Weight loss. Money management. More time with family and less working overnight. Travel more. Get home repairs completed, and make home more comfortable. These are all common plans that people make for New Year’s resolutions. But there are 10 things that you may not think about fixing or cleaning that should be completed to have a safer, fresher new year.

Clear Your Dryer Ducts

According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2010-2014, there were approximately 15,970 home structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines each year. The primary reason those dryer fires started was due to dust, fiber or lint. By cleaning out the dryer vents and dryer ducts, this improves the heat functionality and significantly decreases the likelihood of an accidental fire.

Deep Clean Your Showerhead

Although some experts recommend replacing your showerhead every six months, if you’re really attached to the one you have, deep cleaning can help. It will remove potential clogs, improve the water pressure, and potentially reduce the likelihood of mildew and mold if you’re not regularly cleaning it already. If you find that a deep cleaning doesn’t improve your showerhead’s performance, it may be time to try something new though.

Initiate a Swedish Death Cleaning

According to LegalZoom, only 33% of U.S. adults have created estate planning documents. If a death occurred, friends and family (especially children of the family member) would be left scrambling to figure out locks to combinations, where wills are (if there are any at all), and who to give which belongings to if not directly to each other. A Swedish death cleaning forces everybody to get rid of junk and focus on what’s important. Additionally, it’s as good of a time as any to plan for an emergency. Contact an attorney to start writing a will, complete estate planning, clarify investments and residual earnings, revisit beneficiaries on 401(k) and 403(b) plans, and update any other outdated documentation.

Check Door Frames

Unless there’s something wrong with the door, people may not often check door frames. They open and close the door, not paying attention to all the dust, grime and dirt buildup that happens throughout the seasons. A swipe with a microfiber cloth will let you know exactly how much you’ve been ignoring. For screen doors and squeaky hinges, this is also a good time to correct rust and corrosion.

Wipe and Empty Water Containers

Similar to tea kettles and water pitchers, too often containers that just have water in them are overlooked as “clean.” Not so fast. Toothbrush holders, along with the other two, can attract grime and spotting along the bottom surface. Get in the habit of emptying leftover water from tea kettles and wiping toothbrush holders. Although water pitchers with filters have water in them, when the filter needs to be changed, make sure to wash the pitcher too instead of just replacing the filter and sticking it back in the fridge.

Clean Remote Controls

After a long day at work or a celebratory weekend, homeowners and guests will grab big, buttery bowls of popcorn, chips and sloppy sandwiches while watching television. After plenty of finger licking and smacking, that remote is riddled with germs. Washing or disinfecting hands in between bites is rare. And it may be just as rare with no food at all. Get in the habit of wiping a remote control with a microfiber cloth on a weekly basis.

Disinfect Electronics

From the television screen to the computer monitor and the mouse pad to your smartphone, grab a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe it down. If there are sticky or messy stains, turn off and unplug the electronics. Then, use damp screen-cleaning wipes that already have the necessary solution on them. (Distilled water is another option, but be careful about accidentally drenching the wipe.)

Wash and Wipe Curtains and Blinds

Depending on the material, some curtains can go right in the electric washer. Spot stain cleaning and brushing also helps to keep curtains in like-new condition. To clean blinds, use a microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to get rid of dust. If specialized cleaners are needed, the new year is as good of a time as any to order it. Once it’s in your home, then there’s no excuse to not use it regularly.

Dust Off Ceiling Fans

With handle raisers, lock switches and heavy-duty microfiber cloth, dusting a ceiling fan is fairly easy to do. The problem is ceiling fans get ignored because it’s easy to think since the blades are swirling around then no dust can get on them. And in the wintertime, a low-speed ceiling fan can help heat circulate better.

Clean Baseboard Heater Covers

For condo owners and other multi-unit housing, the heat is usually controlled by maintenance or a condo board instead of individual heating. If you live in a unit where you control the heat, make sure to turn it off before cleaning baseboard heater covers. If you live in a unit where you do not control the heat, try to clean the baseboard heater covers before the heat kicks in. Remove the cover, and vacuum dust and debris. (A soft brush also works.) If needed, use a damp cloth for stained areas. You can also clean baseboards that are away from the heat the same way.

Of course, while you’re cleaning on New Year’s Day and crossing off this list of 10, feel free to do the obvious mopping, sweeping, dusting and polishing of other areas too. The sooner you can get these done, the quicker it will be for you to move on to the rest of your New Year’s resolution list.
