Maintenance Tips

We know that home maintenance can be tricky, especially for our first-time homeowners.
Please review these maintenance tips to keep your home in tip-top shape.

  • Dishwasher

    frequencyAs Needed
    Run dishwasher cleaner through a cycle every so often to clean the components inside. Also by using rinse aid it will dry the kitchen ware better and leave less water in the dishwasher after a cycle.
  • Disposal

    frequencyAs Needed
    To freshen up the disposal run lemon peels through it. Also to clean the blades run ice through it.
  • Dryer

    frequencyYearly
    It is recommended to have the dryer vent cleaned as it can collect lint in the pipe and can be a potential fire hazard as well as decrease the drying efficiency of the dryer.
  • Electric Glass Cooktop

    frequencyAs Needed
    Clean the glass regularly but do not use anything abrasive to clean it. It will scratch the glass.
  • Gas Cooktop

    frequencyAs Needed
    The grates on the cooktop are cast iron and should not be washed with soap. It will dry the oils out of the cast iron. As the cast iron gets older you can recondition the cast iron grates by rubbing them with cooking oil and cooking it in the oven at 350°F for an hour.
  • Gas Oven

    frequencyAs Needed
    The bottom of the oven should be cleaned often. Do not use foil on the bottom of the oven as the flame from the gas can melt the foil and damage the oven.
  • Microwave/Range Hood

    frequencyMonthly
    Clean or replace the filters as they can build up grease.
  • Plumbing Fixtures

    frequencyAs Needed
    A damp cloth and mild liquid dishwashing soap may be used for a limited amount of time, followed by rinsing with water and drying with a soft cloth. Most common household cleaners can be used. All cleaners should be rinsed off thoroughly with water immediately after cleaning your faucet. Avoid using any harsh cleansers or pads/sponges that are unsafe for polished metallic surfaces.
  • Refrigerator

    frequencyAs Needed
    Replace the water filter when noted to keep the water clean and the flow consistent.
  • Washer

    frequencyYearly
    Keep an eye on the water lines feeding the washer. Over time, they can start to go bad and start to leak. If they are showing signs of being brittle or cracking, go ahead and replace them.
