What comes to mind when you hear the words “spring cleaning?” That’s an easy one. This is the time when folks decide to do a thorough cleaning of their homes. Forget the once a week dusting and sweeping, a spring cleaning is a major floor to ceiling scrub down. No speck of dust or crumb of food should be left standing in a house that has gone through an intense spring cleaning. But there are some areas in a home that might be overlooked even with the best intentions. When was the last time you cleaned out your medicine cabinet?Believe it or not there is an actually day in May designated as National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This is the day when folks are encouraged to bring all their unwanted medicines into a designated drop off center for proper disposal. Of course, you could just toss out your expired pills but we all know our trashcans aren’t always secure. You might just be surprised about how many unused bottles of pills, potions and lotions you have lurking in your medicine cabinet.
Then there is the issue of cleaning your kitchen. Yes, we all know what a spotless kitchen should look like, but how are your pantry or cupboard shelves doing? Are you overstocked with canned goods? Are some of these items reaching the expiration date? You might consider going through your kitchen to look for canned or dry goods that you could donate to a local San Antonio food bank. These items are sure to be put to good use before they have a chance to expire.
Now, let’s talk your office. When was the last time your business had a major cleaning? Sure, you might have janitorial services come through to empty the trash and vacuum the floors, but is that really a spring cleaning? What about behind desks, under sofas and the dreaded storage closet! All of that can be swept through for a complete cleaning.
Back at your home, you might begin to create a pile of junk that is too large for your weekly trash pick. Think of this as the collateral damage of a spring cleaning. These large items could be anything from a ping-pong table nobody uses to busted up baby furniture that has long been outgrown. The reason we hang onto this junk has less to do with sentimental value and more to do with practicality: We just can’t move it. If you’ve reached the point in your spring cleaning when you’ve got junk that has to get gone, it’s time to call in the professionals.
An experienced crew of junk haulers like Junk King San Antonio can show up at the appointed hour with a huge truck and plenty of muscle to take away your refuse. There really is no sense to go through the hard work of a spring cleaning if you’re not going to clear out the clutter. Once this junk is gone you’ll marvel at the amount of space you can reclaim.
Any new visitor to San Antonio is sure to make a b-line right to the Alamo. It’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in the entire state. After they got their fix they might ask, “Now what?” For many the answer is a tour of the San Antonio River walk or Paseo del Rio, which actually is 20 feet below street level and just a few steps from the old fort itself. The River Walk is a winding sprawl of cafes, shops and museums along a 2 mile stretch of the San Antonio River that cuts right through downtown. A new project is under way to expand the River Walk up to 13 miles which will connect it to even more historic districts and prestigious museums. The River Walk offers up opportunities for a slow stroll along the banks to vibrant new life and of course amazing dining. Next to the Alamo, the River Walk has become the number two spot for visitors and locals alike to enjoy.
Way back in 1891, the folks of San Antonio wanted to find way to honor the heroes of the Texas Revolution so they came up with Fiesta San Antonio. Over the years, this celebration has evolved into a city-wide party running for several days. There are all kinds of tasty treats, art exhibits and parades filling up the days and nights.
Have you heard any things that go bump in the night coming from inside your home? Seriously, is your house making noises at night? We’re not talking the typical creaking and moaning that a house does when it “sighs” after a hard day of providing shelter. Instead, these are the noises of something creeping or crawling in the rafters. Not something you want to think about, but it’s a problem that San Antonio homeowners are constantly dealing with. One of the hot zones for nocturnal intruders is the attic. These critters find their way into the rafters and make themselves right at home. Part of the problem could be all that junk you have up in the attic; it’s just too easy to burrow into.
Here’s a simple question for all you garage owners out there: When was the last time you actually parked you car in your garage? Remember when you first considered buying the San Antonio home you’re living in now? If you talked about it to friends or family, you probably gave them the rundown of how many bedrooms and bathrooms there were. You knew the square footage and whether or not your kitchen appliances were new. Then there was the garage. This is always a big selling point especially if it’s a two car garage. That can only mean you’re achieved that level of success not only to have two cars, but to have a place to put them. So, you signed the contracts, put down your deposit and closed the deal. For many folks, they might have used that two car garage for parking their cars in the first week, but soon after that something else took over the garage: junk!
Can you ever imagine a time when you actually got to pick between a cheaper black & white television versus a color television? Or how about no color television at all? That’s how things started out in the television industry. Today, it’s all about high definition and flat plasma screens. As quick as a new version of a TV hits the market, you’re old set has become obsolete. That’s why many folks in the San Antonio area are trading in their old TV sets for newer models. But what happens to the one you’re not using anymore? It can’t fit into a garbage can and you don’t want to hang onto it. That’s why you should call up a local San Antonio 
Have you ever heard the saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s art?” Take a random tour of any San Antonio modern art gallery and you’ll find an amazing array of sculptures and paintings that incorporate what can best be described a garbage into art work. For these talented artists, everything is up for grabs: toilets, fast food wrappers, soda cans and even car parts. They all can provide inspiration for those artists that think outside of the box. Bigger pieces require bigger pieces of junk. Don’t be surprised to find a sculpture built around an old kitchen stove or sink. Could you turn your stove into a work of art? It could be fun to play around with, but what happens if it doesn’t turn out quite the way you’ve expected? You’ll then be left with a painted up stove that’s just sitting there being an eyesore. Maybe the better course of action is to leave the art to the artist and leave the old junk to a 
You’ve heard of the expression “If only these walls could talk.” Well, what about “If only this old couch could talk?” Any sofa in a house with an active family would have plenty to say. Of course you wouldn’t necessarily have to wait for it to actually talk when you can pretty much trace its personal history with all the special markings. There could be a wine stain from a past holiday party. Or a beer stain from a weekend football watching marathon. There might be traces of paw prints or cat scratches which bring to mind the active pets that made the couch their own. What about all those minor ink stains from pens used to write homework? And of course there is the typical amount of snack stains that have built up over the years. When you get right down to it, an old sofa can almost be considered a crime scene: all the evidence of your family’s history is right there to examine. Perhaps it’s time to swap out the old and bring in the new. If you’re ready to buy a new couch then you should also consider hiring a 
There are four doors we open every single day: the bathroom door, the bedroom door, the front door and the refrigerator door. It is conceivable that if you’re alone in the home, you can avoid opening the bedroom door or bathroom door and just leave them open all the time. You can also avoid the front door if you hunker down (not unheard of on a cold winter day). That leaves the refrigerator door. That one you cannot avoid opening. Even if it’s to look inside to see what you need from the grocery store, you’ll be opening and closing the fridge. Now add up how many times in a day you do this and its quick to see that refrigerator door is getting quite a work out throughout the year. Is it time for a new fridge? If so, it is also the perfect time to contact a
