Quick Fall Tips to Save Stress and Energy
1. Pipe Up – Be sure to close outside spigots, detach sprinklers and hoses, and check for leaks before winter’s first freeze.
2. Window Watch – Check the caulk around your windowsills. It should be spongy to the touch. If hardened, remove with caulk remover and apply new caulk.
3. Carbon Monoxide Monitor – Winter months and close-up homes can conceal hidden dangers. Check your carbon monoxide detector once a week. If you don’t have one, consider the investment. The cost is nominal, but the protection is priceless. You can also check with your local Fire Department, this time of the year, they will normally give them out.
4. Light Bright – Before holiday guests arrive, run your glass light globes through the dishwasher for a fast, simple sparkle.
5. Fireplace Odor Eater – To eliminate soot odor, place a large dish of baking soda in your fireplace overnight.
