Annoying Issues in Your Home and How to Address Them

Everybody will experience annoying issues in their home on a daily or weekly basis. You know the kind I’m talking about. Those pesky little issues that irritate and aggravate you. They’re not major problems, and they’re not exactly going to bring your house to ruin. But they bug you all the same. These kinds of problems are often the worst. I know for me they’re more irritating because I encounter them daily at home. And I know I can do something about it, but I’ve been lazy. If it were a burst water main, that would be out of my hands. So, in a way, smaller issues annoy me more because I shouldn’t be causing them to begin with!

 

I’ve thought about a few of these kinds of issues that I encounter on a regular basis. Here they are, and I’ve put down the best ways that you can address these issues and stop them happening in the future. Making small changes in the home can have much more of a benefit than you think.

Radiator not Heating Properly

 

When it’s cold, you want to put the heating on. Staying warm is a basic human desire. But there’s nothing more irritating than encountering a radiator that doesn’t heat properly. You might find half of it is hot, and the other half is cold. The problem with this is that it means it doesn’t heat the room well. I had this issue for ages until I realised what the problem was. The way to solve it is quite simple too. You need to bleed all the radiators in the home. You should have a radiator key lying around somewhere. Just go around the house and bleed them in each room. Try to do this during the day when it’s warmer, and you don’t need to use them. Bleeding your radiators a couple of times a year should keep them in good working order.

Kitchen Drawers are a Mess

 

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve opened a kitchen drawer to find it a total shambles. Having to bend down into the drawer and hunt for pots and pans isn’t my idea of fun. No doubt you’ve had the same problems, and you know how annoying it is. Well, I figured out a way around it. You can get telescopic ball bearing drawer slides like the ones found at de.accuride-europe.com. The way these work is they allow drawers to slide right out. This means it’s much easier to get things out of the drawer and saves you having to bend into it. It’ll also allow you to organise the stuff in the drawers better and keeps them tidier.

Hard Water

 

Now, depending what area of the country you live you might have hard water or soft water. I live in a hard water area which is annoying as I have sensitive skin. Whenever I have a shower, it leaves my skin all red and blotchy. And if I have a glass of water or cup of tea I notice the hard water. But don’t fret, if you’re having the same issues I’m going to tell you a way around it. To fix the drinking water, you can get yourself a filter jug. Fill it up and sit it in your fridge for nice cold refreshing water. The shower issue is a little harder to fix, but it’s doable. You can get a filter fitted to the mains in your home that will make the water softer. Most installers allow you to do this on a trial basis to see how you get on.
