Storing Your Favourite Car Over Winter Thursday, December 29, 2011
For a car, inactivity can do just as much damage as it does for us people! Damage of nearly every kind can occur from just sitting, such as rotting rubber, mildew development, rust, engine parts can seize , and batteries can go dead. Here's how to prevent this from happening to your car: 1. Give your classic a good detailing. Wash all road grime and salts from the undercarriage as well as body parts. Give the entire car a good wax. 2. Once your vehicle is ready to be parked for the winter, change or drain all related fluids, especially while the car is still warm. 3.

Kitchen Deep Clean and De-clutter Thursday, April 28, 2011
Some people like to begin their spring cleaning in the kitchen. The kitchen is the room that is usually used the most in a home. It is where your meals are prepared and keeping it clean and organized is a priority. Even though you may clean your kitchen daily, you still need to do that once a year deep clean that reaches the bottom of every drawer and the back of every one of the shelves. For your kitchen spring cleaning, plan to empty every drawer and every shelf and wipe them clean. As you begin to put things back in place, take time to reconsider where things are being stored. Is there a deep drawer that you are always digging through to find things? Are all your baking pans together in one place? Perhaps moving some items to different areas will make your kitchen easier to work in. Don’t forget to go through the items in your food pantry during your cleaning as well. Check for expiration dates. Throw out anything that is old. Reorganize this area too so that you can ..

Staging Helps Sell Your Home Monday, April 18, 2011
When you decide to place your home on the real estate market, it is important to have it looking its best at all times. Professional stagers have come on the scene to give homeowners advice on to make their home more appealing to buyers. The first tip these professionals always give is to de-clutter. Remove as much as possible from the home, to give it a more spacious feel. It also makes it easier to keep the home neat for home tours by potential buyers. The trouble with removing items from your home is that you will need a place to store them in the meantime. Since no one can predict how long your home will be on the market, that can be a dilemma. You may need access to some of those things while they are in storage. If furniture pieces are included in the items that you are storing, you may need more space than relatives or friends have to offer.

Vinyl is a warm, textural listening experience, and steps must be taken to preserve it. Following a few basic principles will help to conserve your collection for present and future enjoyment.

Storing and Caring for Books Monday, March 14, 2011
University texts, family heirlooms, classic novels and children’s stories – we collect a lot of books over the years. Regardless of how we come by our libraries, we find at some point that we have to store them away. Proper care and storage are essential to extending the life of your volumes. Here are some guidelines for doing it right. Cleaning. If the book is extremely dirty, lightly vacuum with a brush attachment. For light to moderate amounts of dust and dirt, use a magnetic dry cloth. Hold the book firmly closed so dust doesn’t get between the pages and wipe the book from the spine outwards. Make sure there is nothing stashed between the pages of the book. Paper items and pressed flowers are acidic and damaging to the pages. Fasteners like paperclips can stain and tear. Packing. Take an inventory of your books, noting the title, author, publisher, year, ISBN (if present) and any other information you find pertinent. An inventory will help you locate ind ..

Storing Household Linens Wednesday, February 23, 2011
There are two essential elements to caring for and preserving your linens: proper cleaning and proper storage. Before organizing and packing your linens and bedding away, it is important that they have been properly cleaned. Remember to check the tags for washing instructions, but as a general rule, anything made from cotton can be laundered in the washing machine put in the dryer. Remove and fold items right after the cycle has ended to avoid wrinkling. Bedding items like pillows and duvets should be washed in an oversized or industrial washing machine. You want these items to agitate freely and rinse properly. By extension, make sure that the dryer you use is of adequate size. The duvet should tumble loosely so that the air can pass through it effectively. Select medium heat. You don’t want to scorch the duvet. Shake it out between dryer cycles to fluff the fill. It may take 2-3 cycles to completely dry. To maximize loft, add tennis balls in clean white cot ..
