Fall Cleaning Just Important Than Spring Cleaning

The body content of While most people are familiar with the deep cleaning exercise commonly referred to as spring cleaning, it might surprise you that fall cleaning has benefits and advantages, too. There are special reasons to include fall cleaning into your schedule.

• Inspect for Pests- As the weather turns cooler, many pests are looking for a place to hunker down for the winter, and the warmth of your home is quite inviting. Fall cleaning to banish all freeloading pests, such as moths, spiders, and so forth, saves you from an uncomfortable moment when they come out for a snack and helps you avoid a springtime infestation when they get actively procreating again.

• Purge Time! The best way to avoid clutter is to have a dedicated purge time to get rid of things you don’t need. With the holidays coming, fall cleaning is the perfect opportunity to make room for new things that will show up under the tree or in Christmas stockings.

• Holiday Preparation- Speaking of the holidays, most families end up entertaining at some point or another during the holidays. You can feel confident that your home is pleasant and welcoming by taking care of a deep fall cleaning beforehand.

• Banish Summer Contaminants- With winter approaching, your home will be shut up tight. Do you really want to share the space with dust, dander, pollen, mites, dead skin cells, and other contaminants that accumulated over the summer?

• Prevent Winter Illness- Speaking of contaminants, germs and bacteria are a part of that and can contribute to those horrible winter colds that seem to take weeks to get rid of and mess up your holiday plans. With fall cleaning to wipe everything down and sanitize your home, your family can enjoy a healthier and happier winter.

The Iceman Cometh

By 7007269286 • November 9, 2023

We are not referring to the play by Eugene O’Neill (for more information, visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ The_Iceman_Cometh ). Ice is nice … in a drink or to skate on … but NOT in your home or business. Here in Omaha and Council Bluffs, we are all too familiar with the types of havoc that ice and fluctuating temperatures can wreak outside, in our streets and our yards. Sadly, some of us know that frozen pipes can have a devastating effect inside our homes as well. Frozen water expands, and when that ice is inside pipes, this can cause your pipes to crack. Then, once the ice melts, the water will seep out of the resulting openings. You can easily end up with a flood somewhere in your home. In light of recent extreme weather, you may have realized that there is little time left to prepare your home for winter weather. The American Red Cross recommends that homeowners drain water from swimming pools and sprinkler supply lines before temperatures drop. Hoses used outdoors should be drained and stored. Adding insulation to attics, crawl spaces and basements will also help. Another good idea is turning on an indoor faucet to a trickle in extreme freezing weather, using hot water if possible. You can also open the kitchen and bathroom sink cabinet doors on cold nights to allow the warmer air to enter those areas. The Weather Underground has additional recommendations to keep you safe during the winter months. Stock up on products to melt ice on walkways, sand for improved traction, snow shovels or other snow removal equipment, seasoned wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove. Make sure you have adequate clothing and blankets. Have a Family Plan to follow in case of emergencies, including contacts, meeting places and steps to take. Minimize travel, but keep a disaster supply kit in your vehicle. Should you have water damage due to this or any other reason, please call MAXIM Cleaning and Restoration at 402-697-9004.
