With so many items on your monthly homeowner checklist, it can be easy to forget about cleaning your bathroom exhaust fan — really, how often do we look at it? However, it is essential to keep it clean because it removes moisture and prevents mold and mildew growth, and keeping it clean will ensure that it functions correctly (saving you money on your monthly electricity bill!). August is also a great time to clean out your closet and donate any old or unwanted clothes, as most people are shopping for back-to-school outfits, or switching out clothes for the change in seasons.  


Here it is - your monthly homeowner checklist.


  • Professionally Deep Clean Carpets, Rugs, Floors … and Upholstered Furniture!

  • Check Crawl Spaces And/Or Attic For Leaks or Structural Issues

  • Organize Your Kitchen and Clean Out Refrigerator

  • Clean Garbage Disposal

  • Replace HVAC Filter

  • Clean and Maintain Bathroom Vent Fan

  • Clean Out & Organize Closets (And Donate Clothes / Shoes to Kids Shopping for Back-To-School) 


Save this post for later and pick 1 or 2 off the list every weekend! What are you tackling first?


Happy Homeownership!
