properly clean your machine or use a specialty cleaner that is acceptable for the unit you have in your home.
Chimney and Fireplace Inspected - Contact a licensed professional to have your chimney and/or fireplace inspected to ensure it's working safely and properly for chilly nights.
Clean Before Guests Arrive - Lights, doors, and floorboards pick up a lot of dust and debris over time. Dust and scrub these areas to reduce the allergens that can collect in your home over time.
Check Your Showerhead - Calcium deposits can build over time on your showerhead. Use a proper cleaner to deep clean your showerhead to reduce bacteria and mildew from collecting.
Inspect Your Home For Mold - Mold can appear in the strangest places. From bathroom walls to basement corners, grab a mold testing kit and confirm the mold you've spotted isn't going to be dangerous to your household.
