5 Ways to Turn Your Home Safer and Healthier

​Your home is your refuge. It's where you go to feel safe, to relax and have fun. Unfortunately, houses are not immune to health hazards like molds or bugs. Accidents can also happen inside your home. Luckily, there were ways to make your home safer and healthier. Here are five of them: 
  1. Clean and Declutter Regularly
    House cleaning is a chore a lot of people avoid, but keeping your home clean and free of clutter will keep your family safe and healthy. Regular cleaning will prevent dirt and germs from accumulating. Decluttering can also prevent accidents and goes a long way in keeping a home pleasant and comfortable.

  2. Make Your Home Fireproof
    Place a smoke alarm in every room and on every floor of your home, including the basement. Test these alarms regularly. You should also buy a fire extinguisher and keep it within easy reach. Check it regularly to ensure that it's working properly. A fire blanket and buckets are also good to have at hand.

  3. Keep Bugs and Pests Away
    Bed bugs, mosquitoes, and cockroaches bring germs while termites can destroy your home's walls and foundation. Hire a good pest exterminator or screens on windows and doors. Avoid leaving food out. Make sure you bathe your pets regularly. It will hopefully stop ticks and fleas from attaching themselves to your pet.

  4. Reduce the Risk of Falls
    Families with young children and senior members should take extra steps to prevent falls. You can reduce the odds of accidents by using non-skid mats in the bathroom and installing handrails or grab bars. Mop up spills at once and cut down on clutter. Avoid using throw rugs or make sure to secure them with double-sided tapes. Your home should be well-lighted too. Being able to see your way around will stop accidents.

  5. Protect Your Home from Burglars and Break-Ins
    Take advantage of technology and invest in a good security system. Window break alarms and motion sensor floodlights are also good investments. But do not make the error of putting up stickers that proclaim which security system you're using. Burglars might be able to find information on how to disable the system. There are also practical ways to discourage burglars, like getting a dog, not putting tall plants near doors or window and securing in-window air conditioners.
 
There are many ways to keep your house and family safe. Investing in a good insurance policy is also a good way to do this. At Insurance Services of the West, we aim to make our client's life easier with policies that are tailored to their needs.
