Hyderabad: Home maintenance involves a lot of structural, fixture and fitting work. Its purpose is to ensure that your home is safe which includes home maintenance on a daily basis and during and after emergencies.

protect the walls of the house
Monsoon is synonymous with stale odor and walls become prone to mold growth, which can further increase the odor. In such cases, all one can do is scrape off the mold and apply a mixture of bleach and water to mop up the mold. Bleach acts as a cleaning agent and disinfectant.
lock maintenance
Monsoon brings many changes, climatically it spoils the door locks and in that case, you can always use a concentrated spray available in the market which not only protects the locks but also the inner parts of the lock. Also cleans. Try to avoid using gel, oil and lubricants during monsoon.
furniture safety
Most Indian homes have wooden and leather furniture and the moisture and humidity in the air can ruin it. To protect your furniture, be sure to keep it away from doors and windows. This is the worst time to redesign your home and the best way to avoid humidity in the air is to keep camphor tablets and neem leaves in the cupboard.
door security
Wooden doors have a tendency to expand as moisture content increases. Use sandpaper frequently to clean the part of the door that gets stuck when you close it. Metal framed doors/windows can easily rust due to moisture and use paint on doors and windows regularly to prevent rusting.
check windows
Windows in our homes are most affected by rain and if not maintained properly it can lead to water leakage which can destroy things at once. Hinges are the most neglected part. Make sure that the hinges of your windows are fixed properly in one place as they play an important role in preventing water leakage.
indoor environment
To ensure your home feels fresh and welcoming, keep it airy. Open windows and doors whenever possible to let in fresh air and natural light. Make maximum use of artificial light to give your home a fresh and cheerful look.
leakage prevention
It is very important to detect leakage in time so that rain water does not cause any damage to the walls and ceiling. Usually, the main cause of leakage is cracks which weaken the wall and become a breeding ground for fungal growth.
