										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and found yourself swooning over the dreamy homes of your favorite influencers? There are plenty out there, and there’s plenty on TikTok, YouTube, you name it! For basically all influencer/ content creator homes, they seem to offer these perfectly styled spaces that scream luxury, coziness, and impeccable taste. It just feels like it&#8217;s too far away to achieve, right?</p>



<p> For starters, it’s really expensive, and on top of that, where do they <a href="https://instantella.com/how-do-you-keep-your-house-clean-when-you-just-dont-have-time/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">find the time to keep the whole house clean</a> constantly? Well, the good news is you don’t need a million-dollar budget or an interior design degree to achieve the same look in your own home. </p>



<p>Actually, it’s far more achievable than you think! Honestly, all it really takes is some thoughtful touches and strategic investments, and you can even create a space that’s not only beautiful but also functional and uniquely yours. So, with that said, here’s how to make your home look like it’s straight out of an influencer’s feed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It Helps to Start with a Neutral Base</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-neutrals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="990" height="557" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Decorating-with-neutrals-–-15-beautiful-pared-back-schemes-990x557.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-4765" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Decorating-with-neutrals-–-15-beautiful-pared-back-schemes-990x557.webp 990w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Decorating-with-neutrals-–-15-beautiful-pared-back-schemes-300x169.webp 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Decorating-with-neutrals-–-15-beautiful-pared-back-schemes-768x432.webp 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Decorating-with-neutrals-–-15-beautiful-pared-back-schemes.webp 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Decorating with neutrals – 15 beautiful pared-back schemes</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>One common element in many influencer homes is a neutral color palette. So, you’ll want to think of shades of white, beige, grey, and soft pastels. These colors create a clean and serene backdrop that makes your space feel open, airy, and sophisticated. Plus, neutrals are incredibly versatile and can be easily dressed up or down with accessories.</p>



<p>So you’ll want to go ahead and begin by painting your walls in a neutral shade. White is a classic choice that reflects light and makes any room feel larger and brighter. If white feels too stark, go for warm greys or beige tones. These colors provide the perfect canvas for layering textures and adding pops of color.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Layer Textures of Depth</h2>



<p>For most influencer homes, you’ll find that they have a lot of depth, and that’s exactly what you’re going to want to achieve. Ideally, you’ll want to entirely avoid a space that feels flat or sterile; it’s important to layer different textures. You’ll want to go ahead and think about incorporating elements like a chunky knit throw, a velvet cushion, a jute rug, and a leather chair.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These varied textures add depth and interest to your space, making it feel cozy and inviting. But what else? Well, textiles are your best friend here. Hands-down, it’s a great idea to mix and match materials like cotton, wool, linen, and faux fur. Layering rugs is also a great way to add warmth and texture to a room. For example, place a smaller, patterned rug on top of a larger, neutral one.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embrace Minimalism and Stylish Storage</h2>



<p>So, there are two different types of influencer homes you’ll find: cluttered up (tastefully) or totally clutter-free. Maybe not on that Kim Kardashian level, but close enough. Overall, a hallmark of influencer homes is their clutter-free, organized look. This is where minimalism meets smart storage solutions. Invest in stylish storage options that blend seamlessly with your decor.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For the most part, you’re usually going to find that influencer homes are filled with big bookshelves, plenty of chic baskets, those apothecary shelves, a built-in look for their wardrobe, and so on. You could even Marie Kondo your space by keeping only what you truly love and use. Everything else should have a designated spot out of sight. This not only keeps your home tidy but also creates a sense of calm and order.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Integrate Smart Home Features</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.builderonline.com/design/technology/heard-not-seen-incorporating-hidden-audio-into-new-builds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="876" height="584" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HEARD-NOT-SEEN-INCORPORATING-HIDDEN-AUDIO-INTO-NEW-BUILDS.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4766" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HEARD-NOT-SEEN-INCORPORATING-HIDDEN-AUDIO-INTO-NEW-BUILDS.jpg 876w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HEARD-NOT-SEEN-INCORPORATING-HIDDEN-AUDIO-INTO-NEW-BUILDS-300x200.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HEARD-NOT-SEEN-INCORPORATING-HIDDEN-AUDIO-INTO-NEW-BUILDS-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>HEARD NOT SEEN: INCORPORATING HIDDEN AUDIO INTO NEW BUILDS</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>By all means, you need to have those <a href="https://smarthomesavy.com/smart-home-gadgets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">must-have smart home products</a>! The ones that give that ultra-luxurious feeling? They feel super exclusive, like they’re only for the wealthy, but believe it or not, most smart home features are fairly inexpensive! Just take a look at what you usually see content creators use; it’s almost the same things (maybe different brands). For example, they’ll have motorized blinds or curtains, smart lights like Philips Hue, voice assistants like Alexa, and plenty of others. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Curate Your Space Through Thoughtful Decor</h2>



<p>Finally, it’s the little details that bring a space together. Thoughtful decor items like scented candles, elegant trays, and chic coffee table books add the finishing touches. In general, you just need to try and pay attention to the materials and colors to ensure they <a href="https://www.marthastewart.com/outdated-home-decor-trends-8386244" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">complement your overall aesthetic</a>. So, the thing about influencer homes is that most of them are tailored to what they like. Sure, some follow trends, but some don&#8217;t. So, realistically, you just need to cater to what you like and what you enjoy. </p>

<p>Keeping a house clean while juggling a busy schedule can be a daunting task, but it is achievable with the right strategies and a bit of planning. Here are some effective tips to maintain a tidy home even when time is scarce.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Develop a Cleaning Schedule</strong></h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignright size-large"><a href="https://www.bhg.com/homekeeping/house-cleaning/tips/cleaning-hacks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="413" height="620" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/22-Genius-House-Cleaning-Hacks-for-a-Tidier-Space-in-No-Time-413x620.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-4727" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/22-Genius-House-Cleaning-Hacks-for-a-Tidier-Space-in-No-Time-413x620.webp 413w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/22-Genius-House-Cleaning-Hacks-for-a-Tidier-Space-in-No-Time-140x210.webp 140w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/22-Genius-House-Cleaning-Hacks-for-a-Tidier-Space-in-No-Time.webp 750w" sizes="(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>22 Genius House Cleaning Hacks for a Tidier Space in No Time</em></figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Creating a cleaning schedule can help distribute tasks evenly throughout the week, preventing chores from piling up. Break down cleaning tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly activities. For instance, make your bed and do a quick tidy-up each morning, vacuum and dust on weekends, and deep clean the kitchen and bathrooms once a month. Breaking down the task into smaller chunks can make it seem a lot more manageable and less of a gargantuan effort.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Prioritize High-Traffic Areas</strong></h2>



<p>Focus on areas that get the most use, such as the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Keeping these spaces clean can make the entire house feel more organized. Wipe down kitchen counters and appliances after use, clean bathroom surfaces regularly, and ensure the living room is clutter-free by tidying up each evening.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Declutter Regularly</strong></h2>



<p>Clutter can make a clean house appear messy. Dedicate a few minutes each day to <a href="https://instantella.com/from-chaos-to-calm-how-decluttering-can-reduce-stress-and-anxiety/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">decluttering</a>. Use storage solutions like baskets, bins, and shelves to keep items organized and out of sight. A clutter-free home is easier to maintain and reduces the time needed for cleaning. Keeping the home clutter-free is also going to literally make it easier to clean since clutter tends to attract more dust.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use Time-Saving Cleaning Tools</strong></h2>



<p>Invest in time-saving cleaning tools and products. A <a href="https://www.kxnet.com/studio701/best-reviews/best-reviews-best-robotic-vacuum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">robotic vacuum</a> can keep your floors clean with minimal effort, while multi-purpose cleaning sprays can tackle various surfaces quickly. Microfiber cloths are excellent for dusting and cleaning, as they require little to no additional cleaning products</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Outsource When Necessary</strong></h2>



<p>You don’t have to do it all yourself if you have the means to get some help in the home. If your schedule is particularly demanding, consider hiring professional <a href="https://yorlenyscleaningservice.com/house-cleaning-maids/stuart/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cleaning services</a> for periodic deep cleaning. This can alleviate the burden and ensure your home remains clean and healthy. Alternatively, consider using laundry or dishwashing services to free up more time for other tasks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Involve the Whole Family</strong></h2>



<p>Cleaning should not be a one-person job. Involve your family or housemates in maintaining a tidy home. Assign <a href="https://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/chores-for-children" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">age-appropriate chores</a> to children and encourage everyone to pick up after themselves. A collaborative effort can significantly reduce the time and effort required to keep the house clean.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Adopt Minimalist Practices</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://lifegoalsmag.com/tips-cleaning-like-minimalist/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="770" height="514" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10-Tips-To-Help-You-Declutter-and-Clean-Like-A-Minimalist.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-4728" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10-Tips-To-Help-You-Declutter-and-Clean-Like-A-Minimalist.webp 770w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10-Tips-To-Help-You-Declutter-and-Clean-Like-A-Minimalist-300x200.webp 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/10-Tips-To-Help-You-Declutter-and-Clean-Like-A-Minimalist-768x513.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>10 Tips To Help You Declutter and Clean Like A Minimalist</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>Adopting minimalist practices can make maintaining a clean home easier. Keep only what you need and use regularly, and be intentional about new purchases. Less stuff means less clutter, fewer things to clean, and a more streamlined home environment.</p>



<p>Maintaining a clean home when you&#8217;re busy requires a combination of organization, efficient time management, and the involvement of everyone in the household. By developing a routine, prioritizing tasks, and using the right tools, you can keep your house clean and enjoy a more relaxing and orderly living space, even with a hectic schedule.</p>

<p>The post <a href="https://instantella.com/how-to-keep-your-sanity-during-a-home-remodel/">How to Keep Your Sanity During a Home Remodel</a> appeared first on <a href="https://instantella.com">InstantELLA</a>.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Your home is your sanctuary, so when you decide to go through a big home remodelling project, the level of chaos and intrusion it causes in your life almost cannot be explained. You know in your head that the end result is going to be worth all of this hassle, but, when you’re living amongst dust, noise, mess and belongings strewn about the place, it can soon begin to affect you mentally.</p>



<p>Some people may choose to live elsewhere temporarily, perhaps at a family member or friend’s house, but if that isn’t an option for you, you might have no choice but to stay put while the work is being done. And, sometimes you may even have little to no access to your bathroom or kitchen for parts of the day, which can be very frustrating. You may even have restricted access outside too because of <a href="https://www.mteevanhire.co.uk/blog/10-essential-tools-for-your-renovation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tools and machinery being used in your remodel</a>.</p>



<p>But, the good part of staying put is that you can be there to oversee every part of the project, which could save a lot of time and money. The big question is, how can you stay sane when your home is being remodelled?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hiring a Trusted Professional</h2>



<p>The easiest way to keep your sanity during a home remodel is by hiring a great professional. Home remodeling projects often involve a wide range of tasks, from structural changes and electrical work to plumbing and finishing touches, all of which require different skill sets. Take&nbsp;<a href="https://gahomeremodeling.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">basement remodeling</a>&nbsp;as an example: it can involve water management, proper ventilation, electrical wiring, and structural support—areas where a specialized professional makes all the difference. Similarly, bathroom renovations come with their own unique challenges, like plumbing layouts, waterproofing, and tile installation. Hiring experts who are experienced in the specific type of remodel you’re planning ensures the work is done efficiently, safely, and to a high standard, helping you avoid unnecessary stress along the way.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Forget about cleaning for now</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.andysowards.com/blog/2021/a-guide-to-budgeting-your-home-renovations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.andysowards.com/blog/assets/How-to-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation.jpg" alt=""/></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>A Guide to Budgeting Your Home Renovations</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>If you’ve ever had a remodelling project before, you’ll know that there’s no way of escaping the dust and the dirt. While you should absolutely lay down plastic sheets to protect furniture that isn’t being removed during the project, you should probably forget about cleaning your home (or at least that area) for the time being. It might be difficult, but you’ll end up losing your marbles if you’re trying to clean during the remodel. Instead, you could research some <a href="https://krystalclearsc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">residential cleaning services</a> to come in and clean up once the work is done.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Plan where to store things</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://instantella.com/5-household-upgrades-that-help-your-home-work-for-you/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.andysowards.com/blog/assets/living-room-wall-makeover-5.jpg" alt="" style="width:840px;height:auto"/></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>5 Household Upgrades That Help Your Home Work For You</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>As mentioned earlier, your belongings and furniture will probably need to be moved or removed during the project, so now is a good time to plan where you can store things so that you can access them easily if you need them. If you’ve got a garage, consider temporarily moving those items in there so that you don’t have to go far to access them. If that’s not an option, ask friends and family if they’ve got any space they can spare for a short while. And, if that’s not going to work, you could look at storage space while the remodel is underway.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep the end in sight</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/cleaning-organization/how-to-organize-home-renovation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="900" height="506" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-4470" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation.webp 900w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation-300x169.webp 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation-768x432.webp 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation-150x84.webp 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-To-Organize-Your-Home-Renovation-600x337.webp 600w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>How To Organize Your Home Renovation</em><br><a href="https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/author/stacy-sare-cohen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Finally, it can be difficult to stay positive when your home is being overrun and is full of strangers remodelling your home. But, it’s important to keep the end in sight, and to remind yourself of why you’re going through this in the first place. Take the time to imagine the end result and picture yourself enjoying the newly remodelled space in your home.

<p>If you’re looking to <a href="https://instantella.com/turn-your-home-into-your-own-little-slice-of-paradise/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">turn your home into your own little slice of paradise</a>, you should always begin by carrying out some good old-fashioned maintenance tasks. While they may not be as fun or glamorous as redecorating and picking out new furniture, completing these tasks is essential when it comes to managing a happy, healthy home.</p>



<p>With that in mind, here are the essential home maintenance tasks you should aim to complete in 2024!</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Clean your gutters. </strong><a href="https://dalton-roofing.com/how-to-clean-your-own-gutters/#:~:text=Put%20the%20ladder%20to%20the,the%20sludge%20at%20the%20bottom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleaning out your gutters</a> is a relatively simple task but one that can save you a lot of stress and money further down the line. After all, failing to clean out your gutters could lead to plumbing issues, such as blockages or cracked/damaged piping.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Seal any gaps. </strong>Sealing any gaps in your walls, windows, door frames, and even your attic is also a crucial task. This is because it protects your home from the elements while also stopping warm air from escaping your property. Remember, even the smallest of gaps can prove problematic, as not only does this leave your home vulnerable to any changes in the weather, but it could also serve as an entryway for pests. If you notice any signs of pests within your home, it&#8217;s crucial that you reach out to a local <a href="https://brentwoodpest.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pest Control</a> company right away.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Declutter. </strong>There are many benefits associated with decluttering your home. Firstly, many studies have found that <a href="https://instantella.com/from-chaos-to-calm-how-decluttering-can-reduce-stress-and-anxiety/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">decluttering can reduce stress and anxiety</a>, as being in cluttered areas often causes these feelings to intensify. Beyond this, however, decluttering can also help to keep your family healthy, as there are fewer places for dust and other allergens to gather.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Test your smoke alarms. </strong>It is typically recommended that you check your smoke alarms once a month. Despite this being an important health and safety precaution, <a href="https://www.lifeconnect24.co.uk/blog/fire-safety-smoke-alarms/#:~:text=However%2C%20around%20one%20in%20ten,admit%20they%20never%20test%20theirs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">22% of homeowners admit to never testing their alarms</a>, putting the safety of themselves, their family, and their property at risk. As such, you should start off the year on the right foot by testing your smoke alarms alongside any other alarms you may have in the house.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Bring in the experts when necessary. </strong>If, during a routine home inspection, you encounter any serious maintenance issues within your home – such as leaking or damaged pipes or electrical faults, it is crucial that you don’t try to carry out these tasks single-handedly. After all, unless you’re a plumber or an electrician, the chances are that you’ll make the issue worse – not better. Conversely, while they come at an extra expense, a professional will carry out the tasks to a high standard and as quickly as possible. So call up a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benjaminfranklinplumbing.com/marietta/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Plumber Marietta GA</a>&nbsp;(or one in your location) as well as an electrician if you start to notice anything that could become serious as time goes on.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Deep clean. </strong>Alongside decluttering, deep cleaning is also an essential maintenance task you should carry out this year. During this time, pay particular attention to tasks that may be neglected during more routine cleaning. For example, this could mean that you clean the skirting boards or spaces behind large and bulky furniture. Doing so will help you to maintain a spotlessly clean home.</li>
</ul>

<p>The humidity levels in your home aren’t something you think about all too often. For many people, humidity is an invisible thing that you don’t pay attention to. If you can’t see it, then it won’t cause any problems…right?&nbsp;</p>



<p>Not necessarily! Humidity is way more important than you think, and every household should have some sort of <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/the-best-hygrometers-7553218" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humidity reader</a>. It will basically tell you how much moisture is in the air &#8211; a higher humidity reading means the air is full of moisture while a lower one tells you that it’s relatively dry.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Why does this matter? Because the humidity levels impact the air around you, which can have a profound effect on your home and the people in it. This will make more sense if we look at the problems caused by high or low humidity in the house.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Problems With Low Humidity Levels</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.bobvila.com/articles/humidity-level-at-home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="650" height="433" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Solved-This-Is-Your-Homes-Ideal-Indoor-Humidity-Level.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-4128" style="aspect-ratio:1.5011547344110854;width:844px;height:auto" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Solved-This-Is-Your-Homes-Ideal-Indoor-Humidity-Level.webp 650w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Solved-This-Is-Your-Homes-Ideal-Indoor-Humidity-Level-300x200.webp 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Solved-This-Is-Your-Homes-Ideal-Indoor-Humidity-Level-150x100.webp 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Solved-This-Is-Your-Homes-Ideal-Indoor-Humidity-Level-600x400.webp 600w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Solved! This Is Your Home’s Ideal Indoor Humidity Level</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>Get a humidity reader and check what it says. Ideally, you should look for readings between 40-60%. That’s the humidity sweet spot, but if you’re seeing a percentage of 30 or below, then the indoor humidity is far too low.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As a result, the air is excessively dry, which can lead to a host of health issues:&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li>Dry skin</li>



<li>Dry and inflamed nasal passages</li>



<li>An increased risk of catching colds or other viruses</li>
</ul>



<p>Not only that, but low humidity levels can cause damage to <a href="https://instantella.com/inexpensive-ways-to-start-expand-your-indoor-plant-collection-for-free/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">indoor plants</a> by drying up their soil. It may also shrink timber and other wooden structures on your property because wood needs some moisture to keep it healthy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Therefore, you need to boost your humidity levels back up &#8211; a humidifier is the easiest way to do this. Or, you can simply run the shower and leave the bathroom door open, allowing steam to moisturize the air.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Problems With High Humidity Levels</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/a40930666/heres-how-to-achieve-the-ideal-home-humidity-level/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="622" height="620" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-622x620.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4129" style="aspect-ratio:1.0032258064516129;width:836px;height:auto" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-622x620.jpg 622w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-211x210.jpg 211w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-75x75.jpg 75w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-768x766.jpg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-150x150.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level-600x599.jpg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Heres-How-to-Achieve-the-Ideal-Home-Humidity-Level.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Here’s How to Achieve the Ideal Home Humidity Level</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>Low humidity is bad, but high humidity can be just as problematic &#8211; if not worse. This is when the levels consistently sit above 60%. Sometimes this isn’t always bad, but if your home is always at 60% or 70% humidity, then there is far too much moisture in the air.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Compared to low humidity levels and dry air, extra moist air causes a different set of issues. These aren’t health-based but have more to do with your property. Excess moisture will create dampness and generate the best conditions for mold growth. That’s why areas like your kitchen or bathroom often have mold growing &#8211; they’re the most humid parts of your house. If you can’t tell if that black spot on the ceiling is mold or not, then you could always contact someone like this company offering <a href="https://www.greenhomesolutions.com/baltimore-md/our-services/mold-testing-and-removal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mold testing in Baltimore, MD</a> to come out and give you a definitive answer so that you can then take the next steps, if necessary.</p>



<p>Mold is a big problem as it can lead to respiratory problems &#8211; but it also damages your home. You’ll need a <a href="https://coastlineclean.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mold remediation company</a> to come in and remove the affected areas then prevent further growth. It can be a costly and invasive process, so you need to focus on stopping mold growth in the beginning.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As such, you must lower the humidity to a more reasonable level. This can be done by opening windows or getting a dehumidifier &#8211; which does the opposite of a humidifier and removes moisture from the air.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On that note, this should explain why humidity is such a crucial part of your home. If it gets too low, you can damage parts of the property and cause health issues. When it gets too high, there’s a massive risk of mold and damp growth. So, always focus on maintaining an indoor humidity of between 40-60%. It’s not as difficult as it sounds &#8211; open/close windows, use humidifiers/dehumidifiers and you will be fine.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Simply put, processed products can have a harmful effect on the home environment. Therefore, it is best to look for alternatives that are organic and can be naturally prepared to clean your home. Now, because not many people can clean their homes naturally, they will eventually look for chemical-infused products. However, once done, it is hard to say if your health will be fully protected. This is because a lot of people complain about respiratory issues and other problems after using the shop-bought products. In this feature, we will highlight the importance of using natural ways to clean your home and make it stand out:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use a Multipurpose Spray</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://instantella.com/5-natural-remedies-home-cleaning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" width="650" height="420" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3810" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-3.jpg 650w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-3-300x194.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-3-150x97.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-3-600x388.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">5 Natural Remedies for Home Cleaning</figcaption></figure>



<p>Are you looking forward to saving time? Bring a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/nov/17/five-ways-to-clean-your-home-naturally" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">multipurpose spray bottle</a> to your home. However, the liquid will be prepared in your kitchen. All you need is a half cup of vinegar and a half cup of water. On the other hand, if you’re repulsed by the smell of vinegar, you can infuse essential oils into the blend. Most people use lemon as it has a lucrative smell. The most amazing thing about this spray is that it can be used on almost any surface in your home, such as your countertops, the <a href="https://blindsbynoon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interior shutters</a> in your windows, and kitchen cabinets. Leaving you with a cleaner home without using any strong chemicals. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use Olive Oil</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.thespruce.com/uses-for-olive-oil-cleaning-4175066" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" width="925" height="620" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-925x620.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3820" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-925x620.png 925w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-300x201.png 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-768x515.png 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-150x101.png 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18-600x402.png 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-18.png 940w" sizes="(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">20 Surprising Uses for Olive Oil Around the Home</figcaption></figure>



<p>It is not only good for your health but has plenty of other benefits too. Many experts acknowledge it as furniture polish because it is the perfect antioxidant. The use of olive oil will surely simplify your life and allow you to live sustainably. Use a cotton cloth and drench it in olive oil. Once the cloth has absorbed enough quantity, you must squeeze it. Don’t forget to add lemon juice, as it will cut the strong smell of olive oil. Use the blend to polish your furniture, and once done, let every piece of furniture out in the naked sun.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fight Mould with Vinegar and Tea tree Oil</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.thedailymeal.com/healthy-eating/natural-cleaning-tips-home-gallery/slide-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" width="856" height="554" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3819" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16.png 856w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16-300x194.png 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16-768x497.png 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16-150x97.png 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16-600x388.png 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-16-650x420.png 650w" sizes="(max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Natural Cleaning Tips for Your Home</figcaption></figure>



<p>No wonder mold is a major problem in major households right now. However, one spray infused with vinegar, and tea tree oil is enough to fight this problem. All you have to do is prepare the home spray and rub it on the affected parts. Once done, allow the liquid to rest on the surface for 30 minutes. On the contrary, if you’re not an avid DIYer, it is recommended to consult professional home cleaners. Make sure to learn about their <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://clutch.co/profile/net-reputation" target="_blank">net reputation</a> before hiring.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use Bicarbonate Soda</strong></h2>

<p>Bicarbonate soda works in 3 ways broadly: it emanates a sweet smell, fizzes if wet, and will penetrate grease without much effort. Bicarbonate soda is a major necessity in households because it assists in bathroom cleaning to a great extent. On the other hand, it helps remove grease from the infected areas of the bathroom. Secondly, if you wish to see the sanitary parts of the bathroom shine, bicarbonate soda will enable you to breathe life into this goal. Once the bicarbonate soda is used, it will help in giving out a fresh look at the surface.</p>

<p>Most experts swear by this biodegradable and non-toxic soap. It is usually used as dish soap, for laundry detergent, and the floor cleaner. Recently, experts have also recommended it for use as a shampoo. To create it, you need to wash up the liquid, mix some part of the castile soap with a little amount of water. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="624" height="351" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3812" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-1.jpg 624w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Top-Ways-to-Clean-your-Home-Naturally-1-600x338.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px" /></figure>



<p>For best results, it is recommended that you use a quarter cup of vinegar and don’t forget to put hot water in it. Squeeze the castile soap so that the mixture can benefit from it the most.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most families have little treasures that have been passed down throughout the years. Perhaps it’s a family bible or a hand-sewn wedding dress. Whatever the item, they each have a special memory that needs to be preserved. If you were fortunate enough to become the recipient of a family heirloom here are a few tips for preserving the item. <span style="font-weight: 400;">You might also be in the position where you are collecting items that will be passed down directly from you to your children or other family members. An heirloom is typically something like jewelry, like necklaces or rings with precious gems or diamonds, or they otherwise look interesting, like </span><a href="https://diamondexpert.com/diamond-reviews/kay-jewelers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the allure of Kay Jewelers&#8217; pieces</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Antiques, deeds, letters, and even handwritten recipes can be handed down. Taking the utmost care is a must, so here is how you can take care of the items you want to be passed down.</span></p>
<h3>Memory</h3>
<p><a href="https://madisonmutual.com/keeping-memories-alive-how-to-preserve-family-heirlooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-3422" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-926x620.jpg" alt="" width="926" height="620" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-926x620.jpg 926w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-300x201.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-768x514.jpg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-150x100.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-4-600x402.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 926px) 100vw, 926px" /></a><br />
<em>KEEPING MEMORIES ALIVE: HOW TO PRESERVE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS</em></p>
<p>To make sure family heirlooms are loved, respected and treasured for years to come, take the time to write out an explanation for the item. If the article is your great, great grandfather’s pocket watch that he received from his employer on his wedding day in Ireland, write that down. If you don’t and the story isn’t remembered, that watch just becomes an antique with no meaning.</p>
<p>Just take a note card and answer these 6 simple questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Who?</li>
<li>What?</li>
<li>When?</li>
<li>Where?</li>
<li>Why?</li>
<li>How?</li>
</ol>
<p>If there is some emotional connection to the heirloom like a story, include that as well. If the family sewing machine traveled across the United States in the back of a wagon during the California Gold Rush, write it down. Any item that has been passed down from one generation to the next has stories to tell and it is up to you to preserve those as well.</p>
<h3>Temperature</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/03/21/688886161/museum-curator-in-florida-races-against-time-to-preserve-holocaust-items" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3421" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-990x556.jpg" alt="" width="990" height="556" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-990x556.jpg 990w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-1.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px" /></a><br />
<em>&#8216;Time Is Running Out&#8217;: Museum Curator In Florida Races To Preserve Holocaust Items</em></p>
<p>Fluctuating temperature is a large factor for destroying family heirlooms. Old articles can’t handle incredibly hot or cold temperatures. For this reason, you should try and store your antiques in places that stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid storing your old items in the attic, basement, barn, shed or even near windows or heating vents.</p>
<h3>Humidity</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.archivalmethods.com/blog/storing-family-heirlooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3424" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="313" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-3.jpg 500w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-3-150x94.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a><br />
<em>Basic Tips for Storing Family Heirlooms</em></p>
<p>Humidity can murder antiques, especially if it is furniture. If you bring an old piano or rocking chair from the dry desert of New Mexico over to the incredibly humid climate of Louisiana, you&#8217;re likely to have the wood split as it tries to pull in all of the moisture. Try to keep your antiques in relatively dry areas so they don’t begin to accumulate mold, but remember that too dry can also lead to things drying out and splitting. Keep heirlooms in an environment that they are used to being in and avoid intense humidity or dryness.</p>
<h3>Light</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/preserve-and-protect-family-heirlooms-1422002" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3425" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-6.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="417" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-6.jpg 585w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-6-295x210.jpg 295w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-6-150x107.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px" /></a><br />
<em>Preserve and Protect Family Heirlooms &amp; Treasures</em></p>
<p>Ultraviolet light can be dangerous for your antiques because it breaks down the chemicals in the pigmentation of photographs, papers, plastics, and other valuables. If you have old pictures that have begun to fade they might have fallen victim to this decay. Just keep in mind that less light is typically better for preserving your family heirlooms.</p>
<h3>Dust</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3423" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-5.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-5.jpg 750w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-5-150x100.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Preserving-Family-Heirlooms-5-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><br />
<a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/-1aE4Kpy-Qc?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>Image Source</i></a></p>
<p>Not only is dust bothersome, but it can also be detrimental to your family heirlooms. Dust can be wiped away relatively easily, but if it is left to sit for too long it can trap in moisture, causing mold to grow. It can also invite bugs to make homes in old books or wood, and it can weaken materials. Just make sure to be diligent in your dust removal.</p>
<p>If you are especially worried about keeping a family heirloom in good condition you can visit a specialist to help you in the care of your article. Most jewelers should be able to help you with watches and jewelry. Visit your local library or college for help in preserving books and documents. Good luck with keeping your families’ memories alive and preserved.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter can seem like forever. If you live in a place that has true winter, you probably know the feeling of just wanting the sun to come back for good and for spring to come.</p>
<p>After Christmas, it can feel like just a couple of grey, cold, months that lie ahead with not a lot to do and a lot of cabin fever.</p>
<p>But the good news is there are things you can do to make you feel productive even in the winter time and also help you prepare for spring, and help the winter months pass by a little quicker.</p>
<p>Here are five ways to get through the winter even if all you want is for it to be spring already, and be that much more excited for when it finally comes.</p>
<h3>Make sleep a priority</h3>
<p><a href="http://infinigeek.com/good-nights-rest-can-music-help-fall-asleep/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3317" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-5.jpg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-5-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><br />
<em>A Good Night’s Rest: Can Music Help You Fall Asleep?</em></p>
<p>Since it is cold and grey and the sun goes down a lot earlier it may be time for you to also go down earlier and catch up on sleep that you have probably been needing.</p>
<p>The winter is a great time to get more sleep and get in the habit of having an earlier bedtime, which will not only make you feel more rested but also help prevent the chances of you getting sick, which can be an issue in winter.</p>
<h3>Organize your home</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.andysowards.com/blog/2018/5-tips-interior-design-business-success/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-465x620.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="620" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3321" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-465x620.jpg 465w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-158x210.jpg 158w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-150x200.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6-600x800.jpg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-6.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px" /></a><br />
<em>5 Tips for Interior Design Business Success</em></p>
<p>The one upside to being stuck in your house all day because it’s freezing outside is that you can use that time to do some organizing.</p>
<p>You can go room to room and write down all the things you’ve been meaning to do and then each day you can mark those items off of your list.</p>
<p>Not only will it be nice to spend time in an organized home, but you can also involve the whole family because they are also stuck inside and can help the house get into tip-top shape before spring.</p>
<h3>Clear your driveway</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.andysowards.com/blog/2018/stay-safe-icy-season/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-3.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="420" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3319" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-3.jpg 640w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-3-300x197.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-3-150x98.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-3-600x394.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><br />
<em>How to Stay Safe During the Icy Season</em></p>
<p>Clearing your driveway of snow and ice is a great way to be motivated to actually leave your house, but also ensures that you actually will be able to if you ever need to.</p>
<p>It may seem silly considering once you clear the snow only more will come, but making sure to do it on a regular basis will ensure that it stays relatively clear and doesn’t become overwhelming.</p>

<em>4 Super Fun Winter Date Ideas</em></p>
<p>Although this may be the very last thing you want to do during winter and before spring comes, getting outside will really help your mood and give you something to do.</p>
<p>Even if it’s just for a short walk or if you are feeling more adventurous and go skiing or snowboarding, getting outside will get you moving and active and make time pass a lot quicker.</p>
<h3>Have a nice fire </h3>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-905x620.png" alt="" width="905" height="620" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3322" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-905x620.png 905w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-300x205.png 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-768x526.png 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-150x103.png 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-ways-get-through-the-winter-even-if-all-you-want-is-spring-1-min-600x411.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px" /></p>
<p>Another simple thing that makes a big difference, in the wintertime, there is nothing like building a nice warm fire and sitting by the fireplace, reading a good book, or watching a good movie.</p>
<p>It will make winter time a lot more bearable and help pass the time before spring finally comes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes we just don’t have the cleaning supplies that we need (or we don’t think we do…) to clean up certain types of messes in our homes. And sometimes we just don’t want the artificial chemicals and odors having free reign in our homes.</p>

<em>How tidy people keep their homes clean</em></p>
<p>Luckily, there are tons of natural remedies for cleaning jobs around the home. If you’re not sure if you have the necessary supplies, or how to make natural cleaning remedies, then you’re in the right place.</p>
<h3>Baking Soda and Water</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.treehugger.com/cleaning-organizing/20-diy-natural-alternatives-harmful-chemical-cleaners.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3279" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-7.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-7.jpg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-7-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><br />
<em>20 natural cleaning hacks to replace harmful chemicals</em></p>
<p>Baking soda is an amazing ingredient to clean so many things. Mix it with water to create a paste to clean the bottom of your oven. Spread it over the mess in the oven, leave for a few hours, and wipe it down when you get back to it. You can also use this to get those tough to clean dishes and spots on the table or counter. If you notice bugs or other pests gathering around the sink, you may need something tougher. In that case, you might want to investigate <a href="https://www.pestcontrolexperts.com/local/maryland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">maryland terminix locations</a> and invest in pest control measures to ensure your home remains pest free.</p>
<h3>Citrus and Vinegar</h3>

<em>Cleaning Solutions: Restoring Different Types Of Floors From Rug Pad Marks</em></p>
<p>Vinegar and lemon and oranges are great natural cleaners. Fill a mason jar with some lemon or orange peels and pour white vinegar over it. Let it soak for a couple days and then pull the citrus peels out. You’re left with a natural cleaner that you can put into a spray bottle and use to clean windows, mop floors, or disinfect surfaces like counters and tabletops.</p>

<em>Ask the Strategist: Are There Any Good Dry-cleaning Alternatives?</em></p>
<p>Getting sick of the yellow stains in the armpits of your white/light colored t-shirts? Try using <u><a href="https://www.thespruce.com/natural-laundry-stain-removers-4061242" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white distilled vinegar</a></u>. It is gentle on fabrics than traditional chemical stain removers and keeps it bright, soft, and fresh smelling.</p>

<em>Simple home remedies to get rid of ants in the house and outside</em></p>
<p>Rather than picking up another aerosol can of Febreeze or whatever you use, try taking it natural. Simmer a small pot of water with natural ingredients in it to freshen the air. Let it simmer for 15-30 minutes.</p>
<p>Here are some great ingredient combinations to use for this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lemon slices, rosemary, and vanilla</li>
<li>Slice of lime and chopped ginger root</li>
<li>Lime slices and thyme</li>
<li>Orange slices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves</li>
</ul>

<em>21 quick and safe DIY cleaning hacks</em></p>
<p>You’ll find that vinegar is a common theme among natural cleaning remedies. It also helps with mold removal. Spray vinegar onto the mold spots, leave for a few hours, and come back and scrub it away with a brush. You can even add a few drops of essential oil to tone down the smell of the vinegar.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3276" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-774x620.jpg" alt="" width="774" height="620" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-774x620.jpg 774w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-262x210.jpg 262w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-768x615.jpg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-150x120.jpg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/5-Natural-Remedies-for-Home-Cleaning-1-600x480.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px" /></p>
<p>If that doesn’t work for you, or if you want to make sure to get all the mold on and under the surface, you might want to try an EPA-approved <u><a href="https://www.puremaintenanceofiowa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mold removal service</a></u>.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What’s a rug pad? Well, to put it simply, these are cushioned pads that are placed under a rug. They have a non-skid surface that will not only grip your rug on the top side, but also the floor on the other. Basically, with one of these rug pads, your rug won’t slip around and you won’t have to worry about slipping or any similar problems. </p>

<em>9 Tips for Removing Scratches from Wood Floors</em></p>
<p>There’s a downside to this though – the rug pad will leave marks on your floors. Many<a target="_blank" href="https://dallasflooringwarehouse.com/"> floor installation companies</a> know how to deal with this problem, and thanks to the tips listed below, now you do as well.</p>
<h3>Use a Solution Like WD-40</h3>

<em>The Best Hardwood Floor Cleaners for Spot-Free Surfaces</em></p>
<p>WD-40 is a lubricant, and is probably the last thing that you’d reach for when you have sticky rug pad residue on your concrete floor. However, it’s actually one of the best things to use. All that you need to do is spray the WD-40 onto the residue and then let it sit for a few minutes. </p>
<p>Run a microfiber towel over the mess to pick up as much of it as you can, and then repeat as needed. In most cases, you won’t have to do this more than two or three times.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-990x557.jpeg" alt="" width="990" height="557" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3108" srcset="https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-990x557.jpeg 990w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-150x84.jpeg 150w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8-600x338.jpeg 600w, https://instantella.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Restoring-Different-Types-Of-Floors-From-Rug-Pad-Marks-8.jpeg 1880w" sizes="(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px" /><br />
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/apartment-architecture-bookcase-bookshelves-271795/"><i>Image Source</i></a></p>
<p>Be careful to not let the WD-40 sit on the floor for more than a few minutes at a time, since it will seep into the concrete and stain it. If this happens, pour a little laundry detergent over the stain and cover it with sawdust or cat litter. (Yes, this is similar to what you do in order to remove oil and stains from your driveway.)</p>
<p>If you don’t have any WD-40 on hand, you can use any lubricant, or even things like Goo Gone or any other adhesive remover.</p>
