The Tools We Actually Use to Keep a Home WellKept
You know the feeling… you walk into a home that just feels… sturdy. The doors close quietly, the cabinet handles don’t wobble, the banister doesn’t shift as you climb the stairs. WellKept homes are quietly dependable, tended to season after season. This steadiness comes from small rituals: tightening a hinge, cleaning a vent, oiling a latch. The simple acts that keep a home feeling WellKept year after year.
While we’d love to come to every home for Seasonal Maintenance Care Plans, we know that isn’t always possible. We’re sharing the tools that make this kind of care manageable with minutes or less of effort. They’re not glamorous, but they’re the backbone of a WellKept home.
1.) Dryer Vent Cleaning Kit - <$10 to improve your machine’s drying power while also keeping your home safer. WellKept Advice - Clean your vent at least twice a year (Fall/Spring or Summer/Winter)
2.) Variety Cleaning Brushes - This pack really has a brush for any corner you’re trying to clean. Clearing debris from window tracks, shower drains, doors, etc not only help your home feel fresh, but optimizes the performance and longevity of the item
3.) Laser Level - We wish we had bought this years ago… if you’re semi sufficient with a nail and a hammer, and you have pictures to hang this tool is a game changer for a professional, polished finish to your project (and saves you time)
4.) WD-40 Pen - Like the Tide Pen for your squeaky hinges. From kids toys with wheels to cabinets and doors. Having WD40 in pen form makes this task nearly effortless.
5.) Lint Shaving Tool - You’ve felt or seen it. The dreaded pills making their way across your favorite blanket, couch or chair. A Lint Shaving tool makes quick work of these pesky pills.
6.) Large Room Air Purifier - We upgraded our air purifier after a heavy fire season last year, and haven’t looked back. This brand also came recommended to us by our pulmonologist
7.) Bedroom Air Purifier - We have these in nearly every room. With fire season, two dogs, allergies and asthma in our house we have filter replacements on auto delivery and these running year round.
