So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Keeping Floors, Tiles and Grout Safe for Toddlers

By Rick Amorey

It is necessary to have your tiles and floor cleaned regularly, but it becomes doubly important when you have small children in the house. My little toddler loves to explore each and every corner of the house, and you'll see him crawling from one part of the room to another. So to keep all those bacteria and mold growth from reaching my child, I found it necessary to keep the tiles and grout cleaned.

Below are some tips that I have to help those keep their tile clean. I don't pretend to be an expert at such things, mind you; it's just that I found myself paying closer attention lately for the sake of my child. Also, make sure that you wear latex hand gloves and that you cover your face before you begin work. This way, you'll reduce the chance of inhaling the allergens.

*Clean both your tiles and grout regularly with a good quality cleaning solution, and polish it with disinfectant afterwards. Vinegar and baking soda may work as light cleaners, but I wouldn't advise them for the tougher stains. Use them only when you are cleaning more than normal.

*You'll want to make sure you have these materials on hand: hard (but not steel) brushes, cleaning solutions and a damp, white cloth to wipe the tiles dry after you finish. Having these right from the start will make your job easier and will avoid having to stop midway to improvise.

*If you notice damage in your grout, it's a wise choice to repair it with the right solution and tools. Seal the grout in carefully so the tile flooring will be undamaged while you work.

*A regular cleaning would be about once a week. With cleaning agents and warm water, clean the tiled area by spreading the cleaning solution with a rotary cleaner. This way, you'll be able to spread the liquid more evenly.

*Don't mix and match a lot of cleaners. Chemicals may react adversely to each other, so just sticking with one or a few will be advisable to prevent damage to your tiles.
