Under-Cabinet Cleanup

Under-sink areas often suffer from stains and spills, making the cabinet floor look worn and dirty. To refresh this space, consider installing self-adhesive vinyl tiles. These affordable tiles—usually around a dollar each at home improvement stores—are easy to apply and create a durable, wipe-clean surface that helps keep your cabinet looking fresh and tidy.

Raise an Adjustable Entry Door Threshold

The large screws you see in the threshold of a newer entry door aren’t merely for show—they adjust a narrow strip within the threshold that helps seal the gap. If you’ve detected a draft coming from under the door, here’s a simple way to check: On a sunny day, turn off the lights inside and close nearby curtains. Lie down and look for any daylight under the door. It’s normal to see a little light at the door’s corners, but if you notice light shining through between the threshold and the door itself, it’s time to grab a screwdriver and raise the threshold to block the draft.
