Maintenance Schedule
Monthly maintenance will keep your Britton Home looking beautiful over time. Our monthly maintenance checklist will help you keep track of what needs to be done.
Monthly
- Pour lemon juice into the garbage disposal to help remove stale food smells.
- If your home is equipped with a down draft grill, clean out the grease trap under the unit.
- Most bath sinks are equipped with an overflow located near the top of the bowl. Small amounts of water can become trapped in the overflow and can cause a slight odor. Occasionally flushing the overflow with a non-corrosive household cleaner will remedy this situation.
- Change air conditioning filters once a month as well as the fresh air filter in the attic.
Quarterly
- Check the GFCI reset in your bath and kitchen areas.
- Test your smoke detectors and change the batteries as needed.
Semi-Annually
- Spray Pest Control around the perimeter of your home to deter intruding insects.
- Use your paint touch-up kit for painted trim and wall during the first few months for the best color match.
- Inpect the condition of your washing machine rubber supply hoses. Replace brittle or damage hoses.
- Cleanout gutters for proper drainage.
