- When using caulk to seal the joint between the wall tile and a bathtub, fill the tub with water first. The weight of the water will open the gap to the size it’ll be when the tub is in use. Otherwise, the caulk’s seal could break the first time you take a bath.
- Fresh is best! Prepare your bedroom for cold weather with freshly laundered winter linens and blankets and a clean mattress pad. Save yourself a step next spring and wash summer linens before you store them away. Not only will they be clean when you reach for them, but if you use lavender sachets in the closet or between the linens while stored, moths will be less attracted to the space.
- If you want to give your kitchen a quick and inexpensive makeover without overhauling the entire room, simply paint your cabinets. Painting your cabinet doors can change the feel of the entire space.

The best way to rid your siding of dirt build up, leaves, and other unwanted debris is to pressure wash it. Pressure washing machines are fairly expensive to buy, but most home improvement stores rent them out. Be careful when pressure washing wood; there are certain nozzles that you should use to clean the wood that won’t damage it. If you are uncertain how the siding will react to the pressure washer then test it on a very small spot first. The pressure washer can be used to clean the exterior of your home or to prep it for painting.
