Although this may seem like a given, many homeowners know and understand that in order to minimize the amount of allergens and bacteria you and your family are being exposed to that you must frequently clean your home but have you ever thought about how you clean your house to keep your furry friends happy and healthy, too? It’s true, our furry friends are affected by the environment we live in because, of course, they live there, too!

An overcrowding of junk in a home where animals live can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, in addition to, being a detriment to your animal’s emotions. Below are popular allergens that can affect your pet’s health.

Dust mites – These allergens are a common trigger of asthma and allergy symptoms. Dust mites can be found throughout the house in warm, humid environments like bedding, furniture and carpeting. We suggest washing your bedding often, getting rid of old furniture and vacuuming and washing your carpet occasionally.

Indoor molds – This particular allergy along with mildew are often found in damp places, typically the basement, bathroom or a place where a leak has occurred. You can get rid of and prevent mold by wiping your surfaces with water and a little bleach. Then allow the area to dry completely.

The leaves are beginning to fall off of the trees and the cooler winter temperatures are rolling in. That means it’s time to prepare your plants and garden for the winter. We care about your lawn and garden at Mr. Junk and this is why we’ve taken the time to put together a guide to help you find what you should be planting this month. Remember to keep us in mind when you’re clearing out your fall lawn and garden debris. Check it out!

November and December are great months to get ready for the new year. Spreading manure, rotted sawdust and leaves over your garden and plowing them under – don’t forget to save those plants for a compost heap!

Now, it’s time to take inventory. Everybody loves to save money, right? If you like to get the most for your money, taking inventory at the end of the year can save you a lot of money next gardening season. Maybe you had too much of some vegetables and not enough of others – or maybe there were some unnecessary “skips” in the supply. Now is a great time to make a note about favorite varieties and start planning next year’s garden now.

Look around at your gardening tools and see what needs to be replaced, then hint for those as a Christmas gift. 🙂

The temperature is dropping and the leaves are beginning to fall off of the trees, and soon winter will be here. If you haven’t done so already, take advantage of the mild fall temperatures and get your shed ready to take on winter 2016.

The amount of preparation you put into getting your shed ready for the winter depends on how much you use the shed. If the shed has a number of valuables that cannot last in cold temperatures, you’d want to prep your shed for the winter more than someone that only has garden tools in their shed.

Now is a good time to check the floors and walls of the shed to survey the foundation of the shed. Clean up any tools while they are outside and empty the gas on any motorized garden tools, like lawnmowers and leaf blowers. Don’t forget to cover up your garden tools once you’ve put them back inside. Any summertime tools that won’t be needed should be stored in the back and wintry tools should be stored near the front for easy access.

Get rid of old tools that didn’t make it through this year and that you won’t be using next year. Just give our team a call and we’ll have it gone in little to no time at all. With over 10 years of full-service junk removal experience, our team is always ready to assist you.

The phrase “there’s no place like home,” can truth for many people especially when their home is clean. With over 10 years of junk removal experience, our team at Mr. Junk know the value of a clean home, but do you? Take a look at a few perks of having a clean home below.

Although this one may seem like a given, many homeowners know and understand that in order to minimize the allergens and bacteria you and your family are being exposed to that you must frequently clean your home. Cleaning with disinfectants reduces bacteria, keeping you and your family healthy. Without cleaning, allergens like dust mites, pet allergens and indoor mold can make its way into your home and begin to take a toll on you, your family’s and even your furry friend’s health. Cleaning your home also reduces your risk of coming in contact with these allergens.

As I’m sure you can imagine, having a clean home also helps minimize stress. Not only is cleaning a good stress-reducer but having a clean home also lowers your stress levels and leaves your home neat and organized. Everyone loves coming home to a clean home after a long day of work, right? Having an organized home also means finding things more easily, which leads to less daily stress (especially when you’re running out the door).

These are just a couple of the many perks that come with having a clean home. For more information about our junk services at Mr. Junk, visit our website or give us a call at (678)MR-JUNK1.

Fall is in full swing and Halloween is right around the corner. At Mr. Junk, we love to see all of the creative ways are customers like to decorate their yard for the holiday. So just in case you waited and haven’t decorated your lawn just yet, we’ve put together some cool ideas that are easy to put together at home. Check them out.

Make Use Of Your Potted Plants

One of the easiest things to decorate for Halloween are your potted plants. Whether it’s just a simple homemade spider web, plastic bugs crawling in the plant or a fake hand protruding from the soil of the plant. There are so many ways you can incorporate your plants into the decoration.

Decorate Your Fence

Your fence can be easily incorporated into a Halloween decorative scene but can also be easily forgotten. Decorating your fence is similar to decorating your pots in the sense that you have many decorative options and visions you can explore. Whether you’re wanting to make your fence look old and worn, spider infested or splattered with blood (fake blood, of course), your fence can be a great prop in decorating for Halloween.

Homemade Blow-up Pumpkins

Turn a yard full of leaves into a pumpkin family in little to no time. Simply buy some trash bags that have a pumpkin face on them (these are often available at the supermarket during the fall) and stuff them with leaves! The more bags of leaves you have – the bigger your pumpkin family will be. It’s an easy way to efficiently clean and add personality to your yard.

So whether you’re looking to make your yard look spooky, scary or friendly this Halloween, these ideas are definitely great places to start. Embrace your creativity this holiday season and let it show in your lawn. Happy decorating!
