Most homeowners replace the items on a regular basis. But it’s easy to forget, so here is some advice. Smoke detectors Humidifi ers and dehumidifi ers According to the National Fire Protection Association, all smoke detectors come with expiration dates. You’re alerted by a noise or blinking light when the batteries need to be replaced, but you’d be forgiven if you don’t remember the last time you replaced the unit. Th e standard recommendation is to replace them at least every decade, since sensors begin to lose sensitivity aft er that. Humidifi ers and dehumidifi ers are growing in popularity, especially with people who suff er from various breathing conditions. Th ey make sleeping and general conditions in your home more tolerable. But they also have fi lters and build up mildew, mold and dust over time. Check and replace them frequently. Fire extinguishers Every home should have at least one fi re extinguisher. Th is is especially true if you have a fi replace or gas stove. Refrigerator water fi lters Newer fi re extinguishers are rechargeable and can last up to six years. Disposable models last twice as long. Each comes with a tag or warning with an expiration date. To be safe, check them monthly to ensure pressure gauges are in good working order and rechargeable models are fully charged. Many other items in your home need frequent or occasional inspection. Pillows, toilet brushes, toothbrushes, shower loofahs and mattresses, just to name a few. Once you begin inspecting one item, you’ll usually go on a binge. And that’s a smart obsession. When you’re using a jug or other water dispenser with a fi lter it’s easier to remember to change the fi lter than it is to do the same for the fi lter in your refrigerator’s built-in water dispenser. It’s easy to forget there’s a fi lter in there, too, where a lot of bacteria and chemicals can build up. Keep a chart on your fridge reminding you to change the fi lter every six months, experts recommend. First-aid kits You don’t think about fi rst-aid kits until an emergency strikes. But even a minor emergency — a fi nger slice from a knife or an oven burn — can cause you to consider how old your kit is. Most experts recommend examining your kit at least once a year. Summer is prime time for cuts, burns and bites, so it’s a good half-year point to check it and update or replace them. Kitchen sponges You probably pay more attention to the cleanliness of your kitchen and bathroom than any other room in your home. But somehow, sponges — breeding grounds for bacteria — are oft en forgotten in sweeps of the kitchen. Depending on how much you use them, replace sponges frequently. Th ey’re relatively cheap and most people keep a stockpile. Another option is to sanitize them in white vinegar or put them in the dishwasher. 2020 BROKER OF THE YEAR AUDREY COOK!
