Inanimate objects: Perfect service providers (part 2)
Today presentation is the most important aspect of impressions and opinions. No personality development course can teach you how to maintain the appearance of your surroundings. Here are some pointers on making your home an extension of your person.
• ENSURING CLOTHES and accessories are cared for properly and we do not look shabby is a very important part of our image. Even the most expensive items will look tacky if they are not maintained well. Investing in good quality wooden or padded hangers is essential to keep your clothes looking their best. Using cheap wire ones given away with dry cleaning will not support your clothes well and could leave ugly hanger marks which will ruin any outfit.
 
Every night before you put your clothes away, be disciplined and check if they need mending or are dirty and need laundering. Before being returned to the cupboard, jackets should be left out for at least 24 hours to enable them to breathe. This also applies to any garments made of natural materials such as silk, wool or linen. Any items of clothing that cannot be hung up should always be folded carefully to avoid ironing. Sweaters, cardigans and t-shirts are best folded to avoid hanger marks and kept on shelves or in drawers.


• A refrigerator is one of the biggest consumers of energy at home. Improve your refrigerator's overall efficiency thereby saving money and energy. The refrigerator has to be kept clean. It is good to clean the refrigerator at least once a month with a vacuum cleaner or cleaning cloth. The products in the refrigerator need to be removed so that a thorough cleaning is done.

 
The crispers where the meat and vegetables are stored need to be removed and emptied every month. They need to be washed with soap and water. Most modern refrigerators use ducts and small fans to force the cooled air to circulate inside. It stands to reason that the ducts are not blocked and you leave adequate space around food contents for the air circulation. In the event of poor circulation of air, or if the fans fail (you can hear them whirring. The compressor which pumps the refrigerant makes a slight drone sound), you will have hot regions across the refrigerator. The frost free type of refrigerators have forced air circulation to keep the internal compartments at the intended temperature. They have bush bearings and wear out faster than compressors which have ball bearings with oil circulation.
 
This will keep the compressor running always which requires professional attention. You would have to change these fans occasionally. But before you call in the service technicians, make sure that there is ample space around these fans and that nothing fouls their shroud. Do not attempt to open the inside. You will end up damaging the internal insulation which will cause corrosion on the metal body or cause the live wire which feeds the fans or the light to come in contact with the metal body resulting in a shock or electrocution hazard. There are no user serviceable parts in a refrigerator. Call qualified service technicians. It is advisable to keep the thermostat between 37 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit in the refrigerator and at 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the freezer. A thermometer can be used to determine the temperature if the temperature dial in the refrigerator has only numbers. The refrigerator should not be placed under direct sunlight or near any heat source such as an oven.
 
The cooler the surrounding temperature, the easier it is for a refrigerator to maintain a cold temperature inside. It is recommended not to open the door of the refrigerator very often as it only wastes energy. The interior temperature of the unit can shoot up to 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit each time the door gets opened. Ensure that the door of the refrigerator is tightly closed every time you open it. Over time and usage, the rubber seals on the refrigerator doors tend to become harder or twisted. This gasket has to be checked periodically to ensure that leaking does not occur. It is advised to use an automotive polish wax on the exterior of the refrigerator on the exterior cabinet and doors so that it is protected from rust. This is particularly recommended for people living near the beach or coastal areas.


• A kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, and it needs to be upgraded every once in a while in order to keep up with new trends. There are many things that you can do to improve your kitchen regardless of when it was built. Kitchen decoration is normally aimed at increasing its functionality and splendor. Decorating the kitchen with ceramic accessories makes it the most attractive and inviting place to both the owner and visitors. Having ceramic kitchenware has always created an intriguing effect with their pleasing and attractive look.

There is no end to such examples. But once you adhere to these rules, your life will be a happy lot. Take care of the inanimate objects, regarding them as your own “non-toxic friends”.
