Remove weeds from flower beds (as needed)


Monthly
Replace air conditioning filter
Clean garbage disposal with baking soda, vinegar, and lemon
Dust (even the hard to reach places)
Clean the range hood and oven
Visually inspect the outside of the home and look for any damaged siding, loose shingles, etc.

Annually

Clean gutters
Replace batteries in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Have a HVAC professional inspect your A/C and heating system
Check your roof, shingles, flashing, and vents for damage
Clean and organize your garage (if you have one)

Make on upgrade that can increase your home's value (e.g. new light fixtures, updated counter tops, etc.)
