Summer checklist for your home – get yours done now

Summer checklist for your home – get yours done now

Let Lana Del Ray sing about ‘Summertime sadness’, why should you? Embrace the best part of summer – making a splash in your community swimming pool, guzzling on iced sangrias and dishing out scoops of fresh ice cream for the kids or setting up a barbeque on your balcony. And yes, for all this, get your home ready for this sweet summer of ‘21 enjoy the hot months in cool ways.

Chill out

That one most important gadget you just can’t live without is your air conditioner. You will need that throughout the time you are at home – in the day if you’re working from home, and at night, for that comfortable precious sleep. Call in the air conditioner maintenance folks to service all the ACs in your home. Before you call them, check if the free service guarantee period is on so you don’t have to pay for the cleaning up. When the ducts and filters are being cleaned, ask the guys to also check for any collection of the water run-off. Stagnant water from the AC run-off can breed mosquitoes. To prevent water stagnation, you could allow a pipe running from the AC to your plants, or directly into a drainage outlet.

At the same time, do get the ceiling fans, and exhaust fans in the kitchen and bath spaces cleaned out too.

Be fridge-it

Your refrigerator is another cool time buddy that you should be loyal to, more so in the summer. Keep an eye out for the cooling when it is switched on at maximum and if the freezer is at its optimal performance. You’ll need it the most to store all the ice cream and ice cubes for those surprise parties. If your ‘fridge is fairly new and within the guarantee period, make the most of it and get it serviced and cleaned, especially the coils. If it has seen better days, look for signs that indicate that it needs a gas refill. Like ACs, refrigerators too use a non-inflammable gas to keep it cool. Overuse, it needs a refill. When the food on the shelves and vegetables in the veggies tray of the fridge start freezing, it is a sign that it’s time for a refill of the gas.

Tap the flow

This is the best time to check the plumbing and rainwater harvesting units at home. Stem leaking taps and flush tanks. Don’t forget to get the shower heads unclogged. You’ll now need to water your garden often; so instead of using a water hose that uses too much water and causes huge water-runoff, install water sprinklers – the ‘smart’ ones can be operated with a timer – to curb water wastage.

Colour walls

This is the best time to give your walls a makeover with fresh hues to welcome in the new season. Choose some dreamy textures with floral or leaf motifs in the bedrooms. Give your kids’ room a starry and moonlit night sky look on the ceiling with fluorescent shades that make it glow at night.

Winning windows

Let in the summer breeze and some healthy air from the outdoors. Replace heavy winter drapes with light, willowy curtains in crushed cotton or voile. The same goes for the sofa upholstery and bed linen. Cotton is light to the touch and is a breathable fabric best suited for hot and dry summers. If the fabric is not your thing, install the latest in remote-controlled window shades and blinds for convenience and comfort.

Potpourri

If you have a mini balcony garden, bring a few plants indoors to keep the home fresh with natural oxygen. Remember, plants breathe in carbon dioxide and let out healthy oxygen in the air. Look for the indoor variety that gives out more oxygen. What’s more, plants also keep the home cool; so you may not even need to switch on the AC.
