Ramadan is a peaceful month. But when it comes to the squeaky door or unpleasant fridge sounds, action must be taken before Eid, and before even thinking about hanging any sort of Eid decorations. To help you prepare for the coming Eid al-Fitr, We have put together useful tips on how to repair your home items on your own without any professional help as well as DIY Eid decorations ideas for your beautiful house.
Home repairs for Eid decorations
Clean the fridge to reduce the smell
To start with, head straight to the kitchen and make sure you clean the dirty coils behind or underneath the fridge before dirt restricts the airflow and makes the fridge work harder. Make sure you do it once in a while to cut down energy costs and increase the appliance’s performance. Get rid of old products that are stored in the fridge to maximize airflow in the appliance.
You can follow these steps to make sure the fridge is clean:
- Clean out all rotten and expired foods and juices.
- Check on top, bottom, and sides, as well as behind the fridge, and make sure to clean it well.
- Be careful not to get electrocuted, make sure to take the plug out before you clean it.
Fix squeaky door sounds
If you opt for a simple solution to get rid of a squeaky door sound, apply a tiny bit of olive oil onto the hinge of the door. Just make sure to remove any dust from the surface before applying oil to avoid unpleasant odors. If spraying oil right onto the hinge of the door does not help, try a bar of soap to fix this problem. Remove the hinge out of the door, then remove the hinge pin out of it. Rub the hinge pin with a bar of soap and replace the hinge in the door after placing the hinge pin back.
Get rid of the carpet strands
Tiny things around the house must be fixed too. If your carpet is full of strands that stick up higher than the rest of the floor, they need to be cut down to avoid the vacuum cleaner catching one. Make sure not to pull them out because they might untangle and leave a run across the carpet.
Fix water hoses
check your washing machine hoses. Old, unchecked hoses can cause serious damages to your house, and cracks and leaks at the connection point of the hoses are often the main cause. Replace the old hose with the one made from braided stainless steel.
Re-check all of your house Air conditioners
Air conditioners need a lot of maintenance, make sure you clean everything to not dispute smelly air as well as check out that the pipes are well cleaned and working properly to heat or provide cold air to the room as needed.
