Hariho ibintu byinshi ugomba gusuzuma muguhitamo aigikapu: 1. Ingano nubushobozi: Reba umubare nubunini bwibintu ugomba gutwara.Niba ukeneye urugendo rurerure, ukeneye ubushobozi bunini;niba uyikoresha buri munsi, ubushobozi burashobora kuba buto.2. Ibikoresho nigihe kirekire: Hitamo ibikoresho byujuje ubuziranenge no gukora kugirango umenye neza ko igikapu gishobora kwihanganira uburemere no gukoresha kenshi.3. Ihumure: Reba ihumure noguhindura imishumi, ikibaho cyinyuma, umukandara wikibuno nibindi bice kugirango urebe ko kwambara igikapu igihe kirekire bitazatera ikibazo.4. Imikorere idasanzwe: Niba ukeneye gukora ibikorwa byo hanze, ugomba guhitamo aigikapuhamwe nibikorwa nkibidashobora gukoreshwa n’amazi no kurwanya amarira.5. Ikirango nigiciro: Hitamo ikirango cyibikapu nigiciro ukurikije bije yawe yo gukoresha.Muri make, mugihe uhisemo igikapu, ugomba gutekereza kuri byose ukurikije ibyo ukeneye hamwe nibikoreshwa, hanyuma ugahitamo ibicuruzwa bifite imikorere ihanitse.
