- Clean your wooden furniture with a dry cloth, do not clean it with a wet cloth as you may in other seasons, as the moisture around can further dampen and spoil your wooden furniture.
- Roll the carpets away during this season as the wet floors take longer to dry and may spoil your beautiful carpets if they’re spread on the floor.
- Use a disinfectant based floor cleaner every time you clean the floor as bugs and insects are common in this season.
- Keep your drainage system/pipes clean, food particles may get stuck and given the weather excessive water may get stuck too. Clean it every week to prevent foul smell and breeding of insects.
- If you have unattended, loose or faulty wires at home make sure you fix them before the rains kick in, as an electrical failure may lead to short circuit.
- Check your house thoroughly for leaks, holes or cracks as water may seep in through these and create spots and mold formations.
- Most wooden doors swell up during monsoon, use sandpaper to even the surface. The same method can also be used for drawers and cabinets.
- Paint the grill and railings of your homes before the rains in order to avoid rusting and corrosion.
- Moisture and dampness are prevalent during monsoon. Use dehumidifiers or turn on the AC occasionally to get rid of the excess moisture.
- Keep tarpaulin sheets handy if you have big windows or wide balconies. You can cover them and prevent water from coming in and also cover the wooden panes.
