1. Inspect The Lighting

There are probably a few light fittings in the house where the bulbs blew months ago and you haven’t bothered to change them yet. The festive season is the perfect time. While you are at it, take the opportunity to swap old bulbs for LED lamps.

2. Check Your Appliances

If you are entertaining during the holidays, you had better make sure that all the essential appliances are up and running: the oven, the kitchen fridge, bar fridge, deep freeze. Check that everything is in good working order. Ensure that all appliances are nice and clean too.

3. Repair Or Replace Your Ceiling Fans

South African’s are blessed with beautiful, hot summer Christmases. However, with the wonderful weather comes a lot of heat and humidity – especially if you live along the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Make sure you can keep the house cool these holidays by inspecting all your ceiling fans. Repair them if necessary and perhaps treat yourself to a Christmas gift of one or two new fans. If you don’t have ceiling fans, this is an excellent time to have some installed.

4. Make Room for Guests

Make your guests feel extra welcome by taking the time to clean up your guest room. Whether you will have guests for a week or two, or just need a spare bed for those nights when your visitors have indulged in a little too much Xmas cheer, it is always great to have a comfortable, welcoming space prepared for them.
