Your Pre-Monsoon Safety Checklist

 The monsoon season brings a refreshing change after the scorching summer heat. The pitter-patter of raindrops and the earthy fragrance in the air create a cosy and romantic atmosphere. However, the arrival of the rainy season also brings its fair share of challenges, especially when it comes to maintaining a safe and fresh living environment. To help you embrace the freshness of the monsoon while ensuring the well-being of your home and loved ones, we have compiled the ultimate pre-monsoon safety checklist. 

As the monsoon season draws near, it's important to get your home ready to tackle the issues that come with more moisture and dampness. A clean and welcoming living space is essential for our well-being, even when it's raining outside.

1. Clean is the Basic Tip for Monsoon-Ready Home:

Maintaining cleanliness is fundamental to ensure a fresh and healthy living environment. Before the monsoon arrives, deep clean your home, paying attention to areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Regular cleaning prevents the growth of mold and mildew, keeping your home hygienic and pleasant throughout the season. Involve Microfiber cloth is an indispensable tool for maintaining cleanliness and managing the challenges of the monsoon season. Here's why it is crucial and how it can be effectively used:

1. Superior Absorption: Involve Microfiber cloths are renowned for their exceptional water absorption capabilities. This makes them highly effective in dealing with the increased moisture and dampness during the monsoon. They quickly soak up water from wet surfaces, preventing the formation of puddles and potential water damage.

2. Efficient Cleaning: The fine fibres of Involve microfiber cloths act like tiny hooks that effectively trap dust, dirt, and other particles. This makes them highly efficient in cleaning various surfaces, including windows, countertops, floors, and furniture. They can be used both dry and damp, depending on the cleaning task at hand.

3. Lint-Free and Streak-Free: One of the key advantages of Involve microfiber cloths is that they leave surfaces free from lint and streaks. This is particularly important during the monsoon season when windows and glass surfaces tend to get dirty quickly due to rain and moisture. Microfiber cloths provide a streak-free finish, leaving your windows and glass surfaces sparkling and clear.

4. Versatility: Involve Microfiber cloths are versatile and can be used throughout the house. From wiping down kitchen countertops and appliances to cleaning bathroom fixtures, they prove to be a handy cleaning tool. They are also gentle enough to use on delicate surfaces such as electronics and eyeglasses without causing any scratches.

     To effectively use microfiber cloths during the monsoon season, keep the following tips in mind:

     - Avoid using fabric softener or bleach when laundering microfiber cloths, as it can reduce their effectiveness.

     - Wash microfiber cloths separately from other laundry items to prevent lint transfer.

     - Follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, typically washing them in cold or warm water and air drying or using a low heat setting.

     - Replace microfiber cloths when they become worn or heavily soiled to maintain their cleaning efficiency.

2. Check the wiring for electrical safety

Inspecting your electrical connections is crucial to ensure safety during the monsoon season. Water leakage from the roof can easily reach concealed electrical conduits, posing a significant risk. If there is a history of leakage near any switchboards, it is important to address and repair the issue promptly. To eliminate the chances of electrical malfunctions such as shocks or short circuits, have an electrician check all electrical connections and switches for security. Additionally, consider installing a voltage regulator to further safeguard your electrical system. When not in use, it is always advisable to unplug any chargers or appliances to minimize the risk of electrical accidents.

3. Rainproof your doors and windows

Doors and windows are prime entry points for rainwater if not properly protected. It is recommended to take certain precautions based on the material of your doors and windows. If you have metal-framed doors and windows, consider painting them before the rainy season to prevent rusting. On the other hand, wooden frames have a tendency to swell due to the high moisture content in the air. In case of jammed wooden frames, you can use sandpaper to scrape off the problematic areas or seek assistance from a carpenter for proper repairs.

To ensure maximum protection from rainwater, add rubber gaskets at the base of your main and balcony doors. This will effectively prevent water from seeping into your home. Additionally, it is important to seal any gaps between walls, doors, and windows with silicone or foam sealants. Once the rainy season has begun, make it a habit to keep your windows and doors closed to prevent rainwater and insects from finding their way inside.

4. Using Air Fresheners 

During the Monsoon season, it's not uncommon for our homes to develop a distinct musty smell due to increased humidity and dampness. To combat these unpleasant odours and create a more pleasant living environment, air fresheners are an excellent addition to your cleaning routine. With their vast range of delightful fragrances, air fresheners work wonders in revitalizing your home's atmosphere.

By simply placing air fresheners strategically throughout your home, you can effectively eliminate unwanted smells and replace them with inviting scents that uplift your mood. Whether you prefer the fresh scent of Involve Elements Aqua, the calming aroma of Involve Rainforest lavender, or the cozy fragrance of Involve Rainforest Apricot Vanilla, there's an air freshener to suit every preference.

Not only do air fresheners mask unpleasant odours, but they also contribute to a welcoming and rejuvenating ambience. Stepping into a space that smells clean and refreshing can have a positive impact on your well-being and create a sense of comfort for both you and your guests. With air fresheners, you can ensure that your home remains a fragrant oasis even during the Monsoon season, making it a place you can truly relax and enjoy
