Hello North Oregon Coast homeowners,
As we embrace the new year, it's the perfect time to give your home the attention it deserves. As your local Oregon Coast Realtor, I understand the unique challenges our coastal homes face. Here are some January home maintenance tips to keep your sanctuary in top-notch condition:
1. Refrigerator TLC: Vacuum Those Coils
Your refrigerator works hard to keep things cool, but it needs a little care too. Take a moment to vacuum the coils on the back and bottom of your fridge. Dust and debris can accumulate, making your appliance work harder than necessary. A quick vacuum session ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency.
2. Dishwasher Detox: White Vinegar Magic
For a fresh start in the kitchen, run your dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar in the top rack. This simple trick helps remove built-up soap scum, grease, and mineral deposits. Your dishes will thank you, and your dishwasher will operate more efficiently.
3. Garbage Disposal Revitalization: Ice, Baking Soda, & Lemon Peel
Give your garbage disposal a spa day by grinding ice cubes, baking soda, and lemon peel. This trio helps clean, deodorize, and sharpen the blades. The result? A disposal that efficiently tackles whatever you throw at it, leaving your kitchen smelling citrusy fresh.
As your dedicated Realtor on the Oregon Coast, I believe that maintaining your home is an investment in its long-term value. A well-cared-for home not only provides comfort but also enhances its resale potential.
