Check out these new apartment essentials!
After countless hours of searching, you’ve finally found the perfect apartment. As you start to furnish your new apartment, don’t forget the new apartment essentials. Follow this checklist to make sure you have everything you need in your new apartment.
Cleaning Supplies
You never know when someone might stop by. Make sure to always keep your apartment clean, and be sure to stock up on cleaning supplies. You don’t need to purchase a million bottles of cleaning products, but you should have a few staples. Make sure to have a broom, mop, bucket, toilet brush, bleach, cleaning rags, sponges, and an all purpose cleaner. The staples will help you keep your apartment tidy year round.
Coasters
Remember all the times you rolled your eyes at your mother when she scolded you for not using a coaster? She had a point. You’ll significantly extend the life of all your wood furniture when you use coasters.
First Aid Kit
You never know when you might need it. Keep a first aid kit on hand. At the very least, be sure to have band-aids, and a few staple over-the-counter medicines.
Fire Safety
Every renter and homeowner should have a fire extinguisher and smoke detector in their residence. Not only is it the law to have a smoke detector, but it’s also a safety precaution.
Tool Kit
Why hire a handyman when you can fix it yourself? Make sure to invest in a tool kit so that you can fix little things around the house. You don’t have to have every tool under the sun, but a basic hammer, a couple screwdrivers, level, a few pliers, measuring tape, utility knife, and duck tape should do the trick.
Now that you’ve settled into your new apartment, be sure to invest in renters insurance. The professionals at Phocus Insurance can find you the best policies for your needs. Located in Phoenix, Arizona we serve all your personal and commercial insurance needs. Contact us for more information.
