Moving into a New Home: How to Maintain it

Article Image

Enjoying a new, clean, living space is one of the best parts of moving home. To ensure that you can enjoy this for as long as possible, it is imperative that you properly maintain the home. After living in a home for long enough, some problems get to the point where they feel unmanageable. The only way to prevent this is to keep on top of the issue before it gets out of hand. Learn how to maintain your new home in this guide.

Regular cleaning

One of the most important things when maintaining a new home is regular cleaning. The longer the interval between cleaning, the more dust and dirt will accumulate. This may not seem like an issue since it is being cleaned eventually anyway, however, it is not that simple. At a certain point, filth accumulates enough that it becomes more difficult to clean. Not only that, but sometimes when you clean it, you won't clean it completely. If something is not regularly cleaned, it can become harder to clean each time.

This is especially the case in rooms such as the kitchen where grease and oil stains are not uncommon. Build-ups of grease, oil and other food residues can quickly become very difficult to clean. What would take a few seconds to clean when it happens can turn into hours of work. Certain substances can leave stains over time if not cleaned. Similar to the previous example, it is significantly harder to remove a stain than to prevent one.

You also must consider that food residue can attract pests. Depending on the type and size of the residue and what part of Australia you live in, countless different kinds of pests can cause trouble in your home. Some pests may even cause damage to your home, such as scratches.

Ventilation

Ventilation is another important part of maintaining a new home. Ventilation is important to prevent dirty air from building up. Anything airborne, be it bacteria, odours, harmful gasses, or even moisture, will accumulate in the air if it is stagnant. Ventilation removes the old dirty air and replaces it with new clean air. If not properly ventilated, the air in your home can be harmful to both you and the home itself. Moisture, in particular, can cause mould.

Putting things away

Keep your new home tidy by putting things away properly. After unpacking, all of your belongings should be put away tidily. To maintain a tidy home, you need to put things back in the same state and location as they are now. It is important to keep on top of this. Putting something back incorrectly once or twice may seem insignificant, but these mistakes accumulate. Eventually, you end up with many of your belongings in the wrong place. Not only is this untidy, but it can also cause you to lose things.
