Monsoons
are loved by all. But it cannot be denied that the stiff downpour
brings a lot troubles along. Think about the damage that a strong spell
of rain can do to your much-loved home.
The
dampness, musty stink, leakages, fungus, mould and rusting are enough
to transform your beloved den into an awful nightmare.
Devika Pragati Group
has come up with a few ideas for your home to look fresh and clean even
during monsoons. So if you do not want heavy rainstorm to harm your
property in any way, the following tips are for you:
- Protect the wooden furniture & floor
The
moisture during monsoons can make wooden doors, windows, drawers and
cupboards swell and stink. To get rid of swelling, oil the hinges, rub
sandpaper and varnish the wooden furniture again. Use camphor, need
leaves or cloves in cabinets to protect clothes from insects and damp
smell. Also, high moisture content can make hardwood floors warp.
Therefore, do not forget to wax the wooden floors properly before the
onset of rainy season.
- Make exterior & interior walls waterproof
Use
specially-formulated waterproof and moisture-resistant protection base
on the walls. Top it with multiple coats of weather-proof paint. This
will repair all cracks and block the tiny pores so as to keep moisture
away.
- Ventilation is important
Cross-ventilation
plays a vital role in keeping the home airy and odor-free. It will keep
the humidity levels in control and will not create dampness in the
surroundings.
- Save your carpets & rugs
Clean
carpets and rugs regularly with a vacuum cleaner to prohibit seepage of
moisture into the fibers. You could use a fragrant carpet cleaner to
get rid of the damp smell. The best way to protect them in monsoons is
to actually roll them up using polyethylene/plastic sheets. Use acrylic
carpets and bamboo mats instead.
- Dodge rusting of grills and rods
The
simplest way of battling corrosion of iron frames, rods or grills
during monsoon season is to paint them afresh. Make sure all the gaps in
tiles and metal doors are properly filled and sealed.
- Insulate electrical wiring
The
danger of electric failures and shocks shoots higher in monsoon season.
Make sure there is no water leakage around electrical transformers,
motors, generators and boards. Also, insulate power distribution lines
properly to avoid hazardous situations.
- Clean the garage
Repair
roof leakages and water drainage system in the garage even before the
onset of rains. Restrict rain water from entering into the garage to
protect your vehicles and to avoid foul smell.
- Pest control
High
humidity can cause termite infestation. For this, you could take
professional help and get the entire house pest controlled.
