| | | | | No matter your age, homes can be accident and hazard zones if you don't take certain precautions. Keep reading for your monthly and yearly checklists of what to do around the house to make your space as safe as possible. After all, home safety checkups are hip (or so we're declaring). | | | | | | | Be well,

| |  | | | | Your super guide to home safety | | 💤 Bedroom to-do list: | - Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly by using the test button on each detector.
- Replace air filters every 2 months or even monthly if you have pets, allergies, or live with a smoker.
- Consider installing a door chime to alert you if a child or someone you care for wakes up in the middle of the night and leaves their room.
| | 🥑 Kitchen to-do list: | - Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. You may also want to have one along the route to each exit of your home.
- Buy a fire blanket to suffocate flames in case of a small fire or cooking emergency.
- Lock the under-sink cabinet or any other area where you store cleaning chemicals and other hazardous items to keep them out of reach for pets and children.
- Clean hood vent filters to reduce buildup above your stove and decrease the risk of a grease fire.
| | 🛁 Bathroom to-do list: | - Lock up medications and store them on high shelves where kids can't access them.
- Stock first aid kits. Consider other medical supplies for more serious injuries, if you live in a rural area or at a distance from your nearest hospital.
- Install grippy, nonslip shower mats to help prevent falls at any age.
