When to
check and
replace
When was the last time you replaced your
smoke detector or changed the water fi lter in
the refrigerator? 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.
