Are you a
Homeowner?As you deep clean this season, make sure to include these five crucial safety checks on your to-do list.
Over time, dust can build up inside your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, reducing their effectiveness. Use a vacuum attachment or a dry cloth to clean them and test that they’re still working properly.
Grease and oil residue on stovetops, range hoods, and oven interiors can become a fire hazard. Give these surfaces a thorough clean and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to check your electrical setup. Avoid plugging too many devices into one socket and replace old, frayed cables that could spark a fire.
Piles of magazines, papers, or even blankets too close to heaters, radiators, or fireplaces can ignite quickly. Keep flammable items away from heat sources and make sure furniture isn’t blocking air vents.
Smoke and CO alarms should be replaced every 10 years. Check the manufacturing date on your devices and upgrade to interlinked alarms for enhanced protection.
As you refresh your home and protect your loved ones, don’t forget that a safer home starts with a thorough clean-up.
