Repairs: Many things can also be carried out on your own

They are annoying, but unfortunately they are always necessary: minor repairs or the removal of damage to furniture in the apartment or house. The portal "schoener-wohnen.de" has put together a few tips so that tenants or owners don't have to call a handyman every time. For example, if a piece of solid wood furniture has a nick or dent, you can apply a little spit to the affected area and leave it to work overnight.

According to "schoener-wohnen.de", this method usually straightens the fibers again and can then be worked on with sandpaper. If the spit method is too disgusting for you, you can also use a wet cloth or an iron instead. Dents in wooden floors do not have to be replaced straight away. Instead, cheaper repair kits can be purchased to repair the damage.

To prevent damage such as algae and moss on facades from developing in the first place, prevention is also possible. So-called algae ex-coatings can be purchased from DIY stores and should be used once a year. When buying these, make sure that they are ecologically safe. If you don't want to repair anything, but would like to equip your property with a photovoltaic system and find out more about when it will have paid for itself, you should use a calculator beforehand.
