Spring Cleaning and You!

As Spring Cleaning time approaches, there are always a few important things that frequently get forgotten…

Ceiling Fans:  Change the direction of your ceiling fans.  The counterclockwise direction provides a refreshing breeze during warm months, while the clockwise position creates an upward draft, which redistributes warm air.  Most ceiling fans have a switch on the base to adjust the rotation.
Bed:  Turn over and rotate your mattress to distribute wear evenly.
Medical:  Update your first aid kit. 
Refrigerator:  Remove all the contents of the refrigerator and wipe down the sides and shelves.  Throw out all expired food and condiments.  Put the food back, wiping off jars and containers thoroughly. 
Smoke Detector/Air Filter:  Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.  Replace your air filter.
Plants:  Give your dusty house plants a bath.  Wash small plants in lukewarm water in a sink and larger plants in a shower.  Let them drip-dry before placing them in the sun.
Recipe Book:  Update your recipe book by adding your new favorites and throwing out anything you have had but haven’t used in 1 year.
Filing Cabinet:  Clean out any documents that you no longer need and bring them to the WORTHINGTON HATCHER HARBISON TEAM’S FREE SHREDDING EVENT on April 21st from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.  We will have a shredding truck on site to destroy your documents while you watch.  Call (702) 777-1234 for more details!
