Clean your dishwasher filter.
Change your furnace air filter
Wipe the gasket on your laundry machines
This one got us the other day. My wife was panicking that the washer was leaking. Turns out never wiping the dog hair off the gasket cloggs the weeps holes and it starts to drip onto the floor
If equipped, clean out your detergent/softener dispensors. Most pop out, but some may need a screw or two removed.
Also, some washers have a sump filter that needs cleaning. (little panel at the bottom-left of the front on Samsungs)
I have a bi-monthly calendar reminder for the Samsung filter. 3 dogs means that thing is constantly packed with hair and we get the dreaded filter error code if it's not cleaned regularly.
More importantly, clean your dishwasher vent.
If you didn’t know it had a vent, enjoy cleaning out that mold.
Wait what
I just cleaned the filter last week (rental) and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for centuries
You're saying there's another thing in there that's just as dirty that I didn't clean??
Wat
Clean your dryer vent
Mine is literally under the deck. Along with a water spigot. I don't think they made the best choices building this deck...
Former deck owner here: Decks were another way for our forefuckers to waste our futures in the 80's.
Relatively lucky in this respect. The apartment where I live has a company do this twice a year so at most all I have to do is every month or so disconnect it from the vent hose and suck it out with a vacuum.
THAT you should be doing every time you use the dryer, dishwasher is once a month type of thing
Not the trap. The vent.
Just googled it, uh oh
How often?
Once per fire.
"Ever" would be a lot more often than most people.
You're not my mom, you can't tell me what to do.
Well I am a mom, so I've learned it's a lot less disgusting if you do it every month, but you don't have to listen to me.
I know it's gross, I do it often because I can see the difference in the cleanliness of the dishes.
I was just jesting.
Holy shit, if anyone ever does figure out how to predict my emotional cycles I want to hear about it.
I'm a guy, I'll sign up too
Anyone selling snake oil around here? Shut up and take my money
