Home Winterization Check List

Home Winterization Check List.

cloud and snowflake

•1. Make sure furnace is in working order and clean/change filters.

•2. Check the outside of your home for any cold air entry points. Check for cracks in the foundation and make sure it is sealed where pipes go into the home.

•3. Check windows and doors for gaps when closed. Apply new weather stripping if necessary.

•4. Inspect roof; make sure there aren't any missing shingles or places for water to leak in.

•5. Clean and inspect gutters and down spouts. When the snow melts you don't want water left on your walkways to freeze due to clogged gutters.

•6. Buy ice/snow melt.

•7. Clean and put away all summer yard equipment. Clean and store gardening equipment and drain the gas from your lawn mower.

•8. Make sure all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order. Purchase and install smoke detectors if you don't have them in every bedroom.

•9. Drain swamp cooler water line.

•10. Winterize sprinklers by draining water out of the line; you don't want any pipes freezing.

•11. Have your fireplace inspected and cleaned. Make sure there are no gaps between the bricks in the fireplace, flames find a way through those cracks and can catch your wall on fire. Check flue to make sure it is clear (no birds' nests, etc.).

Is my dishwasher broken?

I noticed none of my dishes seemed to be getting cleaned and all had this white film on them. The repair man came out, he cleaned the dishwasher and said the dishwasher should continue working for 2-3 years.

The dishes cleaned for a week and then started getting a film on them again, I had decided I was going to need a new dishwasher. Then KSL news had a story that opened my eyes. I don't need a new dishwasher, it was the soap.



In 2008 Utah legislators passed a bill that would require all dishwasher soap sold in Utah to be phosphate free as of July 1, 2010. (Read the article at http://www.ksl.com/?nid=172&sid=12598586).



I started adding 1 cup of vinegar to all my dish loads and after a few loads all my dishes are clean again, no more white stuff on my dishes.

I started to tell everyone, a lot of people I had talked to had called repair men too being told the dishwasher just needed cleaning. Some people had already bought a new dishwasher.

The phosphate was the "work horse" of the dishwasher detergent, so without phosphate the dishes just don't get as clean.

I decided to do all I could to keep others from buying new dishwashers or calling repair men, since it is probably not your dishwasher with the problem, it's the soap.
