3 things I clean weekly to avoid $$ repairs later!

hi friends!!!

i hope you're having a great day today! i wanted to share 3 things that i deep clean weekly in order to save money on repairs if i didn't take care of these!

01. the sink/disposal - this is an easy one where things get stuck, causing odors and damages. i quickly clean it with these pods once a week and have never had issues.

02. air vents - cleaning this is not only healthier so you aren't always breathing in dusty air, but i try my best to not let it get clogged, in hopes of not forcing it to work harder

03. bathtub - scum and build up can become a bigger issue in the future if not taken care of properly, so... just scrub your tub!

what do you clean weekly in order to reduce future repair costs?!

Using specialized disposal cleaner pods, such as those with powerful foaming action, effectively breaks down debris in the sink disposal, eliminating odors and avoiding damage caused by clogs. Air vents, often overlooked, accumulate dust and debris that not only degrade indoor air quality but also cause HVAC systems to work harder, potentially shortening their lifespan. Routine dusting or vacuuming of these vents promotes healthier breathing and efficient heating and cooling. The bathtub and shower areas commonly accumulate soap scum and hard water stains. If left untreated, these build-ups can damage surfaces and wear away caulking, leading to leaks and costly water damage. Using appropriate cleaning products like pink stain removers can help protect these surfaces and maintain their durability. By dedicating time to these three weekly cleaning tasks, homeowners reduce the risk of repairs, save on maintenance costs, and create a healthier living environment. Integrating such proactive cleaning routines is a smart strategy for long-term home care and expense prevention.

I have a mini washer and dryer which have lint filters. I make sure to clean them weekly to help keep them running smoothly.
