Changes are needed throughout the house during the changing seasons from spring to summer, autumn to winter. If not only clothes but also residential environment is not managed in time, various problems such as mold, dust, and pests can occur. In addition, seasonal management habits are essential because energy efficiency and safety can be reduced. In this article, we summarize the checkpoints of household care that must be taken care of when the season changes.
1. Cleaning windows and curtains
The first thing you should do when the seasons change is cleaning windows and curtains. Windows are representative places where external dust and fine dust accumulate, and curtains also contain a lot of dust in the air. Washing or replacing curtains season after season makes indoor air much more pleasant and helps prevent allergies. In particular, it is an essential check item before and after the period of yellow dust in spring or fine dust in autumn.
2. Ventilation and air purification
Indoor ventilation is more important during the seasonal transition. Since the outside air quality may not be good during the change of seasons, it is better to shorten ventilation in the morning or during the time when the air quality is good. Also, don't forget to replace or clean the air purifier filter. Adjusting humidity and airflow through ventilation can prevent mold development.
3. Replacing and maintaining bedding
When the season changes, bedding should be replaced according to the temperature change. If you store thick winter blankets after washing, and change them to light and airy blankets, the environment for a good night's sleep will be improved. At this time, cleaning the bed mattress can also reduce house dust mites and allergy-causing factors. It is effective to use a vacuum cleaner and a dedicated mattress cleaner.
4. Organizing Closets and Keeping Seasonal Clothes
A closet is a space that must be organized when the seasons change. Unused clothes must be donated or recycled, and clothes to be stored must be washed and dried to prevent mold or bug damage. If you put a dehumidifying agent or insect repellent in your closet, you can keep your clothes in good condition even when stored for a long time.
5. kitchen inspection and cleaning
The kitchen is a space where hygiene management is particularly important when the seasons change. Gas ranges, hood filters, and sink drains should be cleaned, and food that has passed the expiration date in the refrigerator should be cleaned boldly. In summer, bugs caused by food waste and dust generated in dry environments in winter are problematic, so seasonal cleaning is necessary.
6. Inspection of heating and cooling equipment
Before using equipment such as air conditioning in summer and boilers in winter, it must be checked. Cleaning the air conditioner filter and outdoor unit is essential, and the boiler is safe only after professional inspection. If you do an inspection before the season changes, you can reduce the inconvenience of sudden breakdowns.
7. Fire and Safety Management
Safety checks are also needed because the use patterns of electrical products change during the seasonal transition. It is necessary to check that the wire sheath is not peeled off and that the multi-tab is not overloaded. Especially in winter, the risk of fire increases due to the use of heating devices such as electric heaters and electric pads, so it is better to prepare in advance.
8. Bathroom and drain cleanliness
During the season when humidity increases, bathroom fungi reproduce easily. Cleaning the ventilator and regularly managing the drain can prevent mold and odor. In addition, replacing the drain filter and periodically running hot water is effective in maintaining cleanliness.
9. the veranda and the front hall
The veranda and porch are spaces where seasonal goods are frequently replaced. If you secure space while organizing seasonal items such as snow removal tools in winter and fans and windbreakers in summer, you can use it efficiently. Washing the front mat and ventilating the shoe cabinet will also help improve the air quality in the house.
The habit of organizing and managing the house when the seasons change is the basis for protecting the quality of life and health beyond simple cleaning. Small practices such as window and curtain washing, changing bedding, cleaning kitchen and bathroom, and checking air conditioning devices create a pleasant and safe environment. In the turn of the season, let's take this opportunity to check the house carefully and welcome the new season lightly and refreshingly.
