Take Advantage of the June Gloom to Get Organized

June officially marks the start of Summer. While our weather still may be waiting on the memo, it’s still a good time to check off a few home tasks.

  1. Inspect and clean the dryer vent. This simple task can help you avoid dryer fires, extend the life of your appliance, and improve overall efficiency.
  2. Clean the refrigerator condenser. Ignoring this job can lead to efficiency problems or even a breakdown of the refrigerator. Learn how to clean it here.
  3. Create a mosquito free zone. If you love being outside but don’t want to be feasted on, consider creating an herb garden with scents that mosquitos don’t like. Here’s what should be included.
  4. Clean the garage. We know this is a daunting task and for much of the year it feels impossible because of poor weather. Summer is your moment. Get stuff out of the garage, go through it, sweep the floor and enjoy the clean! Even if you don’t have time to get through the whole thing, choose a spot and get started.
