When you move into furnished apartments near LSU, you are responsible for the furniture, appliances and other items that are supplied. If you want to make it to the end of your lease with your security deposit intact and without owing money, then read on for some tips on how to properly maintain a furnished apartment.
Regular Cleaning
The best thing you can do for furnishings that are supplied is to regularly clean them. If you don’t, dirt and grime can build up and permanently cause damage or stains. Clean the stove whenever you use it and regularly clean out and wipe down the shelves in the refrigerator. Wipe down the furniture with hard surfaces, such as coffee tables and desks, and vacuum the couch periodically.
Immediate Action
Spills and accidental messes are unavoidable. However, when they happen, make sure to act quickly and don’t let the mess sit or it will cause a stain or lead to damage.
Use Coasters and Covers
Coasters and covers are easy measures to employ that’ll help keep your furnishings in excellent condition and protect them from damages caused by food and liquids. A simple blanket on the couch with a few coasters on the tables and desks will go a long way in protecting these furnishings.
Limit Where You Eat
You don’t have to always eat in the kitchen. However, you’ll want to try to limit where you eat sloppy meals. Be careful of chowing down on pasta with red sauce while relaxing on a light-colored couch or lounging in your bed.
