Monthly Maintenance Projects
These projects should be undertaken every month, or at least every few months:
1. Check to be certain nothing flammable is near a source of flame, such as a water heater pilot light, gas range or furnace, etc.
2. Check fire extinguishers. Replace or have serviced those that need it.
3-4. Check the operations of all electrical circuit breakers by turning each off and on. Do the same with ground fault circuit interrupters, usually found in bathrooms, kitchen, garage and outdoor outlets. Replace those that don’t work properly.
5. Clean garbage disposal by grinding up two trays of ice cubes made from a mixture of 1 cup white vinegar to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water.
