I’m a cleaning pro – four easy jobs to do now to prepare your home for fall, they’ll save you money in the long run
A CLEANING pro has revealed four easy tips that will get your home ready for autumn.
The simple tasks could save you money down the road, they said.
The TikTok account for Cloth + Bristle (@cloth.bristle), a natural cleaning product company, shared their “fall home reminders.”
The first hack in the TikTok video is to drain the outdoor faucets so they don’t freeze once the weather changes.
The next tip they shared is to change the HVAC filters.
As a side note, they should be changed every 30 days or less, according to Home Depot.
Cloth + Bristle’s third suggestion is to bring outside furniture inside and sweep the patio.
Lastly, don’t forget to change your fire alarm batteries.
Alarm batteries should be changed once a year, per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Cloth + Bristle’s video garnered 1million views, nearly 75,000 likes, and 7,000 saves.
Some people in the comments section agreed that they shared a very important tip.
“Thank you for posting about your fire alarm batteries. I tell people every fall and they think I’m crazy,” one person wrote.
“That last one though. CHANGE THOSE BATTERIES. It could make the difference in life and death,” a second person agreed.
Others were happy that the cleaning company talked about draining the outdoor faucets.
“Major emphasis on the outdoor faucet, previous owners of my home left it last winter, it cracked pipe and we got water in our foundation,” a viewer emphasized.
“I live in Minnesota and just found out about draining the faucets last year. Turns out I’ve been extremely lucky,” a fourth viewer commented.
