Change Smoke Detector Batteries
Experts state you should change your smoke alarm batteries every 6 months. If you haven’t changed your batteries in a while, now is a good time to replace them. They also recommend you replace the smoke alarms every 10 years.
Inspect & Repair Outdoor Play Equipment
Everyone is looking forward to fresh air and getting outdoors. Make sure your little ones are safe playing on the outside equipment. Give your outdoor equipment some attention and ensure they’re safe and secure. While doing that, check the surrounding areas for safety hazards too.
Reorganize Your Kitchen
Think about how your kitchen is used during various seasons. With the change in seasons and activities, now is a good time to adjust and organize your kitchen accordingly.
Give Your Home A Good Dusting
It’s summer! Windows are open and the breeze is flowing through your home with the start of summer — with that, dust and microscopic mites gathered during the winter months can be pushed through your home. Don’t let that happen! Give your home a good dusting by wiping down furniture, baseboards, doors, window sills and ceiling fans.
