Tips To Maintain A Safe Home

Clean up clutter

If you have the habit of stacking things on your stairs or in your hallways, it is time to make sure all the places where you walk every day and every night are clutter-free. Adequate lighting is a must to avoid falling.

Avoid throw rugs

As attractive as throw rugs are, they are a danger for tripping or sliding. Either avoid them completely or use double-sided tape to attach them to the floor.

Extension cords

Don’t run extension cords across areas where you walk, keep them close to the wall or don’t use them. If you must run them, cover them with duct tape. 

Poison

Medicine should be stirred out of the reach of children and pets. The same goes for any poisonous chemicals that you may use. 

Password your internet network

Keeping your personal information safe from hackers means not allowing outsiders to hack into your network. Choose a strong password, one that you don’t use anywhere else.

Make sure your smoke detector is working

If your detector is hardwired it should work without problems, but if the power is out it is important to make sure that your batteries are fresh so that the battery backup works. Check carbon monoxide detectors at the same time. 

Clean your chimney

Chimney fires are a danger if you use your fireplace. Hire a chimney cleaner every year.
