The indoor year in four short lists

Every task on Groutena sits in one season, chosen for when it is easiest or matters most. Open the season you are in, work through six to eight items, and come back in three months.

Month by month

Where each task lands
MonthsListMain tasks
March to MaySpringGrout and caulk, washer hoses, sink cabinets, first cooling filter, dryer duct
June to AugustSummerHumidity, condensate drain, fridge line and coils, GFCI test, monthly filter look
September to NovemberFallSmoke and CO alarms, heating filter, water heater flush and relief valve, main shutoff tag
December to FebruaryWinterPipes on outside walls, thermostat floor, monthly filter, caulk gaps, range hood filter

A few tasks repeat

Filters show up in more than one season because heating and cooling months load them fastest. Caulk is checked in spring and again in winter, when dry air opens new gaps. Everything else is once a year.

Seasons by climate

The lists follow a typical four-season U.S. climate. In a mild climate, the winter pipe steps matter only on rare cold nights, and summer humidity may last longer. Shift the months to match the weather where you live.

Hands in slate-blue sleeves tighten a braided washer inlet hose at the wall valve beside a white washing machine, with a coral laundry basket of towels on the floor.
Washer hoses get a look every spring.
