Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some home maintenance tips for fall?(27)



Michael Petruccelli says;   Paint interior rooms while it's still warm enough to leave windows open. The same applies for shampooing or replacing carpets.

Clean and vacuum dust from vents, baseboard heaters and cold-air returns. Dust build-up in ducts is a major cause of indoor pollutants and can increase incidences of cold-weather illnesses. Consider hiring a pro to clean hard-to-reach duct work.
