February Home Maintenance 2026
A little effort now can save you time, money, and stress later.
February is a great month to tackle a few simple home tasks while we’re still spending more time indoors.
Check caulking around showers, tubs, and sinks
Winter temps can cause caulk to crack or pull away. Taking care of it now helps prevent water damage and keeps bathrooms looking clean and well maintained.
Pull out appliances and clean behind them
Out of sight usually means out of mind. A quick clean behind appliances helps them run better and keeps dust and crumbs from building up.
Touch up interior walls and doors
This is the perfect time to fix scuffs and dings from winter wear and tear. Fresh paint touch ups make your home feel instantly cleaner.
Start planning for a spring or summer home sale
If a move is on your mind this year, now is the time to start planning. Early prep gives you more options and less stress when the market heats up.
Go through your deep freezer and cook up food to restock it
Before buying more, take inventory of what you already have. It’s a great way to save money and make room for fresh meals.
Dust blinds and curtains
These collect more dust than we realize during the winter. Giving them some attention can make your home feel brighter and fresher.
Declutter paperwork and get ready for tax season
Sorting through paperwork now makes tax time much easier. You’ll feel so much better once it’s organized and out of the way.
If you ever need recommendations, reminders, or guidance on home projects, I am always happy to be a resource.
Cheers to a great February ahead! a
