10 Tips on How to Know When It's Time to Rid Yourself of Some Household Items
Sometimes it isn't broke, tacky, or not useful anymore, some of those items at your residence you just don't like much, are still wondering what you really need them for, and create clutter. So when is it time to say, "So long?"
1. You move it from one area to one room and it seems to be always in the way.
2. Can you recall when you last used it? Do you really need it?
3. When guests come over and question, "Now how old are you again?"
4. When it just doesn't make the home look comfortable.
5. The item stands out, but that is all it does. It doesn't enhance the environment and isn't needed.
6. Guests are uncomfortable sitting on it, viewing it, and you are tired of them asking you a ton of questions about it.
7. It is so cheap or unstable that if someone applies just a little pressure it would fall apart.
8. When all it brings you is bad memories, grief, confusion, or rage if someone touches it.
9. The kids are fighting over it and you are tired of policing their fall-outs.
10. You just hate it and you don't know why.
Holding on to unnecessary items will begin to grate on your nerves. They will also keep you from buying what you really want because all you seem to think about is, "I have no room...I wish I had the space...I need to really get this but..." Save yourself the stress before the next time you shop, say goodbye to the things that aren't making life any easier!

When was the last time you shampooed every area of your home?
Time gets away from us and before long, we realize that certain areas of our home, apartment, townhouse, or condo have yet to be managed. One thing that is often overlooked is carpeting.
Notice how much dust, debris and other things hide in the carpet fibers. If it has been a long time since you cleaned a carpet, consider sprinkling it with powders used to remove fleas and other insects seen and unseen first, let set for the time allotted on the product and then vacuum. A quick google search and you will discover things like carpet fleas that will bite when hidden in carpet before or after a shampoo.
When you begin to clean, be sure you remove as many items as you can off the rug you plan to shampoo. If you don't, you will learn as you move items how unsightly it looks when some areas have not been shampooed. You will also want to consider what you are keeping and what you plan to throw away.
Also before you begin your task, do dust, vacuum, and perform cleaning like wiping off items and walls. The room looks so much better when everything looks fresh and clean again!
