While the government restrictions are slowly being relaxed, many of us still have more spare time on our hands than usual. If you still find yourself with a lot of downtime at home, this is a great opportunity to work on a bit of home improvement and get started on those tasks that we haven’t quite had the time to get around to. If you’ve had your fix of movies and Netflix series’ for now, check out our list of suggestions on how to be productive and fill your time below.

Tend to your Garden

There’s never been a better time to get out and mow your lawn and tidy up the garden. This is the perfect way to get a bit of exercise and soak up vitamin D while abiding by social distancing regulations. You may even want to buy some new flowers or shrubbery and get planting. In such a chaotic time we find that it’s sometimes therapeutic to embrace nature, plus you’ll get so much satisfaction from watching your new garden grow and flourish! To keep your lawnmower and garden tools in prime working order, our MX3 lubricant is the ideal product!

DIY Maintenance

You know all of those odd jobs around the house that you’ve been putting off? Why not get started on them now since you’re likely to have a bit of spare time on your hands. Those squeaky hinges on the front door or garden gate? It won’t take long for you to apply a bit of lubricant and get rid of the irritating screech. Or perhaps your windows have been getting a bit sticky lately? Simply apply a bit of lubricant to the tracks of your windows (don’t forget to give the tracks a wipe first with a dry cloth to get rid of any dirt and dust). The same goes for your sliding doors.

For all of this DIY maintenance around the house, you won’t find a better product than our MX5 Plus PTFE Lubricant which is designed to protect against corrosion and withstand extreme pressure! What’s more, we now have MX5 with a needle applicator making it easier than ever to get to those hard to reach nooks and crannies. 

Fishing Gear

Now that we’re able to get out on the water again, make sure you get your rod, reel and equipment properly prepared after being out of use for an extended period of time. When your fishing equipment has been left unused for a while, it’s essential that you give all of those nooks and crannies a thorough clean and get your fishing gear well lubricated to ensure that it’s in good working order when you’re back out on the lake or the ocean. You certainly don’t want stiff equipment preventing you from reeling in a major catch of the day! INOX MX3 and MX6 are both perfect for keeping your reels, rods and gear in tip-top condition and free from corrosion. 

All of the Other Bits and Pieces

Below is a list of all the other odd jobs and loose ends that you can tidy up around the house while spending time at home, paired with the best product for the job:

  • Clean any power tools or rusty hand tools and apply a good layer of MX3 lubricant
  • Maintain your camping equipment with MX3 or MX6 when it comes to any of your portable cooking equipment
  • Do you have a garage door chain that needs to be oiled? MX5 is the product you’re looking for!
  • Give your BBQ a good scrub then apply MX5 to all of the hinges, nuts and bolts
  • Grease your pool pumps and seals with MX6

Before you know it you’ll be coming out the other side of this isolation period with a house that’s never been in better condition! To browse the full range of INOX lubricants and products head to our website or to learn more get in touch with us today!
