Mrs Fastidious: How to keep your house clean during the rainy season
It does rain just a little bit too much these days, doesn’t it? Humble housewives like us can’t do anything about that, especially when it rains so much the streets flood and traffic gets stuck. I guess it is up to the relevant authorities to handle those issues, but imagine the morning or the evening commute… Oops, I’ve already gone on too long about rain problems. Let’s stay focussed on what we as housewives can do, shall we?
Check the gutters and drains
Make sure your gutters and drains stay clear of fallen leaves and twigs. Check constantly to prevent the problem of clogged drains that can become a serious leakage problem later.
Keep outdoor surfaces clean
There seems to be dirt and grime on the floor after it rains, especially in outdoor areas that aren’t covered by a roof. It is best to get rid of the dirt as soon as it stops raining, or it will become hard to remove once it’s dried.
Trim your garden
During the rainy season, it is better to trim your garden, especially if you have big trees with branches that spread out. This is to reduce the risk of broken branches that can be dangerous to your house and family members in the case of storms or heavy rain.
Move your furniture
Outdoor furniture that sits in the garden is nice and all, but some just can’t withstand the test of rain and sun that well. Moving your beloved furniture indoors might be a great way to prevent it from crumbling into a state of disrepair before its time.
Check for leaks
Check whether your house is still in good shape, especially the roof and the walls that can leak without you noticing. Be vigilant to this problem, because during the rainy months, it can quickly deteriorate and turn into a bigger issue for you to deal with. Consult professionals immediately if you suspect you have a leak.
The rainy season makes us more cautious because something unexpected can always happen so be more vigilant of your house to keep your family safe.
