The comprehensive list if you love your home and see yourself enjoying your daily life there🩷 A properly maintained home definitely helped in the selling process after 5 years in our 1st home, you’ll be shocked to know how run down some BTOs look on the inside after just 5 years.

Let’s take good care of our homes:

• Fire extinguisher (fire safety is becoming increasingly urgent!) – https://s.shopee.sg/9UzbVRYm7P

• Washing machine cleaner (I like doing this every 2-3 months) – https://s.shopee.sg/40eexMbJ3g

• Drain cleaner (to prevent clog & odours, I like doing this every quarter) – https://s.shopee.sg/5VTSkXygtY (Tried the active foam spray version and didn’t find it effective, I’ll stick to this one)

• Stain removers

  • Non-toxic cream that works on cookware, bathroom surfaces, oven/microwave cleaning, etc – https://s.shopee.sg/LlMadK8Es (I also tried the powder version but didn’t find it as effective)

  • Spray version for soft furniture – https://s.shopee.sg/8AUDv6ohht (bleach-free)

• Mold remover – https://s.shopee.sg/1qaANQofRY

• DIY silicone lining – https://s.shopee.sg/5VTSkFCgtX

  • Honestly, this works so so well. Takes a bit of work but super worth it! It’s seriously mold-free and did not deteriorate one bit after 3 years. The one my carpenter did for me (TWICE) always tore & separated.

• Aircon cleaning spray (my aircon uncle always recommends this, he said to do it once a month and don’t call him unless our aircon leaks or not cold lol) – https://s.shopee.sg/3LOyAHal6b

• Ant gel (Super effective that I only used less than 1 in 5.5 years) – https://s.shopee.sg/4fuLko7fGX

• Roach killer (THE BEST. I mean traditional sprays always leave a residue, this doesn’t) – https://s.shopee.sg/6Aj9XVuR3C

• Fridge deodoriser (I like recommending this because it lasts up to 2 years. The other types seem to need replacements after just a few months) – https://s.shopee.sg/9fJ1i1XBZU

• Dehumidifier (Our homes really need this in humid Singapore):

  • Small appliance you can use long-term – https://s.shopee.sg/4qDlxFQ0HM

  • Packs for wardrobe & cabinets – https://s.shopee.sg/6VLzwHG4Bs

• Air purifier (indoor air quality can be very unhealthy, esp if its a new home with new renovation & furniture. If you cook a lot, having an air purifier will really help)

  • I turn this on when cooking – https://s.shopee.sg/7VEX8BekqA

  • My dehumidifier is also an air purifier (same link as above!)
