There are very few people out there who like to do chores.

There are about a hundred more exciting things to do than do housework. So if there are chores that you can put off doing, you would, right? The good news is that there are plenty of chores that you can put off and do just once a year. When you do that, you can enjoy a real sense of achievement in keeping your house and garden looking great with minimal effort on your part.

While there are daily house jobs like the dusting and sweeping that you have to do, there are also jobs you may do twice a year. Like getting the AC repair services booked in to make sure that your AC is in excellent working order. These are still a lot less required than the yearly jobs that we’ve got for you below. So, if you hate chores, you’ll love this list of things that you don’t have to do more than is necessary!

Change The Window Treatments

The valance, the blinds and the shades hang on your windows all year round. Most of the time, people ignore the window coverings. They’re doing their job of keeping the house dark at night time and keeping out the intense beams of the sun. They hang vertically, but they do a great job in catching dust.

Once a year, you need to take yours down and take them to the dry cleaners. You can then rehang them and steam them out to stop any wrinkles. Your home will feel so refreshed, but this is a once-a-year job because of the fact that no one needs to be washing their drapes weekly!

Get The Gutters Good Again

As with AC repair, you need to think about getting your gutters cleaned out. The leaves and sticks and rain mixed together creates a weird sludge that blocks the water flowing from your gutters to the ground. When they’re not cleaned out, they can cause issues for the roof.

Clean Outdoor Furniture

Most of the year, outdoor furniture stays stored in the shed. When it comes to the warmer weather, that’s when you need to give it a thorough cleaning with a pressure washer so that you can use it once more. Use a soap solution for your outdoor furniture so that you can get into the crevices and grooves without issue.

Clean The Carpets

Get the carpet cleaners in to ensure that the carpets in your home are completely and thoroughly washed through. You may only need to do that more than once a year if you have had a particularly muddy time of things. Carpet cleaning is a big job, and if your house is full of carpet, then you’re bound to find it much harder to keep up with. Once a year, deep clean the carpets across the house and bring in a steamer for the hardwood floor.

There’s no need to go nuts on the big chores when they can clearly wait. Make a delicious drink and relax!
