Summer Maintenance Tips for Homeowners in Nashville

Here’s what you should be doing this season to keep your home in the best condition:

• Deep clean your grill in preparation for grilling season! Cleaning the grates and interior with a grill brush, and using a warm soapy wash on the exterior will ensure your grill is working properly and prevent flare-ups. For gas grills, make sure to check for cracks in the fuel line and clean out any clogged burner holes.

• Clean your washer and dryer to make sure they are ready for all the beach towels and swimsuits. Make sure to wipe dirt from inside the drum and rubber seal and then add a cup of white vinegar and run the empty washer through a cycle.
• Pressure wash and weather-treat your wood fence, decks, outdoor ceilings, etc. This will help preserve the longevity of the wood.
• Schedule monthly mosquito treatment. The mosquitoes can be a big nuisance in your outdoor space.
• Schedule quarterly pest control to prevent spiders, ants, centipedes, etc. 

*Adding reminders/alerts to your calendar is an easy way to help remind you when it’s time to perform these home maintenance checklist items!
