Pet-Proofing Your RPM Apartment: Tips for a Safe and Happy Home

Hey pet lovers! At RPM Living, we know that your furry friends are family, and keeping them safe and happy in your apartment is a top priority. Whether you have a playful pup, a curious kitty, or any other adorable animal companion, we’ve got you covered with our top tips for pet-proofing your apartment. Let’s dive in and make your home a pet paradise!

Keep Hazardous Items Out of Reach

Pets are naturally curious, and they love to explore. Make sure to keep any hazardous items, such as cleaning supplies, medications, and certain foods, are well out of reach. Store these items in cabinets with childproof locks or on high shelves. Remember, what’s safe for humans can be dangerous for pets.

Secure Trash Cans

Trash cans can be a treasure trove for pets, but they can also be dangerous. Invest in a trash can with a secure lid to keep your furry friend from getting into harmful leftovers or sharp objects. Consider placing the trash can in a cabinet or pantry to keep it completely out of reach.

Hide Electrical Cords

Electrical cords are irresistible to many pets, especially teething puppies and curious cats. To prevent chewing and potential shocks, hide cords behind furniture, use cord protectors, or secure them with cable organizers. You can also use pet-safe bitter sprays to deter chewing.

Choose Pet-Friendly Furniture and Fabrics

When it comes to furniture, choose pieces that can withstand pet hair, claws, and the occasional accident. Leather and microfiber are great options because they’re durable and easy to clean. For added protection, use washable slipcovers or pet blankets to keep your furniture looking fresh.

Create a Pet-Safe Zone

Designate a specific area in your apartment as a pet-safe zone where your furry friend can relax and play without getting into trouble. Fill it with their favorite toys, a comfy bed, and maybe even a pet gate to keep them contained when you’re not home. This gives your pet a safe space and helps keep the rest of your apartment in order.

Watch Out for Small Objects

Pets love to bat around and chew on small objects, which can be choking hazards. Keep items like coins, buttons, jewelry, and small toys out of reach. Regularly check under furniture and in other hiding spots where these items might end up.

Protect Your Plants

Many common household plants are toxic to pets. Make sure to research any plants you have or plan to bring into your apartment. Keep toxic plants out of reach or opt for pet-friendly alternatives like spider plants, Boston ferns, or succulents. Your pet and your greenery can coexist peacefully with a little planning!

Use Pet Gates and Barriers

Pet gates and barriers are excellent for keeping pets out of certain areas, like the kitchen or a home office. They’re easy to install and can be a lifesaver in managing your pet’s movements around the apartment - and most are renter-friendly! Plus, they’re great for creating boundaries and teaching your pet about off-limit areas.

Secure Windows and Balconies

If you live in an apartment with windows or a balcony, ensure they are secure. Consider using pet-safe, renter-friendly netting or barriers on balconies to prevent any accidental falls. Cats and small dogs can be especially adventurous, so take extra precautions.

Provide Plenty of Entertainment

A bored pet can quickly become a mischievous pet. Keep your furry friend entertained with plenty of toys, scratching posts, and interactive activities. Puzzle toys and treat dispensers are great for keeping their minds engaged. Regular playtime and exercise are key to a happy and well-behaved pet.

Regular Maintenance and Check-Ups

Finally, regular maintenance and check-ups are essential. Keep your pet’s nails trimmed to prevent damage to floors and furniture. Schedule regular vet visits to ensure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. A healthy pet is a happy pet!

Pet-proofing your apartment doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these tips, you can create a safe, happy, and harmonious home for you and your furry friend. At RPM Living, we believe that pets are part of the family, and we’re here to help you make your apartment the perfect place for everyone. Happy pet-proofing!

The Ultimate Guide to Stress-Free Moving

Moving can be a daunting task, but with a little planning and some handy tips, you can make it a stress-free experience. We've got you covered with our top tips to ensure a smooth and easy move into an RPM apartment. Let’s get started!

Start Early and Stay Organized

First things first, start planning your move as early as possible. Create a moving checklist to keep track of tasks and set deadlines. Breaking down the process into manageable steps makes it less overwhelming. Trust us, your future self will thank you!

Declutter Before You Pack

Moving is the perfect time to declutter. Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss. This not only reduces the amount of stuff you need to pack but also makes unpacking easier. Plus, a fresh start in your new home feels amazing without unnecessary clutter.

Gather Packing Supplies

Stock up on packing supplies like boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Having everything you need on hand will save you from last-minute runs to the store. Pro tip: Use small boxes for heavy items like books and larger boxes for lighter items like linens.

Pack Room by Room

To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking a breeze and helps movers know where to place each box in your new home. Don’t forget to pack a “first-night” box with essentials like toiletries, clothes, and important documents.

Keep Essentials Handy

Pack a separate bag with essentials you’ll need immediately, such as medications, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes. This way, you won’t have to dig through boxes for the things you need right away.

Use What You Have

Save money and packing materials by using items you already have. Suitcases, laundry baskets, and even hampers can be used to transport belongings. Towels and blankets make great padding for fragile items.

Hire Movers or Recruit Friends

Decide whether you want to hire professional movers or enlist the help of friends and family. If you go the DIY route, make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand to keep your helpers happy. If hiring movers, book them well in advance and check reviews to ensure they’re reliable.

Take Breaks and Stay Hydrated

Moving is hard work, so remember to take breaks and stay hydrated. Moving day can be long and tiring, but regular breaks will keep your energy up and stress levels down.

Unpack Strategically

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, start by unpacking the essentials. Focus on one room at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Setting up your bedroom and bathroom first can make your new place feel more like home right away.

Make it Fun

Turn on your favorite music, order some takeout, and make unpacking a fun experience. Celebrate the small victories along the way, like setting up your living room or organizing your kitchen.

Moving doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal. With a bit of preparation and a positive attitude, you can turn moving day into an exciting new adventure. At RPM Living, we’re here to make your transition as smooth as possible. So, follow these tips, take a deep breath, and enjoy the journey to your new home. You’ve got this!

7 Creative Tips for Refreshing Your RPM Apartment for a Summery Vibe

As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, it's time to give your apartment a refreshing makeover to welcome the summer season. But who says you need to break the bank to achieve a breezy, summery feel? With a little creativity and some strategic tweaks, you can transform your living space into a sunny oasis without spending a fortune.

Bring in Natural Light

Embrace the sunshine by maximizing natural light in your apartment. Pull back heavy curtains and let the sunlight flood in. If privacy is a concern, consider sheer curtains that allow light to filter through while still maintaining some level of privacy. Rearrange your furniture to take advantage of windows and create cozy nooks bathed in sunlight.

Add Vibrant Accents

Inject pops of color into your space with vibrant accents that evoke the spirit of summer. Dig out those bright throw pillows, lightweight throws, and colorful rugs from storage to add a playful touch to your living room or bedroom. Incorporate fresh flowers or potted plants for a natural burst of color and freshness.

Create an Outdoor Oasis

If you have a balcony or patio, now's the time to transform it into an outdoor oasis where you can relax and unwind. Arrange comfortable seating, such as lounge chairs or a bistro set, and add soft outdoor cushions and throws for added comfort. Hang string lights or lanterns to create a cozy ambiance for evening gatherings.

DIY Artwork

Get creative and channel your inner artist by creating your own DIY artwork to adorn your walls. Whether it's a colorful abstract painting, a botanical print, or a coastal-inspired piece, DIY artwork adds a personal touch to your space and can instantly brighten up any room. Use materials you already have on hand, such as old canvases, paint, or fabric scraps, to keep costs low.

Freshen Up with Citrus Scents

Infuse your apartment with the refreshing scents of summer by using citrus-scented oils, diffusers, or room sprays. Citrus scents, such as lemon, lime, and orange, are known for their uplifting and energizing properties, perfect for creating a cheerful atmosphere. Alternatively, simmer a pot of water with citrus peels and herbs for a natural and fragrant air freshener.

Swap Out Textiles

Trade heavy winter textiles for lighter, breathable fabrics that are more suited to the warmer weather. Swap out solid curtains for patterns, creating more texture and depth in your home. Replace flannel bedding with lightweight cotton or linen sheets for a cooler and more comfortable sleep.

Embrace Indoor-Outdoor Living

Blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living by incorporating elements of nature into your interior decor. Arrange indoor plants near windows or on shelves to bring the outdoors in and create a seamless transition between spaces. Invest in versatile furniture pieces that can easily transition from indoor to outdoor use, such as wicker chairs or poufs.

A Complete Guide: How & When to Clean Household Appliances

Keeping your household appliances clean is not only essential for maintaining their performance but also for ensuring a healthy and hygienic living environment. From your refrigerator to your dishwasher, regular cleaning can extend the lifespan of your appliances and prevent potential issues down the line.

Refrigerator

Start by removing all food items and shelves from the refrigerator. Wipe down the interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and water. Don't forget to clean the shelves, drawers, and rubber seals. For stubborn stains and odors, use a baking soda paste or a mixture of vinegar and water. Vacuum the coils at the back of the fridge to remove dust and debris, and clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Aim to clean your refrigerator every three to six months or as needed.

Dishwasher

To clean your dishwasher, remove any food debris from the filter and spray arms. Run a cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to remove built-up grease and limescale. Wipe down the door gasket and exterior with a damp cloth, and check the drain for any blockages. Clean your dishwasher once a month to ensure optimal performance.

Oven and Stove

For electric ovens, remove the racks and soak them in warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to scrub the interior surfaces, including the walls and door. For gas stoves, remove the grates and burner caps and soak them in soapy water. Wipe down the stovetop with a degreaser and clean any spills or stains. Clean your oven and stove every three to six months or as needed.

Microwave

To clean your microwave, place a bowl of water with lemon slices or vinegar inside and heat it on high for several minutes. The steam will help loosen food splatters and stains. Wipe down the interior with a damp cloth and remove the turntable for cleaning. Use a mild detergent to clean the exterior surfaces and door. Clean your microwave once a week or as needed.

Washing Machine

To clean your washing machine, run a cycle with hot water and vinegar to remove built-up detergent residue and mold. Wipe down the door gasket and detergent dispenser with a damp cloth, and clean the filter if applicable. Leave the door open between washes to allow air to circulate and prevent mold growth. Clean your washing machine every three to six months.

Dryer

Clean the lint trap before or after each use to prevent fire hazards and improve dryer efficiency. Use a vacuum attachment to remove lint from the vent hose and exhaust duct. Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and clean the drum with a mild detergent. Clean your dryer every three to six months or as needed.

Now that you know how and when to clean your household appliances, it's time to put this knowledge into practice. By maintaining a regular cleaning schedule, you can ensure that your appliances stay in top condition and continue to serve you well for years to come.

Renting vs. Buying: The Smart Choice for Your Austin Lifestyle

Are you torn between renting vs buying your next home in Austin, TX? It's a common dilemma, especially in a city as vibrant and dynamic as ours. But fear not, because we're here to shed some light on why renting might just be the perfect fit for your lifestyle.

Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages of renting is the flexibility it offers. Whether you're new to Austin and still exploring your options or simply prefer the freedom to move without being tied down, renting provides the flexibility you need. Avendale at The Colony, nestled in a serene setting with easy access to major highways and the vibrant downtown scene, offers the flexibility to live life on your terms. With spacious floor plans and top-notch amenities, it's the perfect place to call home without the long-term commitment.

Maintenance-Free Living

Say goodbye to the hassles of homeownership and hello to maintenance-free living. When you rent, you're not responsible for costly repairs or upkeep. At Medina Highlands, conveniently located near shopping, dining, and entertainment options, you can relax and enjoy life while the dedicated maintenance team takes care of the rest. From landscaping to appliance repairs, renting means peace of mind knowing that any issues will be promptly addressed, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Affordability

While buying a home may seem like a sound investment, the upfront costs and ongoing expenses can add up quickly. Renting, on the other hand, often offers more affordability and flexibility, especially in a competitive market like Austin. Citizen House Pflugerville, with its modern apartments and resort-style amenities, provides an affordable option for those seeking the perfect balance of comfort and convenience.

Plus, with no property taxes or homeowners insurance to worry about, renting allows you to allocate your funds towards other priorities, whether it's exploring Austin's renowned live music scene or indulging in its culinary delights.

Access to Amenities

From swimming pools to fitness centers, renting often comes with access to a wide range of amenities that might be out of reach for many homeowners. Avendale at The Colony boasts a wealth of amenities, including a sparkling pool, outdoor lounge areas, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, making it easy to stay active and entertained without ever leaving home.

With so much to offer right at your doorstep, renting allows you to enjoy the best that Austin has to offer without breaking the bank.

To wrap things up, while the decision to rent or buy ultimately depends on your individual circumstances and long-term goals, renting offers a plethora of benefits that are hard to ignore.

Whether you're drawn to the flexibility, affordability, or convenience of renting, RPM Living's properties in Austin, including Avendale at The Colony, Medina Highlands, and Citizen House Pflugerville, provide the perfect opportunity to embrace the rental lifestyle and make the most of everything this vibrant city has to offer.
