Keeping your home in tip-top shape doesn’t have to be difficult. Here’s a few handy hints to help make sure your house is a home to be proud of.

Regularly wipe down any windows affected by condensation. If any mould has built up, just clean it off using neat white vinegar or a wash of diluted bleach (one part bleach to ten parts water) and a little washing up liquid. Always wear gloves when handling bleach. If the mould has spread to the walls or ceiling then report this to us before it becomes a bigger problem.
Make sure you know how to turn off your electricity, gas and water supply in an emergency. If you don’t, just ask us next time we visit.
To easily prevent blockages in kitchen sink waste pipes, avoid pouring grease down the sink and remove food waste from the plug hole.
Use a descaler to remove any lime scale build up in your bathroom.
Keep outside gullies free of leaves and other obstacles so water can easily drain away.
