Store Food in the Fridge Properly

Did you know that you should keep your dairy on the upper shelf of your fridge? That’s’ because the temperatures are the most constant. Your meat should always go on the bottom in case there is any accidental leakage. Much easier to clean up one shelf than all the shelves. Take the time to clear out all the expired foods and old condiments. Once everything is cleaned out, get into the habit of grouping things together on inside shelf doors. You can also use plastic containers as a kind of makeshift drawer. It is easy to slide out the container to find a jar than constantly rearranging those jars.

Maximize Pantry Space

Some kitchens have separate pantry rooms while others utilize pantry cabinets. In either scenario, you want to make things easy to reach and find. You can incorporate Lazy Susans and more clear storage containers to hold all your canned goods, spices and packages. The back a pantry door is a good spot for one of those over-the-door shoe holders. Those can now hold favorite family snacks, seasoning mixes and a lot more.

Create Kitchen Work Zones

When creating a work zone for the kitchen think triangle. The three points are fridge, oven and sink. Keeping what you need to cook close to those zones will help with the process. You don’t want dishes near the stove or pots next to the sink. The ultimate goal would be able to get what you need blindfolded!

Remove Clutter

As you go through your cabinets and drawers to organize, you’ll be tossing out a lot of clutter. However, there might be some items you don’t want to throw in the trash or they won’t fit in the trash. That is when to call in Junk King Monterey. Everything Junk King collects has a chance to get dropped off at a charity. That means your things won’t be wasted.

Will Your Garden Be Ready For Spring?

Part of what makes Monterey such a great place to live is the pride that homeowners take in their property. You can see that pride on full display outside starting with the gardens.

Collect Rain Fall

Rain is always an issue in California. There is a lot all at once and then long periods of dry spells. That mean you need to do the extra watering for your garden. Those efforts can be helped by collecting rainwater. A barrel can be position under your rainspout to collect gallons after every storm. That water will go a long way towards keeping your garden fed all spring long.

Fix Stakes and Trellis

Part of your garden might involve stakes and trellis. Now is the time to make sure those items have survived the winter and are ready to be put to use again. This is also a good time to move those things around if you want to reconfigure your garden area.

Clean Gardening Tools

Tools matter even in gardening. You want to make sure your garden tools are sharp and clean for the season. If they are rusty, then you might want to think about replacing them. Whatever is on the tools could make its way into your garden.

Create a Composting Area

Seasoned gardeners know the value of a compost area. This can be set up in a small bin or as a separate plot of your garden. Once it is set up, the compost area is a great spot for any organic waste from your kitchen and your actual garden. The goal is to keep the compost aerated. Before long, you’ll have nutrient rich fertilizer that your entire garden will benefit from.

Getting your garden ready for spring might require some heavy lifting. That is a job best left to Junk King Monterey.

Think of the gardening space you can reclaim once those things are gone. Let a rubbish hauling session from Junk King Monterey help you get your garden ready for spring.

Junk Hauling That Matters

There are probably a half a dozen items in your home that you’d like to get rid of. These objects can range in size or weight but what they all have in common is that they can’t go into a trashcan. It stands to reason that if you have something to get rid of you should just be able to give it to the weekly garbage collectors. Unfortunately, things don’t work that easily. The city isn’t inclined to pick up bulk items at random. Even when you do schedule a pickup, there are all kinds of restrictions. The least of these is the fact that you have to drag whatever you want take away down to the curb. That’s not always practical. A much better approach to this type of job is to hire a professional company that will be dedicated to providing you with quality junk removal services on your terms. For junk hauling that matters, you can always rely on Junk King Monterey.

Make Smart Home Improvement Decisions

The money you invest in a home improvement project will be directly tied into your home’s value. That will come into play when you reach the point where you want to sell you home. Before that, you might refinance a mortgage and smart home improvement projects will help with the appraisal. Here are some home improvement projects that provide a decent return on your investment.

Bonus Room Updates

A bonus room is that area in your home that you’ve upgraded from its original condition. Maybe you finished the basement to make it into a family room. You could have converted your attic into a guest bedroom. Even a screened in deck on your patio would be considered a bonus room. Those are all going to be great selling features. Anytime you can add a bedroom or any room, you’ll be able to boost your home’s value.

Living Room Updates

Remember that the home improvements you make need to be the things you would “leave behind.” You can buy new furniture to make your living room nicer but you’ll be taking that furniture with you. However, you could redo the floors or replace carpeting, add crown molding and upgrade electrical outlets. Those are the kinds of details that won’t cost a lot but can ultimately provide a solid return on your investment.

Bedroom Updates

Again, think about what you’re going to leave behind. In the bedroom, you might opt for replacing lighting with dimmers or adding a ceiling fan. Here you might also consider redoing the floors as part of the improvement. If you can upgrade you closets with better storage shelving, then that could be very attractive to prospective buyers.

All of the improvements suggested above are minor fixes. You can also go for the bigger projects like a kitchen or bathroom remodel. Before diving into those, talk to a realtor to find out what is popular with the buyers.

Of course, one of the easiest home improvement projects you can undertake is to get rid of all the rubbish that is cluttering up cabinets, closets, the garage and attic. Do you really need all the stuff you’re holding onto? Junk King Monterey can help with that clean up. It will only take one appointment with Junk King Monterey to haul away all the stuff that is cluttering up your home. That is an improvement project that is always worth making.

Senior Proof Your Home The Right Way

Getting a home ready for seniors is a lot like getting a home ready for a toddler. There are a lot of potential hazards for both groups that might not be obvious. The best approach to take is to inspect those areas in the home with a “worst case scenario” perspective. Whatever the worst thing you can imagine happening, try to stop it from happening. Consider these tips to senior proof your home:

interior-1961070_1280

For the Bathroom

Water and floors are a bad combination. Anytime you run a shower or bath you run the risk of a slip. That is why the tub and the floors need to have non-slip mats. It also helps to have grip bars to assist getting in and out of the tub.

For the Living Room

Living rooms will often be filled with a lot of tables, chairs, ottomans and cords. These all need to be reevaluated. Is there a clear path from one room to the next? What about from the TV to the sofa? Any piece of furniture that is low to the ground could become a tripping hazard. The same can be said for throw rugs that aren’t properly secured to the floor. Although it might seem convenient to run electric cords under the rug, those can actually be another potential tripping hazard.

It is also important to replace any piece of furniture that is wobbly. Remember, getting up and down from a sofa and chair requires strong armrests. You should always inspect those for any damage.

For the Hallways and Stairs

The pathways around the entire house also need to be inspected for any lose rugs, cords or other potential tripping hazards. This is the time to get rid of all the clutter from stacks of magazines to unused furniture. A call to Junk King Monterey can help with this task. A junk removal session with this company will be staffed by two strong and friendly movers. This is the team that is going to do all the heavy lifting for you. That includes carrying anything down from upstairs. That is going to make a huge difference around the house. If you want to senior proof your home, then you’ll want to hire Junk King Monterey today.

How To Make Your Guestroom Holiday Ready

Preparations for the holidays are kicking into high gear. Do you even remember Thanksgiving at this point? It is time to focus on all the coming and goings that will be happening in the next few weeks. Top priority: Get your guestroom holiday ready for out of town visitors. That is easy to accomplish with a few simple tasks:

bedroom-382152_960_720

Check the Mattress

The last time someone slept in the guestroom bed was probably the last time you had overnight guests. It’s not as if you take naps in there when you’re bed is available. It might have been an entire year since you changed the sheets from the last visit. That means it is time to strip the bed and get freshly laundered sheets, pillowcases and blankets on that bed. Double-check the pillows to make sure they’re still fluffy.

Clear Out the Closet

Your out of town guests will need some space in the closet and/or guestroom dresser. This is a perfect opportunity to get rid of outfits you’re never going to wear again. Just think of how much more room you’ll have when you’ve gone through everything.

Stock the Fridge

Check in with your out of town visitor to see what preferences they might have regarding drinks and snacks. That is especially true for the morning. Are they a coffee person or a tea person? You can even set up a mini coffee station in the kitchen with all the things they would need in the morning for a fresh cup of java.

Remove the Rubbish

Since the last time you had guests a year ago, that guestroom could have become filled up with a lot of “cast offs” from around the house. This is usually where things like old chairs, TVs and other storage items end up. You don’t want your guest sleeping in a room full of junk. Sounds like a big job but it’s not when you hire Junk King Monterey. The two-man crew assigned to your junk removal session can swoop in and clear out that guestroom in no time at all. They can also gather up all the discarded clothing items from the closet. Junk King can drop off all of that stuff at a local charity. Getting your guestroom ready begins with a call to Junk King Monterey.

Get Your Home Ready For The Holidays

At times, it seems like getting your home ready for the holidays could be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As long as you take an organized and methodical approach to prepping your home and then it won’t seem to be too big of a job. The goal is to do a little bit each day in the coming week and then you’ll be decked out in time for Christmas. Here’s what you should consider:

Light Up Your Doorways

If you expect a lot of visitors over the holidays, then you’ll want to make sure your doorways are well lit. Not only should you make sure you’re swapping out the old incandescent bulbs for warm LED bulbs but also make sure your Christmas lights are secured. You don’t want them blowing off in the wind.

Inspect Your Appliances

This is the time of year that you want to make sure everything in your kitchen is in working order. There is going to be a lot of baking and cooking coming up the following weeks and you don’t want anything breaking down. Of course, an appliance that isn’t working or one that’s missing is a perfect excuse to make a special request of Santa. You might also want to think about buying a separate freezer. This is a smart investment given how much you can stock in there and not just during the holidays. A backup freezer can be placed in the garage without taking up a lot of room. You’ll find yourself buying a lot more in bulk this way and that’s a good thing.

Fireproof Your Home

If you have a fireplace, then you should make sure you have your annual fireplace clean up. Getting your hearth and chimney inspected by a pro is a good way to prevent accidents. But it is not just a fireplace that you need to be aware of. Make sure if you light a candle that you put it out before leaving the room. You don’t want those burning overnight. Hopefully, you swapped out your smoke alarm batteries at the last daylight saving time. If not, then add that to your list.

Get Rid Of Rubbish

Before you put up one sprig of Holly or string one strand of lights you want to make sure that all the rubbish is removed from your home. Even though you might not be decorating your garage with the inside of your closets, it’s going to help to clear out that clutter and make more room for other things. To get that job done you only have to hire Junk King Monterey. These are the junk removal pros who can remove all kinds of furniture, appliances, electronics and other household goods. Make sure your home is merry and bright for the holidays by getting rid of the junk first. Junk King Monterey can take care that!

There are some people who purposely wait until Christmas Eve to do all their shopping. They wear their procrastination as a badge of honor. On The other end of the scale, there are folks who relish getting everything done long before the first piece of tinsel goes on to the Christmas tree. Perhaps the best approach to getting ready for the holidays is to fall somewhere in between the two. It never hurts to do as much as you can before things get hectic. That’s why a junk removal session with Junk King Monterey in the coming weeks is a good way to make sure your home will be junk free for the holidays.
