Can you tell a cook by how messy their kitchen gets? During the actual prep work and cooking it’s common to create splashes and spills. The best approach is a “clean as you go” plan that has you staying on top of all the utensils you’re using. However, there are times when cleaning as you go isn’t practical and that would be when the oven is going full blast. You simply have to wait until the range cools down before you can tackle a spill otherwise it might crack. The best bet for oven cleaner is either a commercial cleaner, ammonia or common baking soda.
Be careful with what type of sponge or clothe you use for the clean up to avoid scratches. You should get into the habit of wiping down the stovetop every day. If your oven gets crusty after cooking try and clean it before your next big meal otherwise you’ll find unwanted smoke wafting out.
Those are all common sense cleaning tips but all of your due diligence with cleaning won’t matter if your stove simply isn’t functioning. Like other appliances in your kitchen a stove is not meant to last a lifetime. After 8 to 10 years it might be time to make the switch. That can actually be a good thing because the newer models of stoves are designed to be more energy efficient. You can also step up your cooking game by getting an oven that is convection. That provides for the heat to circulate through your food for more even cooking. All the master chefs go convection!
After you’ve picked out your new stove you’re going to need to get rid of the old one. This is not a complicated operation when you hire Junk King Sacramento to get the job done. That holds for getting rid of your stove and any other junk item. Folks who have used Junk King are singing their praises.
“Junk King is a fantastic service! Especially when you don’t have the time or energy to make multiple trips to the dump or host a garage sale,” writes Morgan of Placervill. “One thing I especially like about Junk King is that they recycle much of what is collected. I like eco-conscious companies. Fair price too.”
Lori from El Dorado Hills has a similar positive experience, “New to the area I have used Junk King twice for removal of junk. The two guys ( Daryl and Rob) that came out both times could not have been more pleasant and efficient,” she writes. “They called prior to arriving and were prompt. After the removal they swept up the area so that everything was tidy. I will turn to Junk King for any jobs I have in the future. Job well done!”

What makes the perfect lawnmower? The answer to that question comes down to a matter of personal preference. Obviously, you have to consider your own terrain and what works best for your grass but you certainly have plenty of mower types to pick from.
One look around Sacramento and it’s easy to see that you’re in “Redwood Country.” Just from a visual perspective, redwood is a bold and striking type of wood whether it’s being used for a porch, deck or single piece of furniture. For outdoor use, Redwood definitely has an edge over composite lumber when it comes to retaining heat: The redwood is going to be cooler in hotter temperatures.
The air freshener industry brings in around $2 billion every year. That’s a lot of scents. Of course, the best air freshener is the actual air itself. Are you ready to throw open your windows and let the cool breeze flow into your home? If you’re looking for a bit more pizzazz in your air try soaking a cotton ball with essential oils (pick your favorite) and putting that natural freshener in a corner of the room.
It doesn’t cost anything to get an estimate for a kitchen remodel. At least it shouldn’t. If you put out the call to a couple of contractors you’ll be amazed at the variety of estimates you’ll be getting. Before setting up your first estimate appointment you should have some sense of what you want accomplished. You can get a pretty good idea of what your options are by taking a tour of a showroom at your nearest Home Depot. Then see what the contractors have in mind. You’ll want to find a contractor that is equal parts creative and someone you can work alongside without feeling intimidated. This doesn’t mean you’ll be swinging a hammer (unless you want to!) but you should be able to make adjustments along the way is something isn’t to your liking.
Back in the day, when a convict was sentenced to hard labor that usually meant busting up rocks. They would either bring the rocks to the prison or take the prisoners to the rocks. Then they would spend all day toiling away at making big rocks into smaller rocks. There was really no other reason for this other than to give the prisoners something to do to occupy their days. Those hard labor policies were abolished when it was proved that it fell under the category of “cruel and unusual punishment.” Do you have some “big rocks” that need busting up? Don’t break your back. Instead, hire Junk King and let them take the punishment out of concrete disposal.
A wonderful resolution for the New Year could involve your home and that would be to make it green. Yes, a lovely coat of green paint would be nice but we’re really talking about putting eco-friendly policies into effect that will help lower your monthly bills and be a big plus for Sacramento.

It was a very good year for the Sacramento-based Raley’s grocery stores. So good in fact that they got into the giving spirit of the holiday by donating over 100,000 pounds of turkey, chicken and ham to needy families all throughout the region.

Here in the U.S., the day after Christmas is a lot like the day after Thanksgiving only in reverse. Instead of shoppers looking for bargains, a lot of folks are returning presents. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any sales to be had. In fact, retailers might just save the best prices for the end of the year. In England, the day after Christmas is known as Boxing Day. Tradition holds that this is the day when the Lords of the manor would give their servants presents or a Christmas box. It has evolved into a national holiday in Great Britain which makes for a bonus day after Christmas for all government workers.
