5 Ways To Clean The Halls Before You Deck The Halls

Can you believe it's that time again? The holiday season - the time of the year that brings on many emotions including joy, anticipation, sadness and even loneliness. There are even times that we're just plain tired and don't want to do anything even though we may have tons of things around the house that need to be done.

R U Looking? always suggest that you make your home a peaceful place that you want to come home to and this is especially true during this time of year so that you can relax after a long day at work or even at the mall.

R U Looking? recommends that this is the perfect time of the year to do your fall cleaning. This will include some underneath cleaning, but if you did some detailed cleaning earlier in the year you won't have to do as much before you deck the halls. Below are 5 tips to help you get the job done:

1. Check your cleaning schedule to determine what was done in the spring and decide what needs to be done now. Many times we hate to ask for help because we don't want people to know what we are going through or how we're living. Don't be afraid to ask a friend or someone that you know is organized and does certain tasks in their home for help.
2. Take this opportunity to be a blessing to someone by giving them any usable household items or clothing that you haven't used in a while and discard or donate the rest.
3. When sorting decorations, check all your closets and/or storage areas and discard any broken items or decorations that you no longer plan to use.
4. Do your monthly check-ups as needed and check those closed off areas. 
5. Decorate your "halls" to your liking and enjoy the holidays!

Before you deck the halls this holiday season ask yourself - R U Looking? Are You Seeing What's Really There? R U Looking? has tried and true tips that, if followed, will leave you with a cleaner home. Books are on sale now and they make the perfect stocking stuffer. Get your copy today!

Spring Has Sprung: Time to Deep Clean

As the season changes and the days become longer, we tend to open the windows in our homes and let the sunshine come in. As we enter into March, we want to remind any of you who made resolutions to de-clutter this year to get back on track. This time of year is a great time to begin spring cleaning.

Major “underneath” cleaning should be done twice per year and spring is usually the first time of the year that we roll up our sleeves to do it. Some things on the “to do” list can range from washing and painting baseboards, stripping floors and applying a new coat of wax to moving and cleaning underneath appliances and large furniture.

In our book, R U Looking? you will find a list of other things to consider when spring cleaning. The list is not exhaustive and you may not have to do everthing that we suggest. As you go through the list however, you will learn to see what's really in your home and you can identify any problem areas and begin to transform the look of your home from floor to ceiling!

3 Ways to Clean Up Your Attitude (Excerpt from R U Looking?)

Now that your mind is clear and the weight is off, it's easier to see that it does not always matter how you do something, but the attitude you have while doing it makes all the difference in the world.

1.Check yourself before you wreck yourself! Do a self-examination and let go of unnecessary burdens. If it won't matter in five years, it shouldn't matter today. Be grateful that you have someone to pick up after!

2.Focus in on what you have to do in your home and with the right attitude, you won't believe what you will get done. Now put on your favorite music and dance or sing your way to a cleaner home.

3.Make a conscious decision to choose a positive attitude every day because it can take you many places and open numerous doors for you. A clean home means less stress, opportunities for entertaining and no more clutter!

Clean up your attitude and you'll be able to clean up your home!

2010 Cleaning Revolution

One definition of revolution is a complete and radical change of any kind. As we go into a new year, we have many things on our list that we want to do differently. Somehow, we never quite make it through that list.

Tip for the month: Declutter

It doesn't matter how much or how little we have in our homes, making it a home we want to be in or come home to makes it so much easier to deal with whatever issues we have to face. Start today and declutter one room at a time. Choose the room in your home that you want to radically change. Decluttering physically can also help you declutter mentally. Things to do:

1. Make three categories: keep, donate or trash.
2. Don't move your stuff from one room to another. Throw it away!
3. Clean and decorate that room.

Take your time. Remember, you still have eleven months to finish all the other rooms! Get your copy of
