Repair and maintenance of things as well as clothes extends their useful life and so makes best use of resources. This can include an annual maintenance visit for your boiler (if you still have one), cleaning and or polishing footwear, reheeling/ resoling shoes, cleaning washing machines including the filter, cleaning washing machines, cookers – in fact anything that can be cleaned- descaling kettles, cleaning cycles, changing brake blocks, oiling chains as well as having a regular servicing, re-decorating painted window frames, doors etc, cleaning out gutters (you may need help with this).
Websites such as https://hoa.org.uk/advice/guides-for-homeowners/i-am-managing-2/home-maintenance-checklist/ can be a starting place to check on routine maintenance for your home (although I wouldn’t recommend jet hosing patios etc as that wastes water and energy).
