#TipsTuesday – Maintain Vs Repair

Are you in the habit of waiting for work to pile up before you attack it?

Do you usually wait for one ‘Big Day’ before you do your cleaning?

I find that piling up work doesn’t work for me. In fact, it just makes the task seem more daunting!

When you hear the word ‘Maintain’ or ‘Maintenance’, your mind may immediately register on a car or some other heavy duty equipment or tool.
