5 things I clean weekly to avoid $$$ repairs later
I know most of these people are cleaning weekly anyway BUT I wanted to share my tips for getting them extra clean and for how they actually help save you time & money in the long run.
All the areas of our home need so much care so they can serve us to the best of their abilities. Cleaning and proper care give spaced & items in your home the ability to perform the best & longest they can! 🏠
When I’ve taken the time to really deep clean and care for my home, I’ve noticed we have less breakdowns or issues that need to be fixed. Such as our dryer, if we didn’t take the lint out regularly, it might be broken or need to have been replaced months ago. But because I take 10 minutes every week to clean out all the lint I can, it’s been able to perform amazing! Even though it was the cheapest dryer we could find!
And cleaning your drains will always save you so much headache later. They’ll never clog and you’ll never have to call a plumber to take out pipes just to clean them! So that’s a huge money saver too!

Maintaining a clean home is not just about aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan of your appliances and systems. Regular cleanings such as removing lint from your dryer, using baking soda and vinegar in the garbage disposal, and deep cleaning tubs and sinks can significantly reduce the risk of mechanical failures and costly repairs. For instance, the buildup of lint in dryer vents not only hinders performance but poses a serious fire hazard. By dedicating just a few minutes each week to this simple task, you can enhance safety and efficiency. Additionally, cleaning drains can prevent overloads that lead to clogs, saving you from emergency plumbing fees. Don’t forget about your stove top and countertop areas! Utilizing disinfectants and specialized cleaners can remove stubborn stains and ensure that these surfaces remain in pristine condition. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup, which could otherwise affect the taste of your meals or lead to premature wear of your appliances. Finally, consider implementing a comprehensive cleaning routine that addresses all hard-to-reach areas, including baseboards and appliances. By using a thorough approach to cleaning, you keep not just visible surfaces but also hidden areas spotless. This not only sustains the aesthetics of your home but also prevents issues that could arise from neglecting upkeep. By prioritizing these cleaning habits, your home can be a safer, problem-free environment that saves you money and extends the life of your possessions.
Preventative maintenance is key! I try to stay on top of cleaning, but sometimes I slack. 😅
