Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling
real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the
aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to
stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior
is just as important as a comfortable interior.

Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve
the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, any-
one’s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean up
A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly
acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s ex-
terior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to
give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs,
plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible
and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store
garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight.
Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn
across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve
curb appeal instantly.

Spruce up the lawn
A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a
home more appealing. If your thumb is anything but green,
hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you
establish a lush, green lawn.

Dress to impress
The entryway to a home is the ?rst thing visitors will see.
Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A
pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea
of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful
wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior
design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents,
such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb
appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta
pot and ?lling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and
functional.

Rely on symmetry
Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange.
Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your proper-
ty. Symmetrical use of lighting ?xtures, plants, trees, and
decorative items really can have an impact.

Don’t forget lighting
Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property.
Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to
illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a
dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your proper-
ty always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable
both day and night.
Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how
others view your home.

Treating Lawns During

Drought or Dry Periods

“Drought” can be a four-letter word to many lawncare en-
thusiasts. Homeowners who put in the hours and hard work
to create beautiful, lush lawns can see the fruits of all their
labor gradually disappear when drought sets in. That can be
both frustrating to homeowners and detrimental to long-term
lawn health.

Treating lawns during drought or dry periods can be tricky,
as some homeowners may be forced to adhere to water re-
strictions established by their local governments. Still, there
are some ways to obey the law and still help lawns withstand
drought and dry periods.

· Postpone fertilizer applications. Fertilizers are designed
to help grass grow, but growing grass needs water it won’t
have access to when water restrictions have been put in
place. If a lawn needs to be fertilized during drought or dry
periods, homeowners should consult with lawncare profes-
sionals, who may have experience applying fertilizer during
drought. Professionals also may have access to more fertil-
izing products than homeowners will ?nd at nearby lawn and
garden centers.

· Pull weeds by hand instead of applying herbicides. Her-
bicides are substances used to destroy unwanted vegeta-

Storing eggs at room temperature may cause them to de-

How to Streamline
Household Cleaning

jmcarpentrylimited.com • Fredericksburg, Ohio 44627 Travel down the cleaning aisle of a neighborhood
store and you will be met with product after product
designed for specialized cleaning. There are sprays
for windows, cleansers for electronics, carpet-cleaning
foams, and scouring solutions for tubs and showers. Al-
though many of these are effective, the average person
can rely on just one cleaning aid for a wide variety of
tasks: vinegar.

Vinegar is a versatile product that can be used in ev-
erything from cooking to pickling to preserving foods
to household cleaning. Vinegar is made by two distinct
biological processes, offers The Vinegar Institute. Via
fermentation, yeast will ?rst change the natural sugars
in the vinegar-to-be material solution into alcohol. The
second process involves a group of bacteria called “ac-
etobacter,” which convert the alcohol into an acid.

Vinegar can be made from any fruit or natural material
containing sugar. For the purpose of generalized clean-
ing, white vinegar is the most common type used and
is typically made from corn.Utilizing vinegar around the
house is quite simple, and can be used in various ways
around the house.

· Remove lime buildup. Vinegar is good for cleaning
faucets and showerheads. Make a paste of one tea-
spoon of vinegar and two tablespoons of salt. Apply to
sink ?xtures and rub with a cloth. Fill a plastic baggie
with vinegar and attach to the showerhead with a rubber
band. Let sit a few hours to overnight and then rinse
away the mineral deposits.

· Brighten laundry. Add 1/2 cup white vinegar to the
wash cycle. It will help loosen stains and brighten cloth-
ing. An added bene?t is the acid will reduce static cling.

· Disinfect cutting boards. Give cutting boards an ex-
tra cleaning by spraying them with straight vinegar, then
rinsing to clean.

· Clean the disposal. Make sure food residue doesn’t
clog garbage disposals and lead to odor. Mix vinegar
and baking soda in the drain and allow the bubbling ac-
tion to remove built-up residue. Use a scrub brush for
extra scouring.

· Get streak-free windows. Mix a 50-50 solution of vin-
egar and water in a spray bottle. Use to clean windows
and other glass surfaces. Wipe away with a micro?ber
cleaning cloth so no lint is left behind.

· Eradicate pet odor. Pour a little bit of vinegar into an
empty litter box. Let stand for around 20 minutes, then
rinse with cold water. Vinegar also can be used to blot
up pet stains on the carpet. Just test color-fastness in
an inconspicuous area ?rst.

· Banish water stains. Fix water stains and rings on
wood furniture by mixing equal parts vinegar and olive
oil. Use a soft cleaning cloth moving in the direction of
the wood grain. Polish using a clean cloth.

Vinegar can be used all around the house - these
were just a few of the dozens of ways to rely on vinegar.
Just steer clear of using it on natural stone and marble,
as the acid could cause damage.
