I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be chillin’ at the pool or hanging with friends and making memories in July than cleaning. {snicker} Which is probably why this time of the year the house feels impossible to keep picked up ~ let alone clean! {groan} Therefore, I made the July organization and home repair checklist is pretty light on the “to-do’s”. Just the basics this month to keep the house maintained and in operational order.
Tip Junkie is here to help you stay on top of your game this summer with great resources and a free home checklist. Take a day and really plan and organize your schedule so you can clean and organize every room inside your home, as well as the outside of your home.

July Organization
Summer is officially upon us! It’s HOT outside here in Texas! Is it where you live, too? Time to get more organized and get going on summer organization projects around the home! If you have things that need to get organized like I do {projects never seem to end, do they?}, then you’re in luck!
1. Inside the House ~ Cleaning
There are quite a few things inside your home that need to be deep cleaned that we sometimes forget about. I’ve listed some of the most often missed items to clean.
- Clean out child’s closets
- Wall furnace: clean grills
- Range hood filter, clean blades
- Change smoke detector batteries
- Check toilets for leaks and water run-on
- Check bathroom caulking
- Clothes Dryer: vacuum lint from vents
- AC: change filters
Here are a few Homemade Cleaner Recipes that might help out in your cleaning efforts.
2. Outside the House ~ Home Maintenance
Don’t forget about the outside of the house. After long winters there are certain things that get neglected that you should not forget about. I’ve listed items that will need special attention this summer.
- Inspect light timers and motion detectors
- Inspect foundation walls for termites
- Clean outside BBQ grill or outdoor kitchen
- DIY wet towel clothes holder
- Wipe down all your outdoor furniture and make any repairs
3. Improve the House ~ Home Repair
