Newsletter
Fall 2010
Greetings!
      
     The change of seasons is a great time to clean and revamp your home and wardrobe. And why not put some systems in place to keep things that way. As always, here are more tips to recycle and news on safety and saving money.
 
Clean Drains and Dishwashers

drain

Keep drains clean with 1/2 bottle white vinegar and 1 small box baking soda once a month.

 

And for dishwashers, once a month use 1 bottle of white vinegar in your empty dishwasher to keep the drains and dishwasher clean.

Wardrobe Revamp

  
   Try on all your Fall and Winter clothes, mix and match outfits, have a friend come over to help or make a date with us! We help clients with wardrobes all the time. Editing, organizing, shopping. Together we can get a lot done in a 3 hour session.

   wardrobeEdit your wardrobe now as summer comes to an end, throw away everything stained, discolored, stretched out, worn out or with tags on for 1 year.
   As you add to your fall and winter wardrobe- delete! Check your shoes and boots- do they need to be re-soled, polished, water proofed or tossed?

Donate old coats and jackets to those in need.
