Besides unplugging appliances, there are other simple steps you can take to keep your home protected. First, inspect cords and plugs often for signs of damage like cracks or fraying. If you notice anything off, replace the cord or the whole appliance right away. Don’t overload outlets or power strips, especially with heat-producing items like toasters or space heaters. Surge protectors help protect your expensive electronics during storms or power outages. Make sure you have working smoke detectors in every room where appliances are used, not just the kitchen. Change their batteries at least twice a year. Keep items like curtains, towels, and paper far from any heat source. Teach kids about which appliances are safe and which should never be touched without supervision. Store instruction manuals somewhere easy to find, so you can reference them when needed. A few simple habits can help avoid accidents and give you peace of mind.
