Mastering Appliance Cleaning for a Sparkling Home at RPM Living

In the world of luxury living, every detail matters, and that includes maintaining the pristine condition of your appliances. As an RPM resident, you're no stranger to the art of refined living. These tips will help ensure that your exquisite living space remains as breathtaking as the day you moved in.

Regular Maintenance

Consistency is key. Schedule regular cleaning sessions for your appliances to prevent dirt and grime buildup.

Gentle Cleaning Solutions

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions specific to its material to ensure your appliances' surfaces remain unharmed.

Appliance-Specific Cleaning

Each appliance has its cleaning requirements. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for the best cleaning practices, and find a product that works best for your space, and your budget. Remember: not all cleaning products are REALLY for everything.

Interior Cleaning

For appliances like ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators, deep clean the interior periodically to prevent odors and maintain efficiency. It may not be fun in the moment, but you’ll thank yourself later.

Seamless Stainless Steel

If your appliances feature stainless steel, use specialized stainless steel cleaners to maintain their lustrous shine. Resorting to products that are not safe for stainless steel can cause streaks, smudges, and even rust.

Quick Tips for Common Appliances

Refrigerator

Remove expired items regularly (ideally when you’re taking out the trash), wipe down shelves, and vacuum the condenser coils to prevent buildup from dust, hair, and other grime.

Oven

Use self-cleaning cycles when applicable, and clean spills promptly to prevent baked-on messes. Nobody likes turning the oven on and getting a burning whiff of last night’s oil drips on the bottom rack.

Microwave

Wipe the interior after each use and clean the exterior to maintain a spotless appearance. Prevent spills, splashes, and other messes by always covering your food with a microwave safe container, or even a paper towel to make things easier on yourself.

Dishwasher

Clean the filter regularly and wipe down the door seals to prevent mold growth. If you ever notice an odor coming from your dishwasher, run an empty cycle with vinegar and baking soda to give your drain a deep clean.

Preserving Luxury, One Appliance at a Time

By adopting these cleaning practices in your RPM luxury apartment, you're ensuring that your appliances continue to reflect the elegance and sophistication that your residence embodies:

Your appliances will complement the luxurious ambiance of your property, creating a harmonious living environment.

Spring Cleaning Checklist For Your Luxury RPM Living Apartment

Kiss those winter blues goodbye as we dive headfirst into spring - and spring cleaning! Check out a few of our tried and true recommendations that are sure to refresh your space and that should definitely be on your spring cleaning checklist this year.

Shampoo carpets & rugs

From snow and salt to dust and grime, winter can be hard on all carpeted surfaces throughout your home, so be sure and give them a good wash as we lead into the cleaner, fresher spring season! Believe us when we say, even if they look clean, they can ALWAYS be cleaner. Thank us later with this one.

Wash curtains

If you’ve never thought about cleaning your curtains before, you’re not alone. As one of the most forgotten items to clean in the majority of homes, your window curtains can easily collect dust and debris without you realizing it, and can even be responsible for aggravating your allergies. While you should always follow the instructions specific to your items, typically a simple wash cycle or steam cleaning is an effective way to refresh your luxury RPM Living apartment.

Deep clean mattresses

A good rule of thumb to follow to keep your home at its freshest is to deep clean your mattress once every season, and spring is no exception! As you replace your winter bedding over to your spring selection, clear off your mattress, give it a 180 flip, and sprinkle in some baking soda. After letting it sit for 20-30 minutes, vacuum up the baking soda, and using a damp sponge and gentle dish soap, generously give your mattress a good wipe down. Always allow your mattress time to air out and dry fully before reapplying your bedding!

Wash outdoor areas

Scrubbing or power washing your deck / patio, washing your driveway, treating your home for any mildew, and washing your outdoor furniture are all prime examples of ways to properly refresh your outdoor space and prepare your home for spring. This is also the perfect time to get ready for any outdoor hosting events you have planned, such as BBQs, pool parties, and more!

Declutter closets

While this is a task that can eat up some time, decluttering your closet in preparation for spring and summer is the perfect way to renew your space, and should definitely be on your spring cleaning checklist. Donating unwanted items and reorganizing your closet will not only enhance the visual appearance of your closet, but will make getting ready and finding your favorite outfits so much easier.

Move-In Checklist For Our RPM Living Apartments

Getting ready to move into one of our RPM Living apartments across the US? We can’t wait to welcome you to your new home! As you prepare for move-in day, there are a few items to make sure you have in order so that your move-in day goes smoothly. Here is a handy checklist to keep your moving arrangements on track and avoid unnecessary hassle.

Sign Your Lease Documents

Step one is of course to make sure your leasing documents are signed by all involved parties, including yourself, any other tenants sharing the apartment with you, and a leasing agent. You should receive a copy of your signed leasing documents once they have been processed, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our leasing office if there are any hiccups with our automated system or you are still waiting for a leasing agent to sign.

Provide Proof of Renter’s Insurance

In accordance with your lease agreement, you’ll need to provide proof of renter’s insurance prior to moving in. Ensure that the coverage meets the requirements set out in your leasing document and please list your RPM Living apartment as an interested party on your policy so that we can be updated with this information. If you have any questions about renter’s insurance requirements or need a recommendation for an insurance provider, don’t hesitate to reach out to our leasing team.

Pay Pet Deposit (if Applicable)

If you are moving in with a pet, you’ll need to ensure that you have paid the pet deposit and pet fee prior to move-in. You’ll also need to provide a few details about your pet(s) including their name, age, and breed. These details also help us return your pet to you if they are ever lost or wandering outside of your RPM Living apartment without your supervision. If you adopt a new pet after moving in, please be sure to update our office with your new pet information.

Pay Security Deposit

A security deposit is a refundable fee paid at the beginning of your residency in order to help cover the cost of any damages to your apartment that may result during your stay. This deposit must be paid prior to moving in and will be paid back to you minus any repair costs when you end your residency at any RPM Living apartment community.

Provide Vehicle Information

If you have a car that will be parked in our community, we ask that you provide a few key details including its license place number, make, model, and year. This helps us ensure that we are able to meet the parking needs of all our residents and maintain the security of our community by ensuring that all vehicles are authorized to be parked here. If you get a new car after moving in, please be sure to update the office with its new details as well!
