Home Maintenance Tips | June 2025
Summer is officially here, and June is the perfect time to tackle some light home maintenance before the busy season hits full swing. These simple, worthwhile tasks can help you keep your home running smoothly and avoid bigger issues down the road. From prepping your grill to checking for leaks, a little effort now goes a long way. Here are 10 easy maintenance tips to keep your home in great shape this month.
Switch Ceiling Fans to Counterclockwise
Set ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise to push air down and create a cooling breeze for summer.
2. Flush Drains with Baking Soda and Vinegar
Prevent clogs by pouring ½ cup of baking soda followed by ½ cup vinegar down the drain. Let sit, then flush with boiling water.
3. Test Outdoor Lighting and Replace Bulbs
Longer evenings mean more backyard time—make sure porch lights, path lights, and motion sensors are working properly.
4. Check and Clean Dryer Vents
A quick clean-out of lint traps and external vents can prevent fire hazards and improve efficiency.
5. Update First Aid Kit and Emergency Supplies
Make sure bandages, medications, and flashlight batteries are stocked and up to date.
6. Clean and Maintain Your Grill
Scrub the grates, empty the grease tray, and inspect connections for safe summer BBQs.
7. Inspect and Adjust Sprinkler Systems
Check for cracked heads, leaks, or misalignment so your lawn gets even coverage without wasting water.
Taking care of these tasks now will keep your home in great shape throughout the season.
