There’s plenty out there on how to keep the outside of your manufactured home maintained. From roof coating, to checking to see if the home is level – you’re encouraged to protect the outside of your home.
So why not do the same with the interior? Let’s look at things you can do to keep the inside of your home in great shape, too.
Bust the dust Dust can happen on your vinyl over gypsum covered walls like clockwork. Keep those walls fresh with a wipe down every month or so. Check your ceiling fan blades, air filter returns (if accessible) and corners for dust plus cobwebs as well.
Protect those floors Vinyl flooring can be impacted most by water and indentions. Keep them safe by always mopping/wiping up after spills. Also, check appliances for leaks and deal with them immediately. To avoid scuffs, put soft felt rounds on the legs of furniture. Rugs can also help preserve your floors.
Keep your lighting eco-friendly Lose those old bulbs and swap them out for some more energy efficient ones. You’ll pay more on the front end but it’s worth it, and they won’t get as hot as those others.
Change the position of your furniture. Don’t leave your couch in the same place for five years. Welcome a little change and relieve your floors as well. This is a great way to keep carpet from getting permanent indentions.
Protect pipes Especially in the winter. Open cabinet doors so warm air can reach pipes at night, leave water dripping slightly and keep thermostat level. No burst pipes make for a happy home!
Change your air filters monthly. This gives you clean air and helps your system stay clean as well.
Clean vent hood over oven Wipe it down every now and then or take it down and soak it for an easy clean. You might even try popping it in your dishwasher.
