Maintenance Day

In order for things to continue working properly, they need maintenance. Without routine maintenance, things will break down more often and cost more in the long run. In some cases, failure to maintain can even be dangerous. Maintenance Day is celebrated on January 18 every year to check your home, equipment, vehicles, and anything else that needs servicing and make sure everything is working properly.

How to celebrate Maintenance Day

Celebrate Maintenance Day by performing whatever maintenance you can think of. Here are some ideas for what to maintain:
