MAINTENANCE ISSUES CONTINUED
|
Clogs - If the
clog is caused by normal use, then you need to call a plumber
and deal with it. On rare occasion there might be old tree roots
that have infiltrated the plumbing lines. In that case, it would
be the owners responsibility to keep the pipes open.
|
Dishwashers - Many people are not in the habit of using a dishwasher...
they like to do dishes by hand. That is well and good except
that dishwashers have seals that can dry out and crack if the
dishwashers are not used. Consequently, if you prefer to do
dishes by hand, then you will need to run a cycle through the
dishwasher once a week to keep the seals from leaking. Otherwise,
when they dry out, you'll have a repair bill to deal with.
|
Other Maintenance Issues - Below is a list of common household items that can be used
to clean and maintain the property.
|
- Remove grass and dye stains with rubbing alcohol instead
of spot remover.
- Use aluminum foil around doorknobs when painting to avoid
drips.
- Remove old wax from a floor before re-waxing by mopping
with a solution of 3 parts water to 1 part rubbing alcohol.
- Remove rust spots from car bumpers by rubbing with crumpled
aluminum foil dipped in cola.
- To save cleanup time on a paint job that will take several
days, wrap brushes in foil and pop them in the freezer.
Defrost for about 1 hour before getting back to work.
- Use rubbing alcohol as a handy cleaner for the silicone
caulking around bathroom tubs. It also shines chrome.
- To prevent staining a carpet when shampooing, place pieces
of aluminum foil under the feet of furniture that cannot
be moved.
- Wash away baked on grease by first soaking the oven shelves
overnight in ammonia. Pour the ammonia into a large, heavy-duty
bag, insert the shelves and seal the bag.
- Rub baby oil gently into white rings and spots on wood.
It may remove them.
- Clean an oven with ammonia by warming the oven, turn it
off, then set a small bowl of ammonia in the closed oven
overnight. Wipe off oven walls and floor the next day.
- Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine will take the paint
spots out of material, no matter how long the paint has
been dry. Saturate the spot several times then wash with
warm soap suds.
- To get rid of shower door scum and build-up, apply baby
oil on a moist cloth once a week.
- Blot a coffee spill on a rug with baby wipes. This will
absorb the coffee without leaving a stain.
- Remove stains from chrome trim on kitchen appliances and
faucets with baby oil, applied with a soft cloth. Polish
with another clean, soft cloth.
