Blueberry Season Is Here!

Basket of Blueberrieds

  

Did you know that along with the blueberry's extreme popularity for flavor it also ranked in the U.S. diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. Did you also know that as one of the few fruits native to North America, blueberries have been enjoyed by Native Americans for hundreds of years. They have also enjoyed great popularity around the world in cuisines from Asia to the Mediterranean. This and additional facts and information about the blueberry can be obtained by visiting whfoods.org.

 

In the meantime I'd like to share my own flaky pie crust recipe...

Red Wine Stain Removal

 

Red Wine
 

Has your date night at home ever been disrupted by a glass of red being spilled on the carpet? Here's the great news, when treated properly, wine stains are actually quite treatable. The natural pigments from the grapes in wine are water-based acidic dyes. Consider giving OxiClean a try by following the steps below and you might possibly save that date night after all!

*As with all stains, the more quickly you can treat a stain the better the results.

 

Non-wool Carpet
(Do not use on wool carpeting and always test first on an inconspicuous area before using).


1. Remove as much of the excess stain as possible.
2. Mix OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover powder with water (as directed on packaging). Be sure that powder is completely dissolved.
3. Apply only enough solution to completely saturate the stain. Wait 1 to 5 minutes. Do not allow to dry.
4. Blot well to remove excess moisture with a clean, dry white towel.
5. Repeat as necessary.
6. Rinse well with clean water and blot-dry thoroughly.
7. Allow to dry, then vacuum.  

Town & Country Services

 

Did you know Town & Country Services does more than just clean carpets? We also specialize in the following areas:

 

 

Grout Stone, Tile, and Grout Cleaning
Soil gets trapped in the pores of your stone, tile, and grout and causes the surface to look dark and blotchy. This dark and dirty look in your tile and grout is virtually impossible to remove with traditional cleaning processes. Town & Country Services can make your stone, tile, and grout look like it was just freshly laid with a thorough cleaning. After the cleaning process, we can apply a sealer which will leave your stone, tile and grout resistant to spills and stains. It will also be easier to clean. And it's not just flooring. This service includes the cleaning and protecting of stone and tile bathrooms, granite and marble countertops, and masonry floors.

 

 

Dirt Oriental and Area Rug Cleaning

How much dirt is in YOUR area rug? Because of the dense pile construction of area rugs, dirt particles work there way down through the fibers to the backing foundation of the rug where they cannot be easily removed by ordinary vacuuming. This loose dry grit wreaks havoc on your rugs delicate fibers, causing a cutting abrasive action as you walk on your rug. Other types of soil including food particles and pet oils "hide" in the dense pile, making your rug a haven for germs, bacteria and other nasty creatures such as dust mites. All rugs should be cleaned by a professional on a regular basis to keep your rugs healthy and to protect your investment.
  
  
Upholstery Upholstery Cleaning
Think about how much dust would accumulate on a table if it were never dusted. That same amount is on your upholstered furniture. Gritty matter blows in through open windows and doors and impregnates itself in your furniture cushions and backs. Then when you sit on it, the oils from your skin compress the soil into the fabric. Combine this with the pollen, food crumbs, dust mites, and their nasty fecal matter and your furniture is literally awash with soil. Often used upholstered furniture needs to be professionally cleaned at least once a year.
