The Best Garbage Disposal

The Best Garbage Disposal

best garbage disposal

If you like to spend time cooking in the kitchen then you are aware of the food waste that can pile up on the counter top and fill your trash can. Taking the garbage out isn’t any fun and, if you’re like me, you’ve probably let that waste linger for at least a few days.

Left unattended, discarded food can start to rot and create some pretty atrocious smells.

Before I had a garbage disposal installed under my sink I found that just the thought of cleaning up after a cooking session made the whole experience less enjoyable!

One day, a friend of mine suggested I get a food waste disposer to make the cleanup process so much easier. She raved about the unit that she had installed and, let me tell you, I am so glad that she told me about these amazing little machines! …Click Here to Continue Reading

A good night’s sleep is very near the top of my list for most important things in life. Trust me, if I’ve been tossing and turning all night you do not want to cross my path the next morning! I can’t always control the things that interfere with my sleep, but I can assure you that I will go to great lengths to make sure I have the softest and most comfortable surface to sleep on.

Unfortunately, it is insane how much it costs to purchase a comfortable mattress these days! I’ve literally spent days wandering around my local mattress stores trying out all of the different options only to walk away disappointed that I couldn’t afford the bed that I really want. I usually end up settling for a product that is relatively comfortable and much more affordable.

For years I tried adding extra sheets and blankets to my bed to make it more comfortable, but it never really helped all that much. It wasn’t until I stayed in my girlfriend’s guest bedroom one night that my entire understanding of comfortable sleep surfaces changed forever. Believe me, it was like the gates of sleep surface heaven opened up and I was suddenly enlightened! …Click Here to Continue Reading

Vacuuming the floors is an inescapable reality of life kind of like death and taxes. Fortunately, these days there are several different types of vacuum cleaners across all price ranges that make the task less of a hassle and possibly even enjoyable for some. While most of us routinely vacuum our floors in order to keep the house looking nice and smelling fresh, this practice will also extend the life of most types of flooring by removing dirt and debris that can accumulate and cause damage over time. 

Selecting the best vacuum cleaner for your home can be extremely difficult given the wide range of products currently available on the market. Before making a decision, it’s important to consider the type of flooring that you’ll be cleaning and the features that you value in a vacuum cleaner. If you’ll be cleaning carpet and you have pets that shed or leave stains, then you’ll likely want to purchase a wet vacuum that uses water and detergent to extract as much dirt and debris as possible. These vacuums are effective on carpet and often come with an upholstery attachment that will allow you to clean certain types of furniture, rugs, and vehicle interiors. …Click Here to Continue Reading

The Best Dehumidifier

If you’ve ever set foot inside a house and noticed a musty or earthy smell that made you think of a damp basement then you’ve likely been exposed to mold. That odor is characteristic of mold and can be a sign that there is a serious problem. Humidity can be a wonderful thing outdoors, but can create the ideal environment for mold to grow. A large colony can cause significant structural damage to a house and might even lead to health problems for some individuals.

I hadn’t really considered how moisture in the air might be damaging my home or affecting my health until I noticed some cute fuzzy black mold on the walls in my basement and in my closets.

A few of my friends had mentioned that they thought my house smelled a bit musty, but I didn’t think much of it since I had become so accustomed to it and couldn’t detect the odor.

Needless to say, the sight of that lovely mold growing on my walls sure got my attention! …Click Here to Continue Reading

If you’re like me, then you love using jewelry to complement your outfit and express your personality. When I first started wearing jewelry, I had a small collection and I didn’t need a special box or cabinet to keep track of each piece. As my collection grew, I found that I was spending a lot of time sifting through a jumbled mess just to find the perfect piece. That’s when I realized I was going to need an organizer if I was going to keep my sanity.

Today, there are many different types of organizers in all shapes, sizes, and colors. If you have a small to medium sized collection, then you probably won’t need a large armoire or cabinet and you may find that a simple jewelry box is sufficient. As your collection grows, you might want to upgrade to an armoire.

There are several options available and you should carefully consider the features that are important to you before making a purchase. Some of the more important factors to think about include where you want to place the organizer, how much storage capacity you need, whether or not it can be locked, and how concerned you are with the quality of the workmanship. …Click Here to Continue Reading
