It should be easy and worry free for you to live in a Balder home. Therefore, below you will find a series of maintenance videos and guides to help you find assistance maintaining your home.
All Balder properties have lacquered wooden floors. You can take the best possible care of them by:
Using the right cleaning detergent
Using a microfiber mop
Avoiding excessive water on the floor - wipe up spills promptly
Using felt pads/floor mats under furniture
Using a plastic mat under your office chair
Test your smoke alarm every 3 months
Remember to keep the outside of the smoke alarm clean

The brake on the balcony door keeps the door in place during calm weather. If it's windy, the door should be closed to avoid damage to the balcony door since the brake will not be strong enough to hold the door.
Pictures on the walls help make your Balder home truly your own. When you need to drill into the walls, remember:
Be mindful of electrical outlets (use a 15 cm rule of thumb)
Never drill into the wall adjoining the bathroom.

Replace the bulb in your oven
Remove limescale from your dishwasher
Clean the drain of your refrigerator
