INSIDE CLEAN-UP TIP:
|
For wrapping holiday gifts, think of using scarves, holiday magazines, shopping bags, ties, clothing, newspapers and paper bags. Save what you get to re-use next year as well. |
 |
OUTSIDE CLEAN-UP TIP:
|
| Remove fallen leaves from gutters and around the foundation of the house to prevent mold and mildew from forming. Mulch and compost your leaves and place them around acid-loving plants and trees. |
