How often should you…

The rhythms a home runs on, answered properly. These are the same intervals RoofRoutine uses when it reminds a household, so nothing here contradicts the app.

How often should you descale a kettle?About every two months, monthly where the water is hard and every three where it is soft. How often should you change your bedsheets?Every one to two weeks. How often should you test a smoke alarm?Press the test button once a month. How often should you clean the washing machine?A hot maintenance wash once a month, and wipe the door seal and the detergent drawer at the same time. How often should you descale a coffee machine?Every one to three months, depending on the water and how much coffee you drink. How often should you wash towels?Bath towels after three uses, roughly weekly for one person. How often should you replace a toothbrush?Every three months, or as soon as the bristles splay. How often should you clean the dishwasher?Rinse the filter at the bottom once a month, and run a hot empty cycle with a cleaner every one to three months. How often should you vacuum?Once a week for a home without pets, twice for the rooms you actually live in. How often should you replace a kitchen sponge?Every week, and straight away if it smells. When should you change to winter tires?From October to Easter, the old rule of thumb.
